once upona time

will my gravestone have been covered with scribblings upon it

how many flowers will be placed, how much pain giving it is

how much thanks given will i have lived for nothing

will i have become engulfed in the light of god

till my shadow disappears with fears and i become blind to my past years

entering a blank room and throne seat people in tears drops come in

with brethren drumming and crowds waving praising a single light

and all the rays spray and disperse bursting in the crowds we realize

each of us slaves no matter the position we get all a crown materialized

on top our crowns we all are gods i learned it from psalms the words in my palm

reminds me of tupacs sermon speakin about the ghetto in heaven world in palms

we all talk about say no to bad influence get away from dumb brothers

drop the gun have some fun brother

stop smoking drugs you gotta wait for it to wear off

when work and my thoughts and work give me a high and my thoughts clear dawg

i love ya and dont want to see ya be a nother dumbfucker

so come back to god here's yo robe an angel told me to tell you this

 

life is a story

it goes once upon a time

we all fall down

 

we walkin out oblivious to tomorrow

temporary high feel left wit oblivion and sorrow tomorrow

these streets isnt weaks to me i am proud of it

how many of us strong people get raised out of it

other authors have scholarships and offered slips thrown away cuza needs

nigga needs under the table jobs immediate gradification gradually

cease our priorities you know what im sayin

thats why we dont graduated easily

our insecurities are manipulated

mans pull of hatred made me a rebel with out a cause filled with bitter rage

everything was desirable to my eyes at all cost still i try not to be a victim

curiosity kills the cat we say its not that bad its a one time thing

and then it kills our soul and it becomes a nine time thing

oh im angry with myself anger is building pass the ceiling

mother questioning and tongue at the roof of my mouth excuses im all out

 

dumb niggas distract us ounces bouncers and kilos and women's pillows

our reactions have patterns sit in and take it like it and take more

taste it toke it smokin do that girl no condoms diseased cuz we screwed the world

say im problematic i got an automatic so I'll take a shot

uncle interrupts me and says what the fuck you doin i tell him keep a secret

he looks at me and says there is a special place for you in my heart

yo old relatives dont think all that shits relevant in heaven shit

when you come at the gates what stories will you tell though

author dont bother make in it too tall cuz thats a longer harder fall

well wear jackets also over that sleeve you wear ya heart upon

guard it even though ya wonder whether our blood is water for the ground

of the garden we all are soldiers in this testing ground we fall upon

what is this places name its called once upon a time
