Public Service Announcement

Jones's Notes
I've grown sick of what people in my generation claim to be "love". I feel like Romeo in an endless sea of casual encounters and it pisses me off. These are my thoughts. Props to @SCStatic, I analysed his verses and used what I learned from him to make mine more controversial and personal.
I spit vain vanities in some of my bars
Don't blame my insanity 'cause y'all knew from the start
I'm fronting 'cause I want to escape from the scars
I got something to say and it's straight from the heart
I don't aim to be amazing or show off in a song
This is just a P.S.A. but y'all consider it art
Feels like I'm alone on Earth and it can't be helped
I'm at a crossroads and I'm second guessing myself
Wandering paths and pondering what it means to be numb
Can't stand so lost for long and the guilty culprit is love
Now my mouth's spitting lines of compassion
Maybe it's cause I'm kinda old fashioned
I'm invested in the fact that love is everlasting
I'm serious when I commit 'cause I'm not acting
I prefer not to hookup 'cause I'm hooked on romancing
I'd like to look up in life and then live it while laughing
So, much like anyone else, I'd like to be looked after
To be loved and bask in the sounds of cute laughter
I'd like to smile every time I spy to look at her
Write bars for good things in my life I can capture
Preaching them to you guys is my ambition as a rapper
I get that I feel this way 'cause I'm only human
I'm a gentleman among men who won't call you, then again
I'm different, I don't hit on girls, instead I court women
And yeah, I think the idea of marriage is kinda pleasant
Yet pursuing happiness is ironically depressing
And realising this has only been the harshest of lessons
So I've decided that it's time for an honest confession
It's not my own fault 'cause we all gotta be questioned
We lost our way with love, instead we pass on affection
Is this how we want the bonds that connect us to be strengthened?
We gotta look at the ones we love and then put some damn effort in
I crushed on a girl in the past, I loved her abundantly
One-sided, 'cause I was just a friend and good company
I remember trying to tell her my feelings one evening
It was a decision that I hadn't made reluctantly
We were walking home from a movie and at the traffic stop
A man emerged from the darkness suddenly
He pulled out a gun, said "Gimme your money!", and had it cocked
In that moment
I realised that safety when the lights red's a redundancy
'Cause he pulled the trigger and I watched her die right in front of me
I could do nothing except write novelties uncomfortably
The mug motherfucker didn't even sit in police custody
He just paid the pig a bribe and returned home to poverty
And for the rest of my life I had to come to terms with monstrosity
And pretend that all that shit that happened was not an atrocity
No, I had to handle my shit and set an example responsibly
When I hear "I love you" and hate it, it's 'cause that shit insulted me
'Cause more than half the time it's said by two-timing mysogony
