D STREETS

The streets made me want to eat, 

it made me not want to sleep 

it made me want to creep. 

The streets taught me how hustle, 

& how survive recession 

the great depression, 

the streets taught me many lessons 

and most important everyday living you should take it as a blessing.

The streets taught me how to be wise 

and always look out the corner of your eyes 

for evil is alive and always in the shadows waiting for another lost soul's demise.

The streets is ill 

and at times leave you with a chill 

this is real 

it’s nastier than a cesspool 

young girls having babies 

cops are real shady 

and crack heads are straight crazy 

and dope heads always amaze me 

for they never fall 

when they're high, up against the wall. 

Yo the streets can shape you 

make you, 

or even brake you and 

it can take you. 

Only the wise and the lucky ones make it out alive and the foolish one’s dies only the strong survives.
