Crazed2APoint ENIGMA WRAPPED IN FOOLISHNESS's blog: "Crazed Times"

so its story time, time to think of a plotline
i'll outline situations with verbal visualation
somethin to give you a lil mind stimulation
the story starts with a good dude named tony with a good heart
doin all the right things, parents proud of him he plays his part
he aint street smart, parents kept that away from him
parents see the news dont want they son to be like them
they were in the ghetto once upon a time but it never took over him
he's set up for college, yee the dude got knowledge
he's at the moutain top not gettin pushed off the ledge
he was a big brother to a ghetto kid named shawn who was on the edge
he didnt know his family jus had some names of people that were laid to rest
but tony, he helped that lil boy, that boy is tryin his best
tony showed the boy theres more to life din police arrest
he dont have to be like everyone else that he had seen
took him out of his enviorment showed him a new scene
so now to go along with the words he had proof from the things he's seeing
being able to walk outside and not see anybody bleeding
no shanks, no fights, no stupid muhfuckas shooting
shawn was weirded out but at the same time found it soothing
and tony did this for the kid everyday
and made a promise to never go away
until one day he was dropping shawn off
some dude jumped outta nowhere with a sawed off
was bout to jack em both, tony's like wait no
take anything you want from me jus let shawn go
next thing ya know you hear a shot let go
tony seen a light but we'll get back to that later though

***Chorus***
this world has to have a silver lining
that im jus having a very hard time finding
this world cant jus be pain and grief
on these streets with peeps that are just life thieves


second part of the story, i hope you still with me
first situation with tony had jus got a lil sticky
lets go to the other side thats a lil bit darker
this dude named derrick who loss his mother and father
never even really had a chance to know his real family
jus shipped off to foster homes across the whole country
no child is born evil its jus that without guidance bad deeds seem good
shit aint neva good, you're misunderstood, stuck in the hood
with gangs surrounding you its out of with or against
back agaist a razor fence lots of people would give in
he was no different, he gave in and joined now hes in the life of sin
he knew they were bad but his want for family got him in this
beat him in, stupid ass really thinks this is what love is
so they bring him around have him doin some small shit
tagging different hoods and pray to god not to get caught doin it
and it kept goin on moved up to petty crime
jacking old ladies purses only gettin nickles and dimes
so he moved up again this time selling nickels and dimes
crooked cops in the hood part of it hook him up with the drugs all the time
so with those type of connections its time to move up again
gang members give him a sawed off and tell him now the fun begins
although flawed he never really wanted to shoot anybody
but it was either him or them either way now he's unhappy
they tell him where to go and tell him they wanna get this goody goody
who moved out of the hood a long time ago with his family
reluctently he went and waited where they had said
he saw 2 people walking up, one grown man and a kid
he jumped outta nowhere and whispered to himself ''i dont wanna do this''
what they have me doin cant be what love and family is
but his people waiting in a suv down the street if he dont do it they'll jus do it
derrick started to see the light but his peeps dont give a shit
out of he does it or everyone in the area gets done
so derrick scared shitless trembling with a finger on the trigger of the gun
it went off by mistake and the older guy jumped infront of the shotty
caught one to the body saving shawn, o shit it was tony

***Chorus***
this world has to have a silver lining
that im jus having a very hard time finding
this world cant jus be pain and grief
on these streets with peeps that are just life thieves

now if only we could rewind and fix things that happen
derrick stuck, suv drove off, tony on the ground gaspin
shawn and derrick both freaking out ''why'' is what shawn keeps askin
derrick couldnt say anything having a breakdown cryin
but he got on his celly and called 911 and said bring help someone is dyin
police and ambulance showed up took tony to the hospital
derrick got taken to to juvi feeling lost and pitiful
tony is getting worked on on the operating table
there is that light tony seen feeling them tryin to get the bullet
its stuck in his chest and he silently prays with every fading breath
parents and shawn in the waiting room while tony still on the table
parents down on bended kness with shawn prayin that their able
to see they son again, shawn's big brother again
shawns back on the edge if tony dies so does shawns hope
its a lot to cope with and if he cant the next step is dope
he'll end up jus like derrick did, if tony's dead
cuz he lived a good life and shawn remembers everything he ever said
and if this happends to him it means it was all a lie
cuz why do bad people live but the good ones die?
a tear drops from shawn's eye and somewhere in juvi derrick is dying inside
doctor's come out to let the parents know that tony didnt die
a sigh of relief praises and and thank you lords as they arise
tears in they eyes they go see tony and still see the sparkle in his eyes
shawn holds him tight, tony cries tears of joy as shawn says you saved me
more then one time and for that i will always listen to what you say
tony replies you remember that promise i made? told u i would never go away

***Chorus***
this world has to have a silver lining
that im jus having a very hard time finding
this world cant jus be pain and grief
on these streets with peeps that are just life thieves

Now jus when you think its done theres still one twist to the story
it involves forgivness and a look into 2 people's history
tony with his work had connections with a bunch of agencies
people would help him find people, he could get records if he needed it
he wanted to know where derrick was taken he found where he was and google mapped it
got the directions went to pick up shawn for the ride
tony found out something that shook him inside
he ask shawn if he trust him? shawn says ''you know it man''
he looks at shawn and says i hope the stuff about to go on you truly understand
but you wont go thru it alone ill always have your hand
so they get inside and wait in the waiting area nervous but tryin to lay back
derrick steps out the back and cant believe the people he's lookin at
he walks over slowly not knowing what their gonna do
shawn looking at tony like he crazy sayin he almost killed you
why are we coming to see him? answer my question?
shawn its ok all i can do is forgive and he did the right thing when it was countin
derrick speaks up and says i didnt mean to do it
but i've been stuck here for a while now and now i dont give a shit
my life is worthless, ill NEVER have a family
you dont know my past, and all i ever wanted in this world was a family
i know now i was wrong but the wrong peeps were family to me but my heart is stone now nothing will break thru it
tony cut him off sayin he knows we dont have to go thru it
jus know that i forgive you but really this isnt about you and me
this is about you and shawn and all your similarities
they both look puzzled at tony derrick yells out what the hell
shawn lookin at tony like he crazy begging tony to tell what he has to tell
tony tries his best to paint the picture a lil clearer doin all he can do
i had found out about some infomation when i was tryin to find you
now im sorry but i found out that both your parents died a long time ago
derrick had given up tryin to find his family, but shawn still wanted to know
so they both are still like why did we have to be together for this?
tony looked at derrick and asked if you wanna know what family can be?
derrick getting fed up thinking tony is jus giving him pity
derrick says o let me guess this is where you reach out to me
tell me what i can be, and about how you will be my family
sorry but you aint blood, you dont mean shit to me
you were a hero you saved the kid but you'll get nothing from me im sorry
derrick tries to leave but tony grabs his arm and says wait
you dont understand listen to the words i say
im asking if you wanna know what family can do
the same blood that flows thru shawn flows thru you
shawn meet derrick, derrick meet shawn your brother, believe me its true
i saved your brother's life now you owe me, change your life do all u can do
derrick and shawn both shocked how could somethin so unfortunate
lead to a life lesson and something so fortunante
tony tells shawn about how he said its important to forgive
he wants him to forgive derrick and a chance is what he wants him to give
derrick falls to his knees and begs for forgivness
to somebody he didnt know was family but the words spoken are realness
shawn looks to tony and looks at derrick while he still on bended knees
he says i forgive you we both wanted family and now we furfilled those needs
ill try to get to know you give you a chance so i can have 2 brothers you and tony
derrick cries his eyes out cuz now the person he almost killed is his family
and if it wasnt for tony this would have never been reality
we now all have family things arent in ruin
tony says to always remember this day cuz this was the family reunion

***Final chorus***
this world has to have a silver lining
that im jus having a very hard time finding
this world cant jus be pain and grief
on these streets with peeps that are just life thieves
this world is hella crazy things you thought you'd never see
jus remember that the bad seeds jus like everyone else have they own story
