THIS IS A POEM ABOUT THE GRIND,AND IT IS ALL TRUE AS SEEN THROUGH MY MIND..A FATHER FIGHTS TO KEEP HIS FAMILY TOGETHER, WORKING AND HUSTLING THESE MEAN STREETS NO MATTER THE WEATHER.. JUST TRYING TO TO MAKE ENDS MEET, TO HELP HIS FAMILY HE MUST WORK THE STREET.. FROM EARLY MORNING TO LATE AT NIGHT, HE CAN'T MISS A SINGLE TRICK OR HYPE HE HAS TO BE SMART AND CLEVER, BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE CAN'T DO THIS FOREVER.. THEN HE IS BLESSED WITH A BOY CHILD, AND HE KNOWS THAT HIS SON BELONGS IN NO COPS FILE..SO HE LEAVES THE BLOCK HE WORKED FOR SO LONG, AND NOW TO HIS FAMILY HE RUSHES HOME..HE NOW WORKS AT A CAR WASH FROM SUN UP TO SUN DOWN, NOT MUCH MONEY BUT HE JUST CAN LET THE FAMILY DOWN.. SO HE WORKS TWO JOBS AND SOMETIMES THREE, AND THIS SON HE LOVES SO MUCH HE CAN BARELY GET TO SEE.. HE IS ALWAYS AT WORK TO GIVE HIS SON A BETTER LIFE, NOT REALIZING HE IS REALLY CAUSING EVEN MORE STRESS AND STRIFE.. TIME GOES ON AND THIS FATHER WORKS MORE AND MORE, AND HE DOES NOT REALIZE WHAT THE FAMIY HAS IN STORE.. HE NEVER SEE'S HIS SON REACHING OUT TO A DEALER FOR FATHERLY LOVE, THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN HIS FATHER SAW IN A VISION FROM ABOVE.. NOT THE SON HAS A NEW FAMILY OR CREW AS IT WAS, AND FROM THEM HE RECEIVES HIS FAMILY LOVE.. NOW HE IS A STREET SOLDIER JUST LIKE HIS DAD USED TO BE, AND HE RUN HIS BLOCK FLEXING FOR ALL TO SEE..FLIPING BIRDS TWO AND THREE A DAY, AND HE SAY'S I AM NOT LIKE MY DAD NO WAY.. HE RUNS HIS TURF WITH AND IRON HAND, AINT NO WAY HE WILL END UP LIKE HIS OLD MAN.. HE WAS A STREET SOLDIER AS TRUE AS CAN BE, HE COULD BE YOU OR HE COULD BE ME.. THEN ONE DAY ON HIS BLOCK SHOT'S RANG OUT, AND HIS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND BEGAN TO SCREAM AND SHOUT, AND THERE COMES HIS FATHER FROM WORK WHO STOPS TO SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT.. AND THERE ON THE PAVEMENT HIS SON LIES GASPING HIS LAST BREATH, AND THE FATHER CRIES OUT IN TERRIBLE PAIN, HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN I BOUGHT YOU EVERYTHING, AND THE SON REPLIES WITH HIS LAST BREATH, I NEVER HAD YOUR TIME AND NOW I HAVE NONE LEFT..
THIS IS JUST A STORY OR IS IT NEWS, I CAN TELL BY YOUR LOOK YOU ARE ALL CONFUSED.. WELL IF YOU SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND KIDS, THIS IS A SAD STORY THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO LIVE!!!!
