Oppose

A Poem by pureXrawnesty
"

A message to my brother

"
Yo I lived a little fucked up but I buckled up tightened up got a job started working hard then they told a n***a lighten up,
My brotha oppose that hype Neva listen to them kids spread treason you can be the reason to a revolution,
Spread knowledge be yourself and go to college,
Because if you do nothing and just smoke spliff,
Then you'll keep falling off that cliff,
Just continuing to keep dropping never stopping,
You’re choking not breathing thinking fading failing yourself,
Not just your health but your wealth,
My n***a you can hate and be mad at the truth but in the end you'll just look like an incompetent doof,
No pains the only proof that ignorance is bliss,
how are you going to feel when your broke and the next plan how you’re going to eat is stuck in your head like a cyst,
Deep down you know them people you kick it with just snakes in the grass for the green just listen you can hear them hiss,
Reality has you depressed thinking, hoping better yet wishing death basically just waiting for that last kiss,
You’re walking around town trying to make sales for your meals looking like a stray,
Not worried about seasons because it’s hot in the month of May,
Good times go by quick and now its December cold outside and you’re huddled up with your boys trying not to look gay,
Yo Life ain't got to be that way,
Doing the right thing can have you looking forward to the next day,
Pick up a 9-5 or two jobs a 9-9 either or is better than no pay,
When you get locked up them snakes aint going to care,
Writing you they wouldn't dare,
They’re just going to leave you in there to rot,
In the end you’re all you got,
Either you can be that brotha that they are talking about saying that you left for school or the good kid in the wrong spot that either got locked up or worse... Shot.
