"We Don't Have To Worry"

[Average Whiteboy]

As I get older, success seems improbable
That's why I can be hostile and my emotions remain volitale
Why am I so unmotivated?
Why is life overrated?
These are things I ask myself on a daily basis
I look around, and see the same faces
Still in the same places
This thought embraces, my state of mind
A monotonous daily grind
Intertwined with the rest of mankind
On this cursed planet, which I roam so frequently
From the houses of luxury, to the discarded debris
You can tell, that I'm probably headed to hell
By way of either a casket or a jail cell
Everyone makes assumptions about me, but they don't even know half the story
Up late night, watching my friends throw their lifes away to blunts and 40s
Even though it's through my own eyes, I can't believe what I see
Where the fuck is my family in my times of need?
It's so heartbreaking how people leave when you need 'em the most
I feel I'm not even related to my family, 'cause we aren't even close
And those who I love have become jokes, with no hope
Strung out on all kinds of dope, and selling coke
I can't cope, my life is steadily heading downhill like it's on a slope
I don't have much to offer, but my friendship and the words I wrote
I can't cry, but I have these swollen tears in my eyes
'Cause it's sad to see everybody you love become hypnotized
And forget who they truly are, and where their loyalty lies
Despite all the pain that I've had to endure
I keep my head up, learn responsibility and try to mature
'Cause I refuse to sit back, and let life pass me by
And sit around, getting high
Asking why the good folks die
My eyes remain dry, since I can no longer cry
My descriptions are like encoded encryptions
I try to give knowledge to others like the ancient Egyptians
Times are rough, but they'll get better
And when it rains it pours, but I keep my head up despite the fact that I get wetter
'Cause one day things will be all good
I'll have peace of mind, and a spot in a new neighborhood
But until then I remain in the same place, but yet trying to help others
Despite that I've been betrayed by friends who I thought were close to me like brothers
I'll be alright, 'cause I've got some good people standing behind me
And I refuse to let the cash and material madness of the world blind me
My knowledge, I try use it
My brain hurts so I bump music to soothe it
So here I am listening to the beats on the box, I'll never stop
If you take my tunes away you might as well make my heart stop
'Cause even I don't make it to the mountain top
Fuck it, I'll still have hip-hop
Since it's the one thing that helps me remain sane
My true friends know I'm always there for help, I'm still the same, I'll never change
So we can all stand together, and hopefully we'll all make it
Oppurtunity only knocks once, so when the chance comes we must take it
I know through the course of this piece, the words were downtrodden and depressing
But negativity and sadness aren't truly the emotions I'm expressing or stressing
This is meant to inspire, and to help you gather your thoughts
I haven't really made it yet, but I've come a long way from selling dope on blocks
I know it can get hard
But you've still gotta reach for the stars
Even if you're stuck behind bars, or selling drugs on the boulevard
We can't be stopped, because the universe is ours

This statement rings true to me. When i was younger i had many dreams that now seem imp[robably. unfortunately when you grow up and loose innocence the world seems twice as heavy. things no longer work the way they use to.

this is defiently interesting. have you notice that from luxury to thye ghetto no one is truely happy with there situation? Is it a basic human condition to want to not be happy. would our happyness and complacency be the end of our world? when people are happy there would eb nothing to work for.

friendship knows nothing of currency. if alls you ahve to give is your support and a smile than that is enough. people who pretend to give these thigns and only turn there backs latter when the chips are down are not friends at all. i hate to see good people who deserve the best learn these things.

WErd on this. it will always get better. and as long as you are not completely alone than life is woprth living its worth sticking out the hard times. im glad you knwo this. i got your back.

hip hoip mentions topics that are teh extremes of the human exsperience adn if they can get through it than we all can. im glad yuou lsien to hip hop it is very cathartic.
