Seen Trickin

Seen trickin'.
There is no secret..
Trickin' people are seen.
Because of the economy,
People feel that trickin'...
Is what they today must do,
To pull themselves through.
With a new definition of desperation...
Deliberate even though it demeans.

Every dime they had save for that rainy day,
Seem to have been raided...
By those masquerading,
To say they represent the coming of better days.

Trickin'.
Some just to eat.
They keep on trickin'...
With a losing battle to protect their dignities.
And no longer lost to find a reason in their minds...
How what they do others may define.

They know they no longer lick that finger lickin' chicken.
Nor dip in catsup those french fries yummy good...
To fatten rubbing thighs and lieing about those diets tried.

No longer are these tricks fixin'...
That roast that sits cooling in the kitchen.
Or that oven baked cake,
Grandma used to make.

These folks are trickin'.
Males, females, shemales and 'its'.
Trickin'...
And hustling up profits made to their benefit.
Attempting to keep that lifestyle from a slip to a slide,
Quicker than it is.
Folks don't care about who sees them trick.
Folks care more about keeping up their habits!

Seen trickin'.
There is no secret..
Trickin' people are seen.
Because of the economy,
People feel that trickin'...
Is what they today must do,
To pull themselves through.
With a new definition of desperation...
Deliberate even though it demeans.

Seen trickin' although it sickens them!

Humble Neighborhoods

We don't wanna go home
We're bad people and we do bad things
Verse 1
Here we go, don't ya know
We're the ones that keep it wicked
Rock n' Roll, all good, mix it up
That's my ticket
Cruisin' in my Cadillac Escalade trickin'
Sometimes like it easy, sometimes
Like it rugged
Keep control, don't ya know
Hit the floor, run for cover
Flew around the world about fifty times cover
From New York to LA to the white cliffs of
Dover, the road can be my enemy
The road can be my lover
Chorus
From the humble neighborhoods
We're takin' over the dance floor
From the humble neighborhoods
We're gettin' out of control
Verse 2
Here we go, don't ya know
We're the ones that make it crazy
This ain't time to get lazy
Meetin' at 11 in the hotel lobby
Same faces, different places
Never knowin' where we going now
Someday I'm gonna die but it
Won't be from boredom
If you've got the skills the I suggest
That you throw down
Meet us at the spot 'cause it's
Gonna be a showdown
Naw, you can't ride the bus
Man you better cool down
Chorus
Verses 1 & 2
Chorus (Out)

[1st Rap]
Peter gunz you know that cat with the rolex
from the BX pushin the GS Lex yes
playas still all him Lex

any borough in the montero
headed to Queens on the triboro

do my duty on the booty
and only you see me

with Tyrese and the cd

You make me happy
and I know that it's true
there's somthin bout the things you do
takes all my cares away
makes me sacrifice
everything I want in life

you could never ever find another
lover who could love you like
I could
and you would never ever need another
if you let me love you

[Chorus]
Do you need what I need
someone who's true
no time or denying what I feel for you
so let's keep it real
like the way you make me feel
don't make no mistakes girl
I'll be there for you

I tried to stop my feelings
but I cant get enough
girl I crave for your love
don't stop this fantasy
let me know that you can be with me
please relieve this agony

you could never ever find another
lover who could love you like
I could
and you would never ever need another
if you let me love you

Do you need what I need
someone who's true
no time or denying what I feel for you
so let's keep it real
like the way you make me feel
don't make no mistakes girl
I'll be there for you
Do you need what I need
someone who's true
no time or denying what I feel for you
so let's keep it real
like the way you make me feel
don't make no mistakes girl
I'll be there for you

[2nd Rap]
Now you can find me on the red eye to LA

tell that cat beat it
honey rolls with Peter

ballin with playas on the West got me trippin
in the Fox hill mall trickin
my dogs think I'm flippin

Do you need what I need

no time or denying what I feel for you
so let's keep it real

don't make no mistakes girl
I'll be there for you
Do you need what I need

no time or denying what I feel for you
so let's keep it real
like the way you make me feel
don't make no mistakes girl
I'll be there for you

200 Years

...the emperor wears no clothers
The emperor wears no clothers
The emperor wears no clothers
He dont like none of those
200 years in which I spit
Thats too many years in babylon
So you know were leavin it
200 years in which I spit
Thats too many years in babylon
So you know were leaving it
G. love
Whats going on
Little sister born in 1976
A bicentennial of 200 years
On which I spit
Look how youre living first world
Look what you did to third world
So many rhymes in flame, so many bodies slain
Stories washed in the red stain
Bring our boys back home
God bless our troops
Who execute their orders
Their living breathin gorders
Somebodys sons
Somebodys daughters
Bodies thrown in the garbage chutes
Youre lying sweat behind those suits
American casualties 16
Thats 16 concrete sweet dreams
What about the 4000 buried in 16 graves
That the bulldozer made
The presidaent gave
Didnt reach the middle
Before they reached the last page
Their mothers crying
Torn, enraged
They didnt know oall of the statistics
Information unclear
And the truth never reached it
Enemy resistance gone cause we breached it
Evidence gone white cause we bleached it
200 years in which I spit
Thats too many years in babylon
So you know were leaving it
200 years in which I spit
Thats too many years in babylon
So you know were leaving it
Smiles
Let us puff today
Stay true I way
The golden bonfire
No burn the soul body
Wont walk through the secret entrance
Nor I stroll down the streets of gold
Live and breathe with one guide
One mind and one home
Come on people lets realize
All the families must be unified
Come on people lets realize
Babylon trickin with dem foolish lies
Come on people lets realize
All the families must be unified
Never will we cower
Never will we hide
Now were steppin out of babylon
And we wavin good bye

And this is for the questions that dont have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The gander freaks, cars packed with speakers
The gs with the forties and the chicks with beepers
The northern lights and the southern comfort
And it dont even matter if the veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And my heros in the methodone clinic
All you bastards in the irs
For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
For the shots of jack and the caps of meth
Half pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all trickin out in hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
I said its all good and its all in fun
So get in the pit and try to love someone
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (4x)
For the timebombs ticking and the heads they hang
All the gangs getting money and the heads that bang bang
Wild mustangs, the porno flicks
All my homies in the county in cell block six
The grits when there aint enough eggs to cook
And for db cooper and money he took
You can look for answers but that aint fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (4x)
For the love, and for the hate
And for the peace
Waaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

Ma Be Easy

Uh, uh, yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[verse 1]
Yo, I aint got no reason to trick or spend
Mami, Im the reason the chicks begin cheesein and snickerin
Playa like me? every season these chicks have been
Talkin how I came through the ps in a sicker benz
Heard about the platinum visas the bricker bends
Jewels so icey I need freezers to sitck em in
I bes in the keys wit a click of friends
Trees and a liquor blend, I be too queezy and sick to grin
I dont care if a skeezer is thick or thin
Its gon look like she havin a seizure I stick it in
Skeos say can I get the keys to ya six again?
After I nut, thats when amnesia be kickin in
Most broads I done met, aint see a guy
Who spend a g on gucci ts, five for sweats
Im what chicks strive to get, I stay in the p.js
You thinkin (? ) Im talkin pivate jets, uh
[chorus]
I need the cash in my palm, the ice in my charm - ma be easy
(watch it, please)
Wanna lean to the side while I cruise in your ride - ma be easy
(put down that cheese)
Gotta have a broad wantin and let me hold somethin - ma be easy
(you get nothin from me)
You get nothin!
[verse 2]
So the kid never stresses a female
And if you ask where I live they gon give you
Addresses to e-mail
All that cops can suggest is that he sell
How Im gon push it unless its a v-12
From ss to cls, I request is (? )
In the head rests his t.vs dwell
They heard how many albums I presses for retail
And they cant get a dime unless its a weed sale
And lets be real, catch me at the bar wit them crispy bills
Gettin cris re-fills, my wrist be chilled
And my wardrobe look like I got an ice berg history deal
Still dames have been givin me slow neck
And I dont even know what they real names have been
I feel ashamed to spend, cause when it comes to knockin em down
Im right behind wilt chamberlin
[chorus]
Ma you musta had too many weed totes
cause I aint givin you any weed totes
Im all about floatin on them new skinny speed boats
Hundred and somthin wit two skinny deep throats
Winter hit, Im in a new finny ski coats
See the screens? aint gotta use any remotes
No more shoppin sprees Im rough wit the ends
Keep honeys on their knees, scuffin they shins
I deal wit nothin but tens
I be the club king wit diamonds shuffling your friends
Chickens get keys, scuffin the benz
Cause they wanna lock me down like Im puff in the pens
Snatch any chink blond who feel my link longview
(one try) I aint tryin to put clinks on you
Hope trickin ainn one of the things you think john do
Cause thats the way you end up wit a drink on you mami

But your heartll melt if I put a thousand in your garder belt
Lipgloss traces your pierced in 11 places
And your lips down town just made some familiar faces like WOAH!
[Hook (x2)]
Imma send a chapter to this ~ poppin legacy

When I pop that cris im on that buisnes and bubbly
When im in that 6 wit 20s spinin on luxury
Cuz I got that head game

Reached in my pocket grabbed a G and then threw it on the floe

Shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she makes those trophy buckles shine, shine, shine
Wild-eyed and mexican silvered
Trickin dumb ol cousin willard
Into thinkin that hes got her this time
Hill country holky tonkin rita ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin barrel ridin rita ballou
Aint a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you

Walkin talkin texas texture
High timin barroom fixture kind of a girl
Shes the queen of the cowboys

Is This Our Life?

Now a day we judge by faces
What people do in certain places
About some people we see and complain
Even tough we see the face but know not the name

Some police turn corrupt
High morale girl turned into a slut
People would now rather tell a lie
Then tell the truth which makes me sigh

The good gentleman is now a myth
Watch the average man you’ll get my drift
And the perfect lady is also gone
With now skirts short rather than dress’s long

People no longer care about others worldwide
And if they do then Ive just lied
But they no longer care what happens
As long as they can eat and there stomachs fatten

And it also makes me feel disgust
That now so many people feel petty lust
And if you’re reading this and thinking god that’s me
I’m just glad that now you see

[dmx]
I know that my savior lives
And at the end, he will stand on this earth
My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see god
Yes, I will see him for myself - and I long for that moment
Grandma, I really miss you and it aint been the same
I drop a tear when i, hear yo name
Mariella holloway, why you gotta be so far away?
Used to say, dont worry, its gon be okay
But it aint - its like when you left, you took the lord witchu
Why couldnt I come when he came to get you?
Damn I really miss you - I had to say it again
I remember the time when I was like ten
Crept up in the neighbors yard, yeah, bein hard headed
You told me I would get it - you said it!
And boy did I get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me
Kissed me on my forehead, told me that you love me
And I saw, that it hurt you, more than it hurt me
I thought - how bad could this hurt be? I know now
Thats why its only done out of love
What I wouldnt give for one mo hug, from grandma
[chorus: faith evans]
Baby its gon be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby its gon be okay (I really miss hearin)
Baby its gon be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby its gon be okay (I really miss hearin)
[dmx]
What Im about to say a couple of family members is gon hate me
But ima let you know whats been goin on lately
Now you know since you left, a lot of things witcho kids done changed
Yeah jackies still crazy, dont know whats up with james
Aint seen jerry in a while, you know he walk like you
And renees back in jail, you know she talk like you
Riculahs(? ) doin real good now, she workin
Rhondas still runnin around, trickin, jerkin
Buckeyes buggin, he done lost his mind
And jarvis? back out of jail, doin fine
Kylie? he done changed, it aint all about self
As for my father.. well, thats somethin else
But thats my dog, he hold his grandmother down
My great grandmother, makin a lot of trips out of town
But thats a good thing, and if I could only hear you sing
Once more, oh lord, the comfort it would bring
[chorus]
[dmx]
You left behind a mother (and) eleven kids (and) eleven grandkids
And since then, two of yo grandkids done had kids
They had a boy named tacoma, xaviers brother, thats right
Xaviers means you a great grandmother
I thank you for the best times of my life
I thank you for when you first met her, accepted and lovin my wife
I thank you for those sunday dinners, they were vital
I thank you for my - life, I thank you for the bible
I thank you for the songs that you sing in the mornin
(amazing grace..) while Im yawnin
I thank you for the two beatings you gave me
Cause I know somewhere along the line
The lesson I learned from the two beatings saved me
And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the lord to take me
Cause no one else could give me what you gave me
But life like everything comes to an end
I pray I go to heaven to see you again - amen
[chorus] - repeat 2x
[faith evans]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now Im found
Was blind, but now I see, yeahhh

Put a Sock In It

Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Today there is just too much stuff.
And people are getting fed up!

Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Today there is just too much stuff.
And people are getting fed up!

Many getting sick of the pickiness started.
And when it gets sticky they can not stop.
Instigating agitation with annoyance.
Dropping all they've got to tie a mind in knots.

Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Today there is just too much stuff.
And people are getting fed up!

Can't you see them strike poses and begin to 'cheese'.
Then plop on their knees,
To make their pleas.
These same folks cry about bad luck.
With claims their butts are stuck in ruts.

Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Today there is just too much stuff.
And people are getting fed up!

Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Folks have had enough,
And fed up!

Put a sock in it,
Maybe this will rush a hush.
Folks have had enough,
And fed up!

Folks have had enough.
Folks have had enough.
Folks have had enough.
And fed up!

The Price We Pay

(08/21/11)

The days are getting longer and
the nights are getting shorter.
The economy is scaring
And the tempers are flaring.

So many people struggling to survive
And many on the unemployment line.
Military people are losing their rights
And still expected to stand and fight.

Social security checks are getting smaller
And the welfare lines are getting longer.
Yet we still throw millions of pounds of food away
And millions are starving every day.

People are crossing our borders every day
Looking for jobs with a bit more pay.
You no longer have to wonder
Why banks are going under.
The world is going through the same things as us
But in GOD we must put our trust.
If those words are imprinted on our currency
Then in that you must believe.

If we could only go back to the past
Where we could afford a gallon of gas.
Where jobs offered retirement benefits
And health care too, and we didn’t have
To worry as to what to do.
We all know that life never stays the same
And we all must go through these aches and pains.

Is this the price that we must pay
So the politicians can get their way?

Talkin greasy player, know you can feel me player
Uhh... you put it down tight
Yeah you not havin what you want dont even sound right
[Chorus: Timbaland]
Hey lady! I'm gonna hit you with a wine Mercedes
Somebody's gotta work with the mouth my baby
All you do is rub my back
Rub my back! Rub my back! Rub my back! Rub my back!
I said MY baby
Watch television is the Escalade-y
Go shoppin when you want to baby
All you do is rub my back
Rub my back! Rub my back! Rub my back! Rub my back! Ohh!
[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
Lay down for a while preety, relax a minute
... I caught a feelin when you represented
Gave you that Mercedes, you better get up in it
... Get off the corner, come to pop some vintage
You never seen a player flip your whole life
Dip the Caddy on the freeway, hittin the strobe light
... You got a mean walk at times right?
Im here to shine like, I get your mind right
Uhh, Charles Jordan girl if you wanna take a hit
Gotta? between the lippers this is it
... Lazy, lay back and court the chips
Some call it trickin or ballin, depends on who you wit
Him or L baby, so who you gonna pick
Mack motor, I told ya, I want ya livin rich
You don't know about a brother
Blow around a brother, money flow around a brother
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: LL Cool J]
Dont trip I know you like the rocks
Wanna dip round the corner in the drop
Music bumpin you frontin although you say you're not
... You got your eyes on the watch
You love the Pasha, the ?, the Cartier is hot
... Baby you need somethin, shop
You got me trippin and goin bananas, baby stop
I caught a mean one, you never seen one
She like cream, how brothers gonna front on me?
Spoilin somethin the average homey never see
I mean its only some money, nuttin to me
... But yet and still you question me
I got is that's if you want it or ima set you free
... Got em in line they beggin me
Baby regardless your body is killin me
Girl Im lovin your anatomy
Your personality, so whatcha want from me?
[Chorus]

Flap Your Wings

Drop down and get your eagle on, girl (flap your wings)
Drop down and get your eagle on, girl (flap your wings)
Hell naw, ain't leavin' me alone, girl (flap your wings)
Drop down and get your eagle on, girl (flap your wings)
Drop down and get your eagle on, girl (flap your wings)
Drop down and get your eagle on, girl (flap your wings)
Hell naw, ain't leavin' me alone, girl (flap your wings)
Drop down and get your eagle on, girl
She's got that sweat drippin' all over her body
[Girl] Do you like that sweat drippin' all over my body?
Yea, I like that
That sweat drippin' all over your body
[Girl] You like that sweat drippin' all over my body
[Nelly]
It's summertime, and I'm back again
And went to VA, oh, got my friends
Say what's up, Pharrell
[Pharrell] Look whats on the nail
Yeah but, let's show 'em what's above the nail, Bling
A hundred thou couldn't get you one of these (Not one of these)
I guarantee it ain't a flaw on one of these (One of these)
Two hundred thou, couldn't get you in the league
Get three hundred thou, you couldn't even buy the keys
I think you need to add 50 more G's
Now, shall I proceed?
[Ladies] Yes, indeed (Ho)
I need to see you take it down to the floor
Spread your wings, if you real, ma, fly real low
Pause for a second ma, grind real slow
And if you do it right
All day we'll go (Ho)
I talk a lil' Fred Seigal girl (Seigal, girl)
Bonnie and Judy Lee with your bag all beaded, girl
Apple bottom pair underneath it
You talkin' like you don't need it
I can tell you see it
I like that in you
I don't see nothin wrong
Drop down and get your eagle on (Whoa)
[Hook]
[Nelly] Now, what's next to trenscend up in this party
OPP time, now let's get naughty
You take babygirl, and I'ma take shorty
With the sweat drippin' all over her body
We gone move if you wanna (Oh)
Groove if you wanna (Oh)
Throw your nose up, ma, and get rude if you wanna
Ain't got nothin' to lose, nor to prove
Babygirl soaked like she just got out of the pool (Eh)
I know you're thirsty, ma
Go ahead and order whatchu want
Some call it trickin', go ahead and call it whatchu want
I came to ball, I ain't come out here to front
Cause the black caught the pick-up with the gray car warrant
Attractiveness
Got me attackin' this
I'm so fabulous
Glutious maximus
She wanna fly south for the winter (For the winter)
I might just go down south just to win her (Just to win her)
Hell naw, she ain't gone leave me alone
Makin' plans for us to be at home
Take your pants off, ma, you can leave your panties on
But, first drop down and get your eagle on (Oh)
[Hook]
[Nelly]
From the girls with skinny waists to girls heavy set
Come on
Flap your wings
Come on
Flap your wings
To the girls with extensions to the girls with dreads
Come on
Flap your wings
Come on
Flap your wings
From the girls got it good livin' in the suburbs
Come on
Flap your wings
Come on
Flap your wings
To the ones in the ghetto with their hands on their curves
Come on
Flap your wings
Come on
Flap your wings
[Hook]

Folks Are Just Folks!

black folks just like white folks,
gotta eat, sleep, need somewhere
to stay, need a job...

just want to be treated like people,
equal in every way....

and my Hispanic neighbors,
hard working, working together,
(we could learn from that!)

taking care of families...
human beings with human needs,
just like us....

Asians, Native Americans...
all just the same....
all of us just people....

want to be treated that way!
folks are just folks!

Giving Up

I feel like i'm broken
I feel like i'm rotting at my core
I feel like my soul has fled from my body
I feel like i'm useless
I feel like a codependent whore
I feel like I have nothing left to give
I feel like you dont want me anymore
I feel like I have been thrown away
I feel like an abandoned child thrown out on the streets

Why do they have to lie to me
Why do they try to control me
Why do they try to tell me who I am

They don't know me
They don't own me
This shit has got to stop

I feel like I have done something terribly wrong
I feel like no one should have to deal with me
I feel like you shouldn't care for me anymore
I feel I have done more damage then a wreaking ball

I am a danger to myself
I am codependent
I am selfish
I am dishonest
I am no longer to be trusted
I am not me anymore

I have no more to offer
I have nothing left to give
I have no joyful soul that you use to know

I can no longer smile
I can no longer laugh
I can no longer entertain you
I can no longer be of any help

I have given up on life
I have given up on people
I have given up on relationships
I have given up on you

There is no longer a reason for me to love or be loved
For I feel you have given up on me
Therefore there isn't a reason for living
Usless youre dying for me

If You Want to Keep Your Peace Secured

I've been in one spot for twenty one years.
Mended from several heartbreaks.
And dried my own tears.
I know I've lost my mind...
At least a few times or more.
And the few people I knew had little to say.
Or bothered to knock on my opened door.

And today! TODAY...I get visitors.
Who claim to be my friends.
But I also know this much too well...
Folks only come around,
When they are near a dead end...
With no money to spend!
So I sat listening to 'them' ask...
'How have you been? '
And when I said I was doing great...
I was given from them big fake grins!
And I offered to them my hand and said...
'I'm so glad ya'll came by!
I need a loaf of bread.'

They quickly got up and left!
And that is how I have managed,
To keep my peace of mind.
Especially in a place...
Like this hometown of mine!

I can't wait for that fresh gossip,
To go around a few times!
And...
If you,
Any of you
Want to keep your peace secured...
Tell folks you ain't got a dime!
That will do it!

Unless...
You just happen to be cooking,
Collard greens with fried chicken wings.
Potato salad and yams,
WITH ice tea?
Unexpectedly?
You 'then' have folks,
You can't get rid of fast enough!

Lost In A Lost World

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes its nation, against nation, against nation
With racial pride
Sounds...
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light
(shun the light)
They think theyre right
(think theyre right)
Living in their empty shells
Oh, can you see their bodies thrashing
(so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet
Angry people in the street
Telling them theyve had their fill
Of politics, people who kill
Grow... the seed of evolution
(so many people, so many people)
Revolution everyone
Its just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
Let all our brothers come and get some
(so many people, so many people)
Everywhere you go you see them searching
Everywhere you turn you feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
Well look again, come on my friend
Love will find us in the end
Come on my friend
(on my friend)
Weve got to bend
(got to bend)
Down on our knees and say a prayer
Oh, can you see the world is pining
(so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
With all of us so we can be
An ever loving family
Have we forgotten who loves who
(so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree
Thats longer than a centipede
Started long ago when you and i
Where only love....
(so many people, so many people)
I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world

Existing to Please

No longer do I make myself assessible to folks.

I'd find myself rearranging my priorities,
At the dropp of a hat.
Wanting some folks to know,
They were special to me.

Those days are gone.
And so are old agendas!

I've updated my own needs.
And I no longer believe...
I should find myself last,
On a list of important things to get done.

If I don't think I belong at number one...
No one will believe I deserve to be!

The relevancy of my life has been changed!
And I had to act fast and drastically.
Before I found myself just existing to please.

It's not always best,
To make things look easy for the rest.
To 'be' or 'not to be' taken for granted...
Is a choice one makes,
And should not become an expected test!
