***ing Tired
J.Stankin
In the middle of me praying
I asked for guidance and more love than before
In hopes of making it out of this wicked place
In the middle of me praying;
Them shots start spraying
Same street,
Or the next street over
Son going bonkers; he has no clue whats going on
All he care about is this leftover pizza sizzling in his hand
Yelling at the top of his lungs
Tryna dive for cover
Before my 1 year old is victim to black on black crime
Or the death of the next innocent black man
But he..
WONT..
STOP..
Crying.
I’m ***ing tired
Running a business
Keeping the house clean
Building a King from a Trap Queen
And working on myself
Yeah I called that a damn Trap Queen
Only Men I know;
Provide, protect, and get it by any means
I don’t know why all my young black men
Walking around skinny looking like damn dope deans
Can't you see we at war!
WAKE UP and STAY WOKE
Why yall keep dozing off for
I can't dodge a bullet with all these damn windows
& The s shootin is the ones with the nappy fro’s
My own people…
So I just stand still
Asking the lord to continue to provide every meal
Praying that my sleep is interrupted
And Oprah wanna sign me a 4.5Million deal
Cause I'm ***ing Tired
I don’t know what else to do
Besides opening my mouth to say THANK YOU
To top it all off…
I lost a brother today
This blunt nor drank can make me less sorrowful
His heart attached to mine
His words attached to my brain
His spirit lifts me
He kicks it with me every hour
In a hood where he aint supposed to be
But..He still here
No man, did my brotha fear
He was all in
A Go is a Go
“Bro I wanna kill this .”
He responded,
“Sis just let me know.”
I ride for you even after you're gone.
Just don't forget me
And continue on singing them songs
I probably won't be at ya funeral cause that’ll be too many heads
Just a constant reminder of how my baby boy is;
dead…
I wanna remember you like I left you
Full of life
. In efforts to make Miley Cyrus ya wife;
All jokes aside
Just let me dome this one
But I’ll let you hit it
Ima need every french inhale this motha ***a gone allow me
Either that or just put me in the tub and drown me
Brotha I just ask that you be with me daily
Cause all these brokes just wanna come up or play me
I’m already set back by giving a premature king a baby
Keep us in your arms and fly me out the hood
Cause my brotha…
Can I tell you something
I’m ***ing tired.
Just.Like.You.
Stankin.
