I been livin' on my own since day one/
Kept the black state of mind; a Raisin in the Sun/
Grew up, from the roots up, in Saint Louis/
Never showed my weakness, my skin color matches the bruises/
Never went home cryin--gradually I grew tough/
Never had happiness, I only had luck-
Never ment to neglect a street dove--
I just aint used to love/
Came to my senses and Realized I'm the best in what ever god's test is, when push comes to shove/
The essance of adolescents-Used to pull Smith and Wessons/
Now I press buttons instead, cause god gave me a second blessin'/
My mother cast me as a failure-an accident; Product of a broken rubber with semen on the tip/
My answer? "I'm just God's specimen with bones and flesh, miss"/
Will I make it through life? It aint no question/
Survived oppression in depression's possession-
They take us in as their own, but we broken down in digestion/

BeenThere,
This is a true story, I take it?
If it's yours....I admire you because you took adversity and turned it into verse.
I think it's damn good

billyb0y,
I appreciate it. Maybe I'll get around to finishing it some day.
