Fences

Let this be a message to my brothers and my sisters Y'all shouldn't have to try to fit in No one should feel like an outcast And no one should feel like an underdog I took the words in from my friend Reminding me I'm best at being myself And I stood with that notion And I stood with that notion 'til the end of time So let me spit some inspiration in these rhymes Low key I always felt I was always all on my own I was looked at funny The underdog on the low Always fighting a battle With prejudice at my throat Secluded in my ways To the day, I feel all alone Used to everybody else receiving all of the clout The stuff the popular people get praised for and about While I was the dude who did what the cool kids were bragging 'bout But for me I was always frowned upon without a doubt No one saw me fit to bless But always pointed me out Same way homie did my crush After taking her out Bragging 'bout how quick dukes was whipping that out And if I was popular for a moment It left me with more opponents People pretending to be homies When they left me broken When I wasn't even noticed Girls that told me that they loved me Like I was the one she'd chosen Taking my virginity For thirty minutes her moaning Leaving me with grief And a heart that had be stolen All together they were phonies Leaving me with potent omens No more important moments Just a poet hoping all of you have felt the pain I've spoken Yeah My mind has has awoken If life is just a game I guess I am "The Greatest Showman" Say you cared bout my welfare But quick to fake emotion Sought shelter in your love I take comfort in condolence Comfort in your solace But, way back when Back then Empathy was bogus These days though Cool kids are now below me Chasing after pointless fantasies These suckers now are goalless The kid done got rich And the rich are now homeless The kid done got lit And the rich are now hopeless When the gun's been fired Remember the muzzle's still smoking People are so vicious to the point Where they constantly are trolling Constantly are posing Preying on the weak minded Preying on the broken Preying on the outcasts Just to start commotion Preying on people like myself For likes and all promotions Mocking people crying out for help Just to show devotion To a brainless careless notion Wrote this as a testament For my youngins who are coping Hang in there Rafael said that life is more than golden Never judge by the cover If the book was never open 'Til you've read it though Don't let your book do any kinda closing Foreshadow for you future 'Cause life awaits foreboding Life awaits foreboding Don't let your book do any kind of closing Love's some kind of drug man Love is like a potion Love is music on my mind But love is not a Trojan Looking for acceptance But acceptance ain't a token Advocate for change Quit crying lil' homie No more feeling lonely No more feeling lonely No more feeling lonely Yeah
