A Gangster Life ~
............Lead -Never -Follow...........

A story I wrote when I was just 8years old and in elementary school, I submitted my poem into a content with my teacher and won...The next day my teacher asked if I would read it at the convention... Of course, I was sooo beyond happy!!"

Don't throw your 12 to 15 year olds lifes away..For kids that most likely won't be in your future, let alone your tomorrows.....

Red and Blue are the colors they use...13 && 14 are the numbers they think are the best...tacted across their faces and chest.....What a life they lead, wondering everyday if your going to get shot in the head and killed, blown away...Bleeding out on the very streets, who youuu swore to protect and give your last breath........Playing this game, now you get to see, we don't just play when it comes to flying bullets and caskets ever week....Going down the corner street to the store and never coming home..... That happens on the regular G...For a dumb color or side...shhhh you better put that pride aside..&& be down to ride.....Cuz beef is giving out on the daily....They serve it frehly and love to carry it threw....Making promblems with everyone....You best believe me && trust this ~ all that we cool homie stuff is going to turn around when he's mad at one of us....and that d sth warrant sent out for you to.......That's just the rules.....We homies but quick to be enemies to..... Drinking and drugs all that messes with you and you never have a real grip on reality.....
So tonight your laying down and dying over some pride and kids you hung out with since middle school..... Wow you really are in a drugged, hazzed mind....Your about to die.... along with those guys.....&& those very same peeps when you were locked up, no one remembered who you even was..... Or did youuu forget that young thug??" They didn't give a care.... Now in this field your willing to lay down and die.....For red or blue....&& a life of such foolishness and petty crime.....In all reality (((REAL LIFE)) You wanna know something!!" Your mom is at home devastated because she's been the one who's been driving 4hours just bone way to visit you every Saturday!!!" ~without fail on top of that, even tho she's exhausted from work because they been working back to back.....But no rest does she take on the weekends, SHE drives 8hours...to visit you for 1hour... The only one who wrote && took your calls....When you physically weren't here anymore, she never made sure you straight...and were alright........ Prayers she cried....well.....Your homies were quick to forget you even existed........Never checking up on you's or yours..&& see if they were straight..... But your mom.....That lady right there!!" ....She made sure.... YOU we're all she ever thought of ...Tears upon tears, chest aches and sooo many fears she carried...crying at work and then sobbing at home.... Well Screams she let out on the way to and from work.....She still carried sooo much sadness and missing you, whimpers would fill it at night..........AND it is as your mom with a 2 ((14)) hour shift.... walould hit the bed exhausted and fall right to sleep....But crying and prayers filled her free hours.....She had to still pray for you for an hour........
Well you were locked up, you weren't in there alone.............

............................................................
Never forget who has your back during the tough times && unexpected ones to.............................

There the ones who always will be behind you in times of need...In the Days that are dark, they got you and will guide you with a light && you'll realize one day that you always had it!!!!". When your in the streets you think your homies are all you need......to be 12 && 13 years old and go out with a group of kids, Shooting at eachother is absurd..&& years later they still locked up for the mistakes they choose to do ............But as it turns out, most of them end up being just associates.... and there not the ones who are going to be at the end of your story......That part they don't make it til it's to late.......But you'll be thankful for the ones who were tough on you at tough && hard times, who guide you threw the most of tragic events of your life......
