High Life

High Life Poem.

Let me just illustrate
A story of those who discriminate
Nothing left to imitate
Those who just assimilate
The ones that just anticipate
Originate, Reciprocate
The hate in which they indicate
People will never change
Instead they chose to arrange
All that hate, keeping us in chains
We try to get out of this mess
Get all full of stress
Away from success
A step away from depressed
Where's the progress?
There's nothing but oppression
Empty expressions
Useless regressions
Where's the world when aggression is in charge?
Where's the world when transgressions enlarge?
So let me tell you know, I don't imitate
I just simply originate
The lyrics to get you questioning your faith
Not in God, but in the world
Don't it make you want to hurl?
You get curled and twirled by a life with so many swirls
Never really knowing when to stop until you impregnate a girl
The ladies catching the guys hoping love is as precious as a pearl
Never knowing when to stop
Always hitting those Tabaco shops
Running to your famous corner spots
Wild'n out like you're flipping your bikini tops
Let's talk about getting wild, down the road it really leads
Doing shady things and other various unknowing deeds
Never really focused on what this road actually reads
Smoking all that weed
Only to conjure up the need
Making you all into little thieves
Never really seeing the munchies or fatigues
I'm spitting this rhyme for a dream I once dreamt
Different than the one M.L.K. did once present
But not too far cause we both had a dream, but my dream was to repent
And get rid of life's torment
Make positive words your only supplement
This world will never be your ally
Focused on seeing you die
Questioning your faith, leaving you to ask "Why?"
Undoubtedly getting high just to get by
It's easy just to stand by and let out one big sigh
But, before I go remember me as that good guy
Trying to get by with my own war and battle cry
So thereby, I love you too
But I don't deny this is the last goodbye I'll get from you.
