Play your part, this is the perfect title
A well-known phrase that makes a life lesson vital
The thin line between struggle & triumph or
The reconciliation between two or more peoples' bias
Play your part, that's what people don't do
They claim they're this and that when we all know it isn't true
For instance, you say that you can "up the tool", but the last time you
Were with one of those was in Home Ec. you must think I'm a fool
Play your part, this should be our common wealth
People hide the truth to find Heaven through their Hell
They lock up they're lies and never give bail
And in the end, they end up contradicting themselves
Stupid stuff like being a gangster, and still wearing a seatbelt
If you think you're better, you need to check your make-up
Imma let you hate, while imma get my cake up
That's why I never budge to say who's real or fak(er)
Cause I ain't the one who judges, the one who judges is the Maker
Play your part

I just wanted to talk about how people claim that they're big and bad, and how they make others feel bad in the process. My moral was that one shouldn't judge others if they can't find fault within themselves.

This is beautifully written. Everyone has to endure something in their lives, but how will it impact how you treat others and how it may effect ones internal self is a question that is asked frequently. No one is perfect and that's okay. I can really sense that in your piece.
