Everything has a contradiction nowadays:


Freedom has restrictions.


Love has hatred.


Intelligence is dumb.


Common sense is not common.


Happiness, has no meaning anymore.


Respect. There isn't any.


Life apparently is lived once, thanks to drake.


Friends are hidden enemies.


And most of all, being yourself is too mainstream.


I miss the times where:


Freedom involved being free and not caring


Love involved loving with all heart and soul


Intelligence was a goal in life not just another name for NERD


Common sense, well, people using it


Happiness was everywhere, even in the ghetto


Respect was given and received without a second thought


Life is lived to the fullest!!!!


Friends were the reason why you went to school


And most of all, no one telling me how to do me


when i know how to do me


better than anyone else.
