all of us are good at something
we have talents possessed inside that is gifted
it's a way out of a hazardous environment that needs to be uplifted
trying to please others that often gets shifted
leads to crimes like stealing your grandmother's pearls in which she felt shoplifted
don't be a fool
listen to those that genuinely want you to succeed, they will give you necessary tool
like a bonton, take it, run with it, and go all the way to the finish line
everything you earn allows you to say "this is all mine"
don't be afraid to show off your talent even if it's early as nine
kids that age don't even know how to read
it's a shame, by the time they're 13, fights will happen in which all they do is bleed
definitely not a good deed
need to plant your seed
so you grow and blossom more beautifully than dead flowers on the block
this is why people attempt to make fun of you and mock
that's all good, same ones who laughed at you are crying in a cell call d-block
be strong like a rock
gain strength in the long run that will endure hardships like the wrestler known as the rock
jealousy ignites that engine in your soul in challenging you to be even greater
when it's all set in done, give the two fingers of peace and say later
worse thing in the world is wasted talent
can have all the talent, but if you don't do the right thing, then nothing happens
