Ups & Downs

The pain of when you see it slipping, and you hold on by fighting yourself to let go. It's easy to get into some shit. Just go a few days without cleaning your damage.

Never regret how you were raised.

I'm from the ghetto. It made me rich and wise. The poor learn early and lasting lessons to build their God strength. Weak men use it like a switch to beat themselves with excuses, holding rank among men who love running the trap.

She used to laugh at the dumb jokes. Now she looks at you with disgust, like you're stupid and ruined her luck with men whose best offer is lust. That means you ain't aging well. Sick as a bad mind, morals, and sex that smells like oil instead of water, ruining your desire.

Once woke you up with the bob and weave. Bodies hit the mat, soon as she wrapped you with her hands and lips. Pulling you down between welcoming hips, keeping you up to speed, and draining youth every time you drop your seed.

That pressure weighs a ton, more than the weight of a parent's bod. Stress from overtime makes you feel like regular hours and relaxing with family is a crime. When reality becomes a distraction and anger is the escape that keeps your attraction.

Up every morning, balancing morals, to see which is gonna pay more: honesty or thievery.

Truth comes with lies.

Life is a business of inches, measuring whose pain you're willing to deal with.

My advice is "Just don't pull out!
