“Will It Ever Be Enough”

Will it ever be enough?

Been through hell and back, just to get to where I am, and so I ask, will it ever be enough?

I have been: Doped out, slanged out, rapped out, and poor…

But I have never been more shackled by any force, than my own mind and what I have believed was possible.

Will it ever be enough?…

Not enough to survive Man, I am in this to live

Grew up from these streets I am not just one of these kids

getting by , on the grind, barely makin ends, 9 to 5, skirtin by…. is not for me

Running rounds, pounding ground, feelin down, a victim who, blames… society

Sooner, than later / That piper comes to get paid

Knockin down doors, takin names, making bullets rain, stress’n’pain, & greed

Consequences / heavy

The cost, the life of men / petty

The debt, a life spent / maybe

But, death a definite / levy

When, I play my luck on the dice / Thrice

the cock crows on the price / Vice,

knot in the dope, & cries / Why’s

heaven empty in the skies / Lies,

When we’re, hanging from the same noose / Can’t let the thang loose / Bang from a crew, what!!?

Cuz, we’ll end in a cell / Be Claimin it’s Hell but, will it ever be enough!!?

Will it ever be enough…

Will it ever be enough…

Not / packed in the back, missin the facts, wrapped in the tracks and passin the cash

Forgotten to ask, why wearin a mask, hidin from the brass, ya cats on the dash

Not holdin a flag, packin a mag, back to the dealer, got him packin a bag

Sparkin to Blaze, lost in a haze, more than a phase, when ya trapped in a maze

When the Rivals have a Bachelors, degree and yes their Master’s

Fractal Banking wizards, cashing in on us—Huh?

So, yes we need that paper, but heed not to the vapor

Diplomas what we have to get, to save us

will it ever be enough…

will it ever be enough…
