Cause I would lead a 1000 squared troops

into war over you

cause I would teach a class telling our

story just to get through

to a generation tryna be realer than the

next

tryna get bodied and buried as if street

cred cashed life insurance checks

as if the burden laid on moms wasn’t

heavier than that casket

I keep asking

Can someone tell me why I buried another

son?

you see I poured into him from my empty

cup

cause my glass was passed as if the cracks
glistening were silver and I had enough

luck

thought I cried enough tears
