Page 51 - When I was Young ebook
P. 51
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
