in construction

There's a difference between Harlem and Highland Street
But u didn't it want there to be
You see the serpentine nature of the hoods evils softened by a sick hook seemed to seize ur mind like a beautiful lullaby
them BET hipoperas never spoke of the 'Days of Our Lives' so u wanted to live another
u wanted to embody those contaminated constructions of what a man is.. and tho the suit didn't fit
u thought u'd be better suited to try it on and parouse the streets where insanity dwells and fools meet
They say misery needs company brotha
But its a mystery why u wanted to accompany them brothas
And I hesitate to even call them that. cuz their disregard for human life and affinity for death makes me want to believe what runs through our veins isnt the same blood.
Years later, sad u didn't make it thru
out the struggle,no you really outdid yourself, made the simplicity of your life a maze in your mind and headed conscious-less to the jungle
My vision is 20-20 in hind sight, but yours had always been tunnel,
u set your eyes on emptiness that the devil disguised as material wealth
made u think u were a blackstar hence you forgot your knowledge of self.
Shoulda known from them days on the court u could never break thru a trap
just didn't think u would make so many missteps
Traveling but in the wrong direction
Ballin but in the wrong profession
Now embellishin those bars has u behind bars
