Y

Rain “QuietStormPoet” Cooper

Where I’m from corner stores have bullet proof windows and gated doors,
No need for potency here, you can catch a contact off of the gunpowder.

So ...You live by the gun you and die by the gun.
But I don’t think that they understand
their loyalty reciprocates in bullets.

They grasp weapons as easy to hold hands.
To my generation I ask Y? Why do we rather death by man?
I mean but then again who dies of natural causes these days?

Everyday a soilder is lost on corners.
Blocks breaking borders.
Ambitious ghetto dreams, teens scream
but it’s by any means as long as it’s about that cream.

So in their mind its “F*!#k a 9 to 5” dream and achieve this american scheme.

Know it ain’t easy and it’s cracked up to be exactly what it seems.
Reality is your perception.
Can you beat the steam from that heat?

Oh the american scheme.

OOoopps
I meant the american dream...

It’s so sad to see the ones that fell. The ones who dwell.
The ones who cant tell life’s bigger than buffalo.
I guess the snow makes us too cold. Forever juggin’ like them city hoes. our hearts are cast of stone. No... no one across the globe knows these souls

Occupying your mind. The truth you’ll never find.
Nobody Knows
Nobody Knows
