My Best Dude!!!

O.G. Tone

I told my best dude 

There is know fuckin Hood that can

Restrain me from growing beyond a certain point 

Case in point

I have no family  I have nothing 

I learned everything I know the hard way

I lived under a freeway 

I heard cars passing over me head 24/7

I barely slept at all

But I made it through the the hardest part

Some days I wished I was dead

But I thank God today that I am still alive

Regardless of the pain  Inflicted

I still have a nice life

I use to live under the freeway I said 

Know fuckin hood could ever hold me down

Instead I chose to use my head

I thought outside the hood was dead

But I realized what I had just said

My dude can't nothing or nobody

Hold me back

I will come back to the hood

But it will be me passing by inside 

Thank you for asking how I am doing 

All I can say is I am good my dude

    A sad poem of having nothing but become hopeful. Nicely done.
