Eyes Outside the Projects

As I take a look around me everything is black and blue. I just lost another homie now I don't know what to do.

Life's always been a gamble but now our boys are dying off. How long before they start changing or til they say it's enough? 

It ain't never easy being caught up in this life. They think we do it for fun or for the amount of rush and hype. 

We do it cause it's a lifestyle for some it's all they know. You either barley make it out alive or you don't make it out at all. 

The boys are from the projects better known as the ghetto. But people on the outside call it the hood cause they don't know. 

The hood isn't a place it's a label to society. Like when you see and African American you give him the word "black" as form of his identity. 

People call it as they see it I guess they quick to judge. But what happened to the thought of "world peace" man? Where's the love? 

The gap between high and low class is growing rapidly. Soon before you know it they'll be no middle class minority. 

Back to what I was saying, this world is going down. It's not even safe to walk alone in broad daylight in your own fucking town. 

How sad is that bullshit. You ain't even safe at home. People are getting driven out by these misplaced labels because they didn't know where it goes. 

Society places labels on things that aren't fit in their community. They lied and called the hood a monster so now people fear cluelessly. 

Those living in the projects are not monsters at all. They just aren't fit to code with the society so now everyone living there takes the fall.

How could someone label a group of people based upon the money that they make? The last time I checked it was the rich people who put out the checks that were fake. 

That's none of my business but this world is so corrupt. The rich keep getting richer it's like what they got ain't ever enough.

When the rich keep getting richer you already know the other half. The poor be getting poorer and struggling to make their money last. 

This world is getting ugly. It was almost to bad to be true. What made it worst was the government when they said "all changes start with you".

That's a bunch of bullshit cause the people ain't got no voice! We put their snakey asses in office yet it's like they make their own choice! 

They don't listen to the people, they do what's best for them! They throw their money around like legal only to rub it in the faces of their friends.

The snakes are always in charge because their manipulation works the best. And if their sneaky words don't work, they still have money to save their ass. 

All in all, society? It's just a label on a community or group of people. 

But the ones that are placed in charge of the people are the ones of pure evil. 

Watch what they say and who they place the labels on. Because they only label the one that have potential to beat them in the long run.

The projects aren't dangerous. You know everyone in your neighborhood. The ones we should worry about, is the ones really up to no good. 

The snakes with the money, the ones that still aren't satisfied with what they got! They would do anything to kill off everyone in their entire block. 

You might feel safe in a rich neighborhood and feel sketchy in the hood, but I'm way more set and certain that the rich is always up to no good. 

In the hood you see the struggles right there infront your eyes. But in a rich ass society everyone is blinded in their eyes and in their mind. 

They put up a perfect picture and blind you with nice things. Their golden toilets and platnum fountains and clustered diamon rings. 

But what about behind the doors? You have drug dealers and over doses. Prostitution and trafficking and the biggest ever sinthicates. 

Being rich looks fun cause all the bad is behind closed doors. But in the hood it's the opposite it's right outside in the yard.

The happiness in the ghetto is behind the doors of a home. A place any thug or gangsta would feel safe to be alone! 

Their home is a place of sanctuary a place they run away from the evils of the world. But then again if you ask me, you're hearing it all from a little girl.

This little girl sees the things that the rest of the world fails to acknowledge. She sees the way you've placed the poor in this day in ages style of bondage. 

I'll settle for nothing other than what I claim to know is mine. And I'll fight til the day I die and run all out of time. 

They always say we can't make it if we decide the come out of the ghetto. But majority of the people who made it, only made it because of their dough. 

If they had to start from scratch like those where I'm from? They probably would have given up before the hard stuff even begun. 

Life is so unfair and cruel in many ways, but the difference between the projects and the rich? Is that we'll fight to find and even create a way. 

Don't get my words twisted, not all rich or poor are the same. It's just that group giving us the labels are the ones changing the game.

Watch who you put in power and watch closely at the actions of your friends. Cause in the end they could be the ones killing you and bringing you to your end. 

The ghetto ain't the problem in a society or community. It's the way the media makes it seem to be that covers up the identities. 

We're forced to see what the papers wants us to see and we're blinded by the truth. So be careful what you listen to, especially when they're speaking on behalf of you.
