More to Life…

by June, Santa Clara

Teach the youth to all my youngstas
There’s more to see than just the block
There’s more to life then toting glocks
Better play it smart
don’t wanna live yo’ life inside that box
There’s other ways to get yo money
You ain’t gotta serve no one but you
You only get one chance at life
You don’t get to do it twice
The streets ain’t the same
they got infested with these mice
Better stay up out my way
because the streets ain’t playing nice
You ah prolly lose yo’ rights
Or mess around n’ lose yo’ life
Might dig yourself a hole so deep
that you could never see the light
Don’t try swimming wit’ the sharks
Once they smell blood, they gon’ bite
Nowadays too many be shooting,
they ain’t even tryin’ to fight
Tell me how are you gone reach the top
If you afraid of heights.
