Takeoff

Stop sitting around

By Cheffy From Da EastzidePublished 6 years ago 1 min read
A hood poem

Life is but a sitting ground

But it don't settle down

Got peaks and valleys

But people still like to sit around

Me and my people like to clown around

Can't fan us down

We stand around

On the block

Out in parking lots

Tryna catch a flock

Tryna make shit hot

I know I will not flop

Ima soar in the sky

Not the average guy

Boy I stay too fly

And now never again

You won't see me die

you can't see me sitting on the ground

You can’t knock my rhymes

You can’t stop my shine
