Still Precious

Labled anti social, she dresses in black, dyes her hair
suicidal tendancies, that's what they think, so they dont dare
associate wit hher, she cuts herself to hide emotional pain
walks through life, no friends, always emotionally drained
she cries herself to sleep, cussin at society
but when all is lost, you always gotta friend in me
They call you a problem, but to me, you're still precious

Teenage girl, pregnant, in 3 months, she'll be a mother
Never had a dad around, not even an older brother
to protect her, and her boyfriend that cared so much
can't be found, he ran out, no longer stays is touch
So they look at each other, whisperin "w***e"
never took the time to know her, yet her inner beauty soars
like an eagle, they call you a problem, but to me, you're still precious

Little boy from the inner city, always in trouble with the law
95% of the world ain't seen half of what he saw
Cars rollin up slowly, masked up thugs pullin drive-bys
The time doesn't matter, always be prepared for a homicide
Born with less, so he slangs rocks to feed his family
This is all he knows, grew up in insanity
Cops followed him around, now he's stuck in lockdown
Placed in juvie, tears fillin up his brown
little eyes, they call you a problem, but to me, you're still precious

Baby boy, heard ya cryin, dumped in a trash can
Your mom couldn't handle it, she paniced and ran
Joggers discovered your body, you didn't make it
body so fragile, God had to step in and take it
I'm sorry you'll never know life, never see tomorrow
This world ain't worth it anyway, full of sorrow
They chalk you up, statistic, but to me, you're still precious

That was too amazing...now this is reality for most of us right there...
and you've written it so beautifully, yet so very sad at the same time...
but I am totally in love with this write...because... Its real...and If a person can relate to it...
they feel it...the rhymes totally kill me; i love them.
I respect what you've written; if only half the world could only "see" just as much.

Wow, that's intense! Reminds me of a really good Common rhyme. A deep and realistic look at life...i think it's great you say "you're still precious" it shows your heart. you don't judge, don't eat up statistics just because the society may.

you are right. we do not know what others have gone through, and sometimes we look at their situations and say, "oh, they are just deadbeats, she's just crazy, she's just a ho, etc." This can also be looked at a spiritual angle, that God loves them, no matter what. And he undersatnds everyone's situation no matter if others do. and you are kinda taking on that idea, teh way he looks at them.

great job on this piece.
