Focus

Focus on the green

Focus on the money

Young black male from the neighborhood,

I ain’t no dummy.

I chase the dollar

I chase the stack, I put more and more in my pockets.

I get that

I’ll rob from my own.

I’ll rob you & you

That color shit don’t bother my hunger for this money

I get no sleep for it

I chase

I hustle

I have to ball

Young black male from the neighborhood

I see no downfall !

How would the ladies look at me?

Friends?

Balling, riding clean

Clothes are to nice to even pull out the packages.

Spent another big number on shiny things.

But I’m focus

Focus

Focus on what, an older man ask I.

Watching me from the view.

Told him nothing more than what a black male want.

That paper stack

All the shiny materials, that’s what I need that’s all I need

Old man chuckled,

Good laugh to hear.

As he sat there with his normal clothes on.

Saying how he ran with the best dope boys

Ran across the biggest artist

As he sense I staring at him with no fear thinking about how I could I hustle this man.

But energy is different he really went through it,

So I listen,

Constantly laughing,

I remember when I was your age, wanting all the B——

Fast rides.

Play girls.

Views.

Chasing another man dream

I thought it was mine to chase the dollar & the dream.

I thought it was the right thing for me.

I thought that it was going to bring me inner peace.

Assuming,

Another chuckle comes

Play smart

Don’t play dumb.

Believe in what you truly want to see.

Ask why is your focus one such a thing.

CREAM.

Cash rule everything around thee.

But not me. the man chuckled.

Great wisdom taught me

As I wish you will cherish the same

But younger than most.

Cherish the moments the most

Place your focus on the better for yourself

After the love settle in oneself

Spread your wealth

That neighborhood dream,

you beyond such thing

I this I that.

Have you thought about we

Bot your homie

Let loose of greed

The next man beside I.

Have you ever tried to say hi?

Listen ,

Old man chuckle.

While you young let the young gold in yourself glow and grow with the years of coming

Do not get caught in the young black male dream

you beyond such thing.
