The Baby Cub...

Look man I dont even know where to start

What you goin through can tear anyone apart

like a rose in a “She loves me, she loves me not” game

That game that’s always played and always ends up the same

The rose and the boy both left in pain trying to remain sane

they just aint see it coming so they let it be

Look, when people look a you, you know what they see

a chill dude with a sense of humor always in tact

A dude with a dope vibe and you know that’s a fact

A dude who can laugh and fuck around with his homies

The first time we talked all night that shit surprised me

You showed me an uncut version of you that was more than real

That shit you told me about and thought you couldn’t deal

You told me about dropping out man that shit was deep

I Ain’t think that was the plan did you sit and think

I had hope in you that I guess aint really matter

But don’t regret it now cause that shit don’t even matter

You know its something you had to do

And for that man all respect goes to you

All that struggling shit you told me broke my heart

What you told me man you aint even know where to start

You got so much love boiling up in your heart

But you gave it all away and theres none left for you

I know my words get to you because all I want is the best for you

I dont think I’ve known you for more than a year

Youre like a brother to me and ill never get tired of you being here

If you my nigga you aint ever gotta question it

Ill give you my last, I think my heart too big to measure it

Yeah I just quoted a dave east song

That shit he raps man he aint ever wrong

Theres no poem I can write that can say everything I want to tell you

You know I just want you to be happy doing you

I hope and know everything I tell you gets to you

And shit I know you be thinking about our convos out the blue

And im already knowing, this poem will stick in your mind

Like that money you are always looking for but cant seem to find

Man you know if you never give up you gon have it all

I love our talks you know we aint gon let each other fall

Youre stuck on not knowing what to do and who you want to be

But that shit aint anything new to society

They wanna see you struggle they wanna see you bleed

Like a baby cub forced to grow up and left astray

Because his mom is out the picture and pops lost his way

His siblings don’t get it, their stuck in their own grave

The baby cub is wondering how to get it together

And help find them a way

Because the cub is all alone he starts to pave a way

Working harder than everyone because he aint have it easy

You know you got through the death of your og

Sure you struggled but at least you aint od’d

Like some dudes that just don’t care

Its not that they don’t care

They just cannot bare

To be alive in this world without their favorite person being there

Guess what bro, youre still here

And that proves that youre a strong man

With the will to tell yourself, “I can”

Because that baby cub aint a baby no more

But he has yet to see himself fully grow

To Be Continued….
