The Fallen Role Model

Looking back at the days when you were all I used to think about;

When for every mood I had you had the answer coming out of your mouth.

You were my sky and I was your star.

Every day I searched for my twinkle in who you were.

For some reason, I could identify with your outlook on life.

Coming up a poor child I enviously desired an alternative to my life.

You said that the world was against me and that I believed.

You said the only way to get rich was to sell my body or substitute my hustle with weed.

Your philosophy was when life gets rough, drink your problems away.

I did just that with a bottle of Appleton or a case by the Bay.

If somebody crosses me then they should have to pay.

Don’t take crap from anyone no time, no day.

You see the truth is I wanted to be just like you.

Now when I think about it, I am glad that I am nothing like you.

See following you was going to cost me my life at a very low price;

But thank God, he stepped in and made right.

Fallen role model I am ashamed of you;

I stand stronger and taller not because of anything to do with you!
