What would it take to be considered as the best; at anything you can possibly imagine.

No matter what it is there is always competition for the zest; so it was not you is that why you are so mad and tripping.

What is your take on it, which side do you fall; since there is always two sides of each coin.

Most of the time there is for or against the law; so the choice is all yours on which side you join.

Your choice may just come down to how you was raised; was you brought up and taught morals as in like todays minority.

If so then you must have thick skin plus totally unfazed; by all the inevitable talking where you're from, your city.

Not many in this day and age are still left or remaining; or just flat out over looked since you was raised by a woman.

And yes, if you really care or must know I am complaining; since to me there is still plenty left, real gentle men.

Just sad as it may be but most do not pay enough attention; to what other people are doing, even when right in front of your face.

Too busy with ourselves to look let alone try to mention; anything that happens even if it involves courts or catching a case.

For me that was something rather important that I was taught; no matter what, who, or why, you always keep your mouth shut.

Snitching is a moniker that can not be bought or easily lost; if you do then you're no different than the neighborhood drunk or mutt.

You do not snitch on anyone, not even your worst enemy; was drilled in my head non stop as a kid.

Just the way things was and still are in my world and family; part of the reason half of my family is gone doing prison bids.

So therefore talking to pigs was not ever an option my way; nor was it type of thing I ever gave a 2nd thought to.

The label snitch will never be put with my name; or for that matter anyone who was ever associated with my crew.

For me, it is what it is and it just was; it is just what it was while growing up.

Being real was what would provide you with a buzz; for free also helps kill any worries that you will get Trumped.

As in left out in the cold all high and dry; all to face the oncoming storm's onslaught by yourself.

Anxiously waiting it out until finally it may pass on by; so in the end just get thrown to the side of the shelf.

Or could be on the good side of things if you so choose; everyone has a mind of their own to use to make a pick.

Most options or decisions culminate with a win or you lose; sometimes no matter what you get slam jammed by a ton of bricks.

So stand by your choice regardless of the outcome; especially if your choice was based off a belief.

Then it is the right one to make with every chance that may be done; never make your beliefs take a backseat behind feeling relief.

That would be the easy way to get out of things; yet being in the right does not guarantee wanted results.

Will swing your way, just wait and see what it brings; then take it how you want yet not as an insult.

Not personal is the way to look at most instances; since all things happen for a reason even if the reason is unknown.

Just always stay tru to you plus constantly remain consistent; in turn get to show everyone exactly how much you have grown.

Always be proved to showcase your maturation; to prove to the world that kid is way long gone.

Replaced by a man and that is no exaggeration; in my eyes I am the best man for you to ever come along.
