Posthumous Words of a Misunderstood Man
I had a loving and pure heart
but portrayed as evil and dark
framed for a crime I I didnt commit
Just because I refused to submit
to this sick society, adding to my anxiety
known for notoriety, but not for propriety
I was too humble to show off my good deeds
I was committed to giving everyone their basic needs
I had a hard childhood, so I wanted kids to see
there's much more to life than just poverty
So I did benefit concerts and shows
Getting good grades put you in the front rows
I donated millions to charities and wrote a code of laws
to be adopted by gang members and underdogs
it said to get up and not be silent
get out of the ghetto and not be violent
I was rich but didn't need the wealth
All I wanted was for the world to be in good health
But one night I got my robbed and my head split
By my "friends" and got too involved in a conflict
This made my heart turn cold seeking revenge
Ending relationships that were impossible to mend
things got out of hand and again I got shot
suffering fatal wounds, I almost died on spot
This world cannot house a pure soul like me
in my death I am now happy
Maybe my message will soon be known
maybe one day it will again be shown
To all those struggling, keep pushing and endure
