I Go Hard

Some mentalities are just fucked up. This whole "I go hard" shit, yeah it's stupid. Go hard for who? The hood don't miss you when you gone. The scream "R. I . P." and move along. They light up the tree and crack the bottle, life goes on. The hood don't love nobody, never did; yet people out here ready to die for theirs. People claim and rep hoods that they do not own. Create gangs that genocide condones.. It's a cycle cause when in Rome do as the Romans do, fall in line. Follow your crew. Most of these "I go hard" people know better, but refuse to do better. They act like it's their only option. If' that's the case they mind as well go fight the war. It's senseless violence and bullshit fueled by politics. At least they'll get paid if they survive the war. This "I go hard" war, no benefits. Cuffs or a casket, the catch 22. The belief in this lifestyle is beyond ignorant. Live for today, do it again if I see tomorrow. They live waiting to see how they'll die. They're all the walking dead. You can tell one, "If you go here, you're going to die tonight." He'll still go, if the crew goes. He might try to back track in the 12th hour; but it'll be too late. It happens. Death, then the hood moves on. No justice will be paid, because this lifestyle breeds a Catch 22. When it's too late, the lifestyle has caught up to you. Somebody's always willing to prove that they go hard. There's always the situation where someone is trying to get their life together or was doing the right thing; but tragedy strikes. The thing what this life, it's not one-hand in, one-hand out. If you gonna do right, do right. This situation is always so sad, but you reap what you sow. Don't mistake working hard with going hard. It's a difference between living life, and living dead. What you living for?
