Sum people may say, I carry on in a different way, U won't neva see me ashamed to say what I want an need, Or in ma yard studyin ma books 2 find ma way an succeed

Yeah der's always gunna be dem wuns datare gonnatry an obstruct

But I've prepared maself mentally so I won't neva be stuck, wiv no goals or no mind sets...lyke summa dese skets

I'll find legits ways to make money unlike dem wuns dat have 2 jack 2 get fed

People may assume cuz of how I live, an how I speak

That I aint in tha rite frame of mind, or got tha skills to achieve

That's how i'm perceived, by people who claim 2 b more 'intelligent' than me

So tell me - why do u think so restrictively?

I may not know tha meanin of every word, I may not have the highest IQ - but while ur lukkin down on me....tell me suttin, do you?

The way I see things are diffrent to a no hoper, cuz I don't follow fashion, I follow ma ambition an ma goals

Yeh u mite c me rollin on street wiv labels glarin at u from every point of view, but it dnt mean i'm wearin dem 2 lukk man, or impress you

I aint ABOUT tha follow fashion, an what i hate most with a passion are dem wuns dat care more bout fashion than der studies

Dem wuns dat fink der hotter than u cuz of what's on their receipts or in their wardrobes, but tha way ur carryin on, in a few years will u even have wardrobes?

When u got manz knockin on ur door tellin u 2 pay rent, an ur unable 2 supply him cuz of the money u spent, and time u spent, on materialistic things dat won't better ur future

..yea I'd like fries wiv dat.

Somebody once told me I should trust no1 but me

Cuz if u spend ur tyme relyin on some1 else 2 supply ur needs, u wont neva exceed tha level u bin dragged up to

Rely on urself an it won't b as easy 2 get let down, prepare ur own security an have ur own back-up plan. Soon as u achieved ur GCSE's or further studies, or whichever place u set urself up 2 be...find a good way 2 earn ur own

dont turn out lyke wunna dem fake tugs shankin ppl 4 der £30 NEC fones

I'm me, an i don't strive 2 b any1 else but me. An dem haters will see, dat dey have neva got tha better of me, it's a dun deal dat i'm gunna have a reason 2 get up an go 2 tha bank, laughin der an back, rememberin all dem tymes u eva doubted me, all dem tymes u eva chatted me, or stabbed me in tha back, it's a karma vibe no long ting, listen to alicia sing lol it's all gud, cuz as long as i keep doin me, dats how long i'ma keep grinnin ma teeth from ear to ear.

If u aint got nuttin better 2 do than 2 sit pon wall an screw, den mayb u shud b aimin 2 get sum sort of life, an not b foolish enuff 2 think u got sum sorta 'power' ova mine.

Hey 'Swifty, I understand u posted dis thread in July and have had no responses.

Well I jus joined da club and while looking thru I fell upon a pearl piece.

U got a clear message in ur poem and its wid clarity, even so, dat I can picture da type of person u r!

And these following edited lines tell me more about u, and by dis I mean dat ur poetry is deep, and unique because not many on dis site have ability 2 incorporate their true self in their art. Yours is great art.But I would make suggestions dat u learn 2furnish and give off a final polish 2 ur art!!

[align=center]Sum people may say I carry on in a different way,
Always Dem wuns dat try an obstruct [/align]
[align=center]I've prepared maself mentally neva 2 be stuck,
Legits ways I'll find unlike wuns dat jack [/align]
[align=center]People may assume cuz of how I live,
An how I speak [/align]

Or got tha skills to achieve [/align]
[align=center]That's how I'm perceived,
By who claim more intelligent[/align]
[align=center]I may not know tha meanin of every word,
I see things different
Strictly followin ma goals an ambition[/align]
[align=center]Tell me - why do u think so restrictively[/align]
[align=center]Dem wuns dat fink der hotter
Fashion for receipts and wardrobes,
That's how they carry on[/align]
[align=center]Somebody once told me
I should trust no1 but me [/align]
[align=center]Rely on urself an prepare
Setting for a good way 2 earn ur own[/align]
[align=center]Dont turn out lyke wunna dem fake tugs
Shankin ppl 4 der £30 NEC fones [/align]
[align=center]I'm Me,
An I don't strive 2 b any1 else but Me
An haters will see, neva have they tha better of Me
Thinking they have sum sorta 'power' ova Me[/align]
[align=center]Remember all dem tymes
Always Dem wuns trying sum 'power' ova Me[/align]
[align=center]But for long I will stay still trying 2 do Me
I'm Me,
In tha rite frame of mind
Wid tha skills to achieve.
[/align]


Respect N Trust,

One World, Billion Souls, Different Goals, but One People.

I always write stuff down when somethin's botherin me, cause all of those things were happenin so I juss kinda..let it allll out, I think u basically summed up 'me' from the things I wrote, I mean that u picked out the lines I would pick out 2 represent me

I wrote that when I was 15, had I written it now it probably would have come out a lot better *the english* I know..ma english needs more tidyin up now lol
