FuQ - Teenager

Intro: 1, 2, 1, 2; ask me what I gonna do (might include Aunt Viv sayin' "When R U going 2 grow up boy?")

Put upon the charts, finally reachin' their mean
Go thru the unlucky-est times, cuz U start at 13
Biological terms label you a man or woman
Responsibilities of the world 2day, will have U shooken
Pressure will test ya strength and weaknesses
Cut off from fatasys, this the way that we live
Give U explicit exposure instead of comfortable closure
Thought U'd know this in ya youthness, but nobody told ya
Lil girls develop and young boys felt it in their hormones
A nervous wreck when they call the opposite on the phone
U felt alone in these stages of life
Different appearances, but it'z still the same old sight
The process of gettin use to a lot of things
B4 U learn 2 fly, U gotta flap ya wings
Bring my point across that ya part of nature
Hold ya head high as a teenager

I feel like an individual
Speak the freedoms of my mind, but I'm treated like a criminal
Pumpin a classic, got an old school feel 2 it
A decade away, but it still seems that'z the way 2 do it
It'z critical when I turn 18
Somethin needs 2 be done, even if it isn't my dream
Left home, try 2 picture possibilities
The worl don't owe me ****, even if I'm beggin' please
Thought I had friendz wit unity, but there's no U & me
Cuz there's no loyalty, 2gether like the edge of land & sea
I must regain sight, how 2 survive life
Thinkin what it'z like, 2 make a wrong, right
Adulthood's beginnig, can't turn back it must start
Already finished the school's, now I gotta be street smart
My dad would sometimes criticize my brain
What he didn't realize is that it was far from plain
Subconsciously, evil was the only thing stoppin me
From bein what I wanted 2 be, give me a future 2 see
I'm neither beautiful nor black, 2 many of eyez
My history tells the truth, but their common thoughts is tellin em lies
Be the solution, but my status doesn't make it seem major
All grown up, livin life as a teenager

[i]Sept. 18, 2004[/i]
Got many influeneces spinning amongst U
If your not stereotypical, peers will punk U
Affiliation wit crews, some choose and lose
Guided in the wrong path, a bad motion of moves
It'z your life, but don't distance your decision
Meet someone wit similar caliber, ask em how they livin'
Refer back, listen to my raps closely
Compare wit these times, U notice anything?
U feel like a juvenile, never presented wit smiles
Arguments bout buyin' clothes, that'z affecting your style
Still, how does that determine U earning respect
Manipulate 2 get the cash and start spendin the check
Or feel a wreck cuz the will U have is hard 4 U 2 see thru
the enxt generation where your leading the people
Gonna feel frantic, wit the events U remember
Everybody's changing, we're dynamic characters
Gotta indicate ya fate, it'z somethin' U can't hide from
Sometimes it got 2 me, and I'd wanna die young
Felt dumb and tried 2 catch up hopin time would stall
I just express my best, keep it real & raw
Last wit difference of competition
Not submittin' because of condition
All mighty wit the stance, take a chance 2 get the dream
Develop truly in ya years as a teen

First off, i like the way that you made the song into a diary, personally i have never seen that done, your writing a rhyme taken from feelings from different days and i respect the way you make the flow work also, the point is taken directly because the topic i can relate to cause im 16, i liked the words you used and the lines you rhymed, one word to describe it, dope, i like reading your stuff,

Nah, it'z not a diary. It'z the dayz that I wrote em. I guess U could kinda call it a diary tho. I just put the dates on my stuff so I know when I wrote it. Sometimes I'd include the exact time. I'm not ashamed of how long it takes me 2 write something. That'z the whole point of the song. 2 relate and remember previous years as a teen.
Appreciate ya feedback.
