IThe other day, when I was making my way home before I went inside, I stopped and talked to one of my childhood friends from the neighborhood. He’s been in the streets heavy and I could tell the shit was weighing on him by just looking at him, eyes filled with exhaustion. I told him “ I heard you was looking for a job “. He told me he was and began to tell me how he can’t keep going to jail and how “ shit wasn’t how everybody is making it seem “. We began to talk about the 2 dudes that was killed around the corner from us that we almost witnessed, we heard the seemingly never ending shots rang in our neighborhood, I was in awe when it happened but I just hoped it wasn’t anyone I grew up with. It was two dudes who weren’t from the neighborhood and just trapped there and basically brought their beef to our neighborhood. He told me how it makes it harder for them because the cops are hot after a homicide, I knew this already but I digress, I don’t know how probable it is for him to get a job since he has multiple felonies but I pray he gets one... I’m tired of seeing my niggas depressed, oppressed, exhausted, defeated, discouraged, hopeless and many other feelings that shouldn’t be associated with us generation after generation. Shit is frustrating... I wish y’all can see how I can see it.
