"Life Sucks Sometimes" by Druid
(written when I was already having a pissy day but then found out
some asshole robbed my boy)

Life sucks sometimes
When students have the nerve to test me
Pressing me to eject from seat like Ferguson v. Plessy
Life sucks sometimes
When friends don't heed your advice
Taking back ex-boyfriends when they need to remove the heathens from
sight
Life sucks sometimes
When the influence of 50 Cent
Makes shifty kids get itchy trigger fingers on some nigga shit
What the hell's wrong with these hell-spawn?
Frontin' like Pharell's song
My friend Sir is uninjured but now on his seventh cell phone
I crack jokes to keep from crying
From the drama the street's supplying
When life's hard, I write hard
With acetylene pens and sheets of iron
Y'all niggas wanna "hold heat"?
Try to touch SUNSHINE
But NEVER touch one of mine
Or from your life I'll "suck some time"..

(Luckily Sir's fine. Or I'd have to murder a mother fucker. For real. And that ain't even my style. But in the words of 'Pac:
"Touch one of mine, and on everything I own I'll DESTROY everything you touch Play the game, nigga...")
