The Reality

"Now I don't know who I'm trying to reach with what I write
It's probably the youth 'cause for them that's why we fight
It doesn't really matter if I don't know them as long as they know they're not alone
With all the issues I've been through the pen touching the pad makes me feel right at home
Speaking of home, they say home is where the heart is but what if I don't have one
Then what do I call home?
Is it that empty spot in my chest that used to beat?
The one that was torn apart after she was willing to cheat
Or is home all those meaningless nights with girls I never cared about
The ones that were too easy, didn't have to wine & dine them or even take them out
Maybe it's the club life I used to hit nightly
Seeing all those cats living in a dream and getting bottle service
Were they truly happy? Not likely
Trying to live 'big' as they try to impress
Every lil thing that walks around in a tight dress
What a waste of time all for a night of fantasy
Can't only blame yourselves but also what's on tv
'Reality tv' like the 'Jersey Shore' highlighting this lifestyle
But all these fans are too blind to see
Or is it those people that need validation on every little thing they do?
You know who, often checking if the last chick they were with impresses you
Or those that try to show off what they have to those that don't
As if trying to make up for something they lack
What a joke, that's why no one truly has their back
The only people's validation that I ever want is my family's
It's reality, those are the only one's that truly matter
All of this I'm saying is not for me to try and say I'm better
Not at all, this is more like a wake up call
If you're reading this and you're feeling slighted then this is for you
Do you want to continue living as if you're on a treadmill?
Didn't think so, you want change? You know what to do."
