NOT A GOOD IDEA

byAnonymous

When I Get to be Famous and Successful

I don’t know if I can tell people what I’ve been through

Of course I don’t think Baltimore is a bad city...

There’s just bad people

There’s misunderstood people

We’re a misunderstood city

I’m not going to act like there has been successful artistry around here

I mean there’s CHARM, there’s authors like D Watkins, there were people like Tupac, who were all successful and are probably one of the best artist

There’s seriously beautiful murals and paintings on the side of the road

There’s some personality to it, but I hate when the news ignore it

Of course despite the diversity, we’re misunderstood and all people care about us is violence

So much gun violence going on so when someone talks about it in an artistic form, they’re getting in trouble while we allow guns and that stuff to roam free

We blame the children and imposes curfew when higher ups behind the scenes won’t give us budget on our education just cause

No one could understand who’s good and who’s bad, and of course that will affect a good

Police aren’t trained to do anything and we put stricter laws on the innocent when there’s much more danger going on in the world

We’re not dangerous, the police and higher ups are

People worry about drugs and drug dealers and put them next to murderers and rapists

For every fun event, there’s tragedy.

We all love music and parties and art, and this is the best city to do so

It’s just .... The more stricter things are, the harder it is to express myself

Of course I love the city, but even celebrities here had to move on

When I get to be successful I could encourage people to be in the city, but when the police interrogate you.... Leave you don’t want to remember that part
