In tha End

IP:

my verse against Blunt-MC, storytellin

In tha End……………………..

Me= Blue
Kid= Red

(/) = one bar

A malnourished child slowly creeps up to me as I walk on Jefferson Ave in Newport News, Virginia. It’s late, around 1 a.m., and I am makin my way back to my whip after an extremely long night. When I hear tha sound of gravel shift under weight behind me. I turn around slowly, not knowing what to expect, and find a boy cuffing his hands slowly approachin me………….

(I’m Thinkin’: What is this lil kid doin All-Alone/ Is he lost?……he might need a phone to Call-Home/
I begin ta notice that he is extremely small, just Skin-and-Bone/ How long as he actually Been-Alone?/
Damn……if I only could Begin-ta-Know/……what this boy’s lyfe has Been-Like/
How can he walk on these “mean streets” where many men tragically End-Lives? Carry TWIN-Nynes, and are always willin to Sin-TWICE/)



“Wuzz up young one, what are you doin out So-Late”/(tha child frantically shakes)
“I gotta go”, (and quickly advances in tha opposite way (direction))
Tryin to comprehend what had just happened……I shout, “No……Wait”/
“Come back, kid, I wont hurt you, its O.K.”/
(tha child abruptly stops and turns around)
“Honestly, bro……you don’t need to be Scared-of-Me”/(tha child awkwardly walks closer)
“I’m not……really, its just that askin for money is so Embarrassing/, (tha boy becomes teary eyed and his lips begin to quiver)
It’s not Fair-Ya-See, I have no family……I Rarely-Eat/,
How can people have so much……and you Rarely-See them Share-With-Me/
I’ve neva been to skool……I can barely read, on top of that….i can Barely-See/,
Tha smog is thick here……I Rarely-Breath Air-that’s-Clean/
Ever since I was 5 and I saw my Parents-Leave/
I realized that I must have been a MISTAKE…….no one has been there to Care-For-Me”/
(I slowly move toward him, place my hand on his shoulder)
“I’m here ta listen, lil one, be open…...Share-Your-Dreams”/(tha child glares-at-me),
“I’ve got sum time…...hop in my ride, let’s roll to Dairy Queen”/

(We arrive at dairy queen, go inside, order food, and set down.)

(I’m Thinkin’: Honestly, Lord……I really don’t know that much About-You/
Just like “Young One” right here, lyfe turns for tha worst, and I have Doubts-Too/
Forget me….right now, I’m tryin to be a Scout-for-lil-Dude/
But I’m gonna need guidance, some direction, to place him on Your-Side,-Your-Team/
Just lyke Jordan did with tha Bulls, he’ll have tha chance to Score-High,-Explore-Dreams/
I know he possesses determination, it lies within his eyez, tha purest heart……and tha purest soul, reside inside of This-lil-Guy/
Whateva happens, whateva you decide, lil man would be betta off with you…… in His-Lyfe/)


“Hold up lil man……I aint even catch Yer-Name”/
“Sorry, but you didn’t ask, Its……Deray”/
“M.D…...Nyce-ta-Meet-Ya……I know you’ve takin some low blows……but sumtymes Lyfe-is-Cheap-Bra/
Don’t get me wrong, I aint Tryin-ta-be-a-Preacha, but hopefully……if you hold up strong……Guidance-will-Teach-Ya/
Believe it or not bro, you have a purpose, you’re still Alive-for-a-Reason/
Thankfully……there is some one for support, his name is God-you-Gotta-Meet-Him/
Shhhh……Swallow your Pride-Just-Believe-Me, he is tha only one with tha Power and Desire-ta-Free-Sin/……damn……I’m still preachin”


All of sudden Deray stands up, drops his food, and runs out tha door
“I cant Believe-This”/
I run out afta and throw out quick glances in each direction, and eventually see him in tha Street- “SHIiIiIiT”/
Deray, stands in tha road bellowing “I see him, I See-Him”/
I scream “Who?”
“Jesus, its Je-sus”/ a lady across tha street is yelling something
All of a sudden, He’s-Hit/, but its not by tha Holy Spirit aka Jesus,
It came to me quickly, She-Was tryin…… to Scream-Bus/
Deray instantly stops Breathin, I hold my head in my hands, tears Streamin/
“Lyfe is long and hard, whats tha Reason”, I guess sacrifice is tha only answer, In tha beginning and In-Thee-End/

In the Dairy Queen, PCP aka “angeldust” was “accidentally” slipped into Deray’s drink, instead of mine. Therefore, minutes later Deray had a delusional episode……which inevitably ended his life. I eventually went back to tha crib and decided that I should not let life hang in tha balance any longer. A few weeks later, I professed my faith.

Moral: Don’t take life for granted, its betta to be safe than sorry (commit yourself to tha Lord early), no matter what you go through……you must neva give up, and sacrifices are made everyday (ever since the beginning of time and even In The End).

Peace
