J.I.M. - 16 bars lyrics

Jim shields 16 hard bars of life Every day I wake up to foster a sense of hope/ To only realizing another brother smothers himself in dope/ Or submits himself to the lengths of a rope/ All my inner decisions stripped me of my vision for fervent persistence/ A measure of a man's worth or a boys outcry I will never know/ Deadly felons keep my spirit tucked beneath my garments/ Never know how I will live in this treacherous universe coming from an unsound background/ Apply myself to reap the results struck up like lightening volts/ They can be vividly depicted like the scenes in the media of Black Lives Matter a**aults, and the doctors saying, “What's the results of our faults”/ Colonized around me by demons, d**h, debt, drought, and despair/ In the end, what I thought was real was only pretend so I descend my status/ Getting better with time aligned with a destiny that boasts/ Self-respect is what I strive for like a car I drive in I shall sit in a chair I recline in/ Listening to the legends like Gaye, Khan, and Fisher I can make better motives/ I'm supposed to do it big like Wallace put money in my family's wallet/ A novel way to end this sunny day before the clouds commence to shower/
