inside jamari fox - taking you real deep
you need to be burned so you can wake up.
so you can stop trusting so fast.
“damn!
pineapples wanna stick my for my cream and it ain’t a dream,
things ain’t always what it seem
it’s the ones that smoke blunts witcha,
see your picture
now they wanna grab the guns and come and getcha” – notorious big, warning
it’s like you can’t let anyone in your life anymore in 2016.
the more you show these pineapples an ounce of kindness,
the more they want to sink their claws deeper into your back.
you do things with’em,
hang out with’em,
and start to share your life story with’em.
“friend”
that’s what you call’em.
that is…
until they bite you and the wound is pretty deep.
now you asking yourself:
How did this happen?
you decided to see the good in them and ignore the truth.
the signs were there,
but sometimes we are so desperate for companionship that we miss them.
the crazy part is,
once you defend yourself,
they can’t take it.
so they go and bad mouth you to anyone with an ear.
what happens when other animals believe them?
How do you handle the betrayal?
i have been bit.
it’s a bad bite,
but it’s definitely not fatal.
my reputation is being dragged through the mud with lies.
eh.
i’ve been through this before.
the lesson just sucks.
i want too much friends
i like befriending other animals.
i don’t like being alone.
if i’m always emotionally giving,
then those “friends” are use to dysfunction.
they are use to being treated like shit,
so when i come in and show a little love,
it’s a foreign concept.
in situations like this,
you could go and air them out.
play “tit for tat” and try and ruin their reputation.
that only makes you look #petty.
even though #petty is in,
it has never gotten me anywhere.
you end up being everything they said you were.
the best way i’ve learned is to ignore.
in the midst of adversity,
it’s best to just fall all the way back.
i’ve learned to now take responsibility for my role.
it’s not easy,
but it’s better than making a fool of yourself.
karma always shows who is real or fake.
it may not happen when you want it,
but you’ll be too busy winning at life to care.
