World Turns - GQ

See this here story take place not far from here

Bout a kid named Kevin who was headed down the right path

No trouble, never messin up

Both pants and life grades always kept him up

Still around the drama though, city had a lot to show

Neighborhood place where only cops would go

Told himself one day I’mma make it out, far away from all of this

Now he thinkin in the car and shit,

Drivin down the highway, music up, blowin out the Hemmy

That’s when he got a call from his main man Benny

See Benny had a gang plan, waitin for them to get paid

Mastermind, tight mind, sharper than a sick fade

So Kevin we could snatch paper like ripped page

My homie started rockin and he was clockin in 6 days

So Kevin mind’s in a mixed stage

Funny feeling in his stomach, stickin like a switch blade

Not sure of what he heard

But Kevin still took Benny’s word

Cuz he know him since the 5th grade

Couple minutes later call came to him and he

He understood it all but still couldn’t comprehend it

Now Kevin fightin overthinkin while he drivin home

His mind gone so his heart what he relying on

Looking out fo mo, only thing his eyes on

Wanna turn bad to good but don’t know if it’s right or wrong

Months went by, everything running smooth

True enough, Benny’s plan, gotta make your moves

So now Kevin at an alltime high

His attitude changed, you could see it in his eyes

Little pocket change turned out to be the answer

Trust nobody, on his toes like a dancer

Leavin school one day, Kevin went Bonanza

When he came home and found out his mom had cancer

What makes it worse, lately hearin pops been trippin

Job laid him off a month ago, income slippin

Man this is nothing that Kevin would’ve predicted

Good kid caught up in a world so wicked

He just needed better days, hard to enjoy em

Bullshit, bad luck, he couldn’t avoid em

Him and Benny workin on but nobody employed em

Money and whatever came with it got a poison

Opposite of what he is now what he lusts

Fell in love with greed, more ain’t even enough

The money and attention,

Kevin kid and was getting on the nerves of Benny slowly

But he ain’t show it to his homie

But now they friendship was crumbling, Styrofoam

Both of they minds gon hard what they relying on

Tryna get some mo, only thing they eyes on

Wanna turn bad to good but don’t know if it’s right or wrong

Starin at life, something only few would see

Kevin and Benny ain’t as cool as they used to be

I guess jealousy and envy just came between em

We all look at things different but for a reason

It looked good from a distance, hypnotizing

But when he finally did it be a bit surprising

Want it but I don’t know if I’m made for it

Forbidden fruit, we all crave for it

Yea
