The Sky Is The Limit

Sometimes you feel lost, as if you are drifting in space, and you feel like the gravity of the sun or the stars is sucking you away from the earth, and slowly you begin to suffocate, and just at that moment. HOPE springs eternal giving you a lifeline, no matter how slim, it is there and you cling onto it, harder and stronger then ever before. You now have a path to success and you do everything to make sure that it stays as open as possible, and that entails you clearing all other thoughts from your mind, and then, just then, there is a song that blasts over your I-Pod

And you know that imma ride with my motherfuckin niggas,
Most likely imma die with my finger on the trigga,
Don't worry bout mine, imma grind til i get it
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,

You lie down to bed, and think that no matter what happens you will have an option down the line....

BUT FUCK THAT

Lil Wayne says it best, the fucking sky is the limit, and if you do not grind till you get it then you do not deserve it

The only thing on a mind of a shark, is eat

and that alone makes you feel like there is something more, that you deserve it, as if you might be dwayne wadem and fuck the bullshit, but you are the best, and you do fucking deserve the best.

However, this is real life, and you aint no fucking DWAYNE WADE, you are a fucking punk, or so you think, you do not believe in you. After all, D-Wade is a an all star and you aint nothing

Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till i get it
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit,
Because the sky is the limit,
Yeah, the sky is the limit,
And If you look high, you'll see that im goin be in it,
Cuz the sky is the limit,
They tell me dont get high, n i should try to make a living,
I tell em imma hustler n id rather make a killin
Cuz the sky is the limit,
Hands up in the air, because the sky is the limit,
Can you see me up there? The sky is the limit,

Yet the man says "The sky is the limit" so you think maybe it is possible, but you do not let it hit it you. You do not believe it, to do so would make you a punk just like all the other times you have believed it, and have been let down and felt as if the sky was not the limit, rather the weight of the world falling on your shoulders and crushing you beneath its weight and expectations. Yet for some reason you think that this time will be different but, who the fuck are you to know anything? You are a punk, a kid, a brat who just hopes for a chance to show that he has something worth of value within himself, some redeeming quality that can change the world. An idea that will make OBAMA blush.

Beyond your means?
Is it
Inside your dreams?
Can it
Never come out cause it's scared to
Unprepared to
Too worried about the words of the people it's weird to
You don't want them to hear you
You just wish there was a door that would appear that you can go disappear through

Then the phone rings, your world is on hold. You are frozen as the words get spoken, and you hope against every bone in your body that you will not disappear through that door. and somehow you manage to hear the words, that idea, from their side, that you are special, that you are worth something, and then you know

The sky is the limit

We were told that if we put our heads down, worked hard in high school, studied, went to class, paid attention that we would go to a good college. That should of tipped us off, it was the first lie they told us. Then they said, you will find yourself in college, but keep a good GPA, study hard, party hard on weekends, keep up with your work, do an internship or two, endear yourself to professors, graduate on time with some sort of honors, and you will get a good job, and life will flow smoothly from there. What a crock of shit. At that point we should have known something was up. Then they tell you to get a credit card, spend reasonably on it, within your means, build your credit, create a home, it is all good for when you need to get a mortgage on a house or a loan for that first car you buy in your name, and you follow, again alarm bells should be ringing at this point. Still you listen and follow the path. You get a car you cannot afford, because the dealer convinces you that really you can with some ‘fuzzy math’ and there you go, you get that nice pink slip within a few weeks. CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome to the world. Oh and before we forget, just wait, just wait till you see the bill you will get in about 25 years courtesy of what your current leaders, politicians, business men, lobbyists, and of course parents. Enjoy the rest of your life, because you will spend it paying off the excess and fuckups of the baby boomers and your parents, all because we are the least involved generation, who just tunes out, and gets the shortest end of the stick. Wake up guys. Start noticing that today’s decisions, bailouts, tax cuts, will be paid by YOU, China has no interest in acquiring more US debt, it is going to come out of your living standards, your paycheck and your hours spent at work away from your children to pay back today’s problems. We will be the first generation that has a lower standard of living in modern history.
Ask questions about how the $700 billion is going to be paid back? Why is no question being asked about bank management and their ridiculous bonuses and questionable decisions, but the Detroit crowd is getting killed for less than 5% of the money that was given to Wall St. And why does anyone let a bunch of Senators who are in the pocket of Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, and whose only goal is to LOWER wages of workers…how on earth does this make sense to anyone in the middle of a recession, why is no one writing letters to these idiots?
