Good

Good

Sometimes good feels overrated
Doing the right thing is outdated
In the end we suffer the same
Good or bad its a similar game

It seems we reap most of the same things
Even though what we sow may be different
Their fabric might be wool and brown
Mine cotton and white

They selling marijuana
I'm punching the clock every night
Sometimes good is overrated
Bad might catch up with you
But for now the right thing to do just seem outdated

They say give everything your best effort
Give everything all you got
But when I hit my best I get shot
Not literally but I dont get the outcome 
I anticipated
I swear sometimes good is overrated

Wrong aint right
But man the right thing seems so outdated
They out here doing exotic things
I'm out here flipping burgers and saucing wings

I'm not one to judge
But there are things that make my feelings budge

Because they draw a line between 
"Good" and "Bad"
High class low class 
Treasure and trash

But who are we to determine
What isn't and what is
Good isn't ever good enough 
But we realize it is what it is

For all the men trying to make ends
meet
For all the woman trying to stand on their 
Own two feet

Hello Derricka...

I used to wonder some of the same things...

Like the pimp driving a Cadillac, wearing fancy jewelry, abusing women because they reach their nightly quota and continues smiling while filling his pockets with alot of green...

While she may sit in jail for solicitation...

A good pimp never runs out of girls...

A single mother struggled to keep food on the table working several legitimate jobs trying to keep everything running...

We're not running a race with them...

We're running our own race for ourselves...

We have a choice...

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hi Derricka,

You did so "good" on this work, because it is so "bad ass".  You tell it like it is.  For the worth of a person is not what is in their bank account, but, what is in their heart!  Cosmo Funnel has found great wealth for it's coffers.

Peace and Love,

xox Larry
