Be More Truthful
Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)
Why is it nice to formerly be oblivious?
They kind and mean to you when serious.
Mistreating you ‘cause you're so new to it.
Don’t be fake around me.
The rude insults get no love for me.
Tell your truth like you want people to do.
Once you know it's no longer cool.
Take me as I am
I can understand the man.
