Keep it real

By taviasmommie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

No matter how hard I try I can’t understand the idea Of why half of these girls on this campus Aren’t real They smile in your face And talk behind your back I always thought It would not be like that I know at this school there are no guys So why do females look at me and roll their eyes I am not one to call you out of your name But if that’s how you act You are one in the same With a female dog And all those other words I know you know them Cause they have all been heard I can’t understand why you don’t know me And yet you judge me And then walk around like you don’t like me I hope you don’t think that you’re all that Because as far as I can tell you aren’t doing all that well What’s the cause for you to hate I know I’m not all that But I’m as real as they come And I thank my girls for that Stop trying to be fine Nobody is looking at your behind And the way people here act I have to watch out for mine So when you see me You don’t have to speak Hell I may not speak back As far as I am concerned I don’t even need you for that But if you have never spoken to me And probably never will Keep your smart comments to yourself And let me keep it real.
