Am I getting OLD?

Sup folks...

Why I try to holla at this shorty the other day and she tell me that she's 17... I'm like DANG!!

Well, you look 30, you young bama!!! Either you had a ROUGH LIFE ... or I been out the game a lil bit. And NO you can't borrow my solja boy CD...

Its funny but .. really, why our young folks look so old these days?

And I’m not just talking about the physical growth and maturity… From many that I’ve seen, it looks like they are living rough lives. Like you can see it in their eyes and their facial expressions.

Are the teenage years nowadays that rough on our young folks?

What can we do to help?
Or.. is it just me?

U Right Dad

i should have had a dad... :-(

cuz if so…

we'd be talking about women sometimes
and he'd say something like
"Son, betta leave dem jokers alone, dey trouble'
he’d laugh and explain
I'd bounce my head
while smacking my teeth
grit, and then say
"yeah u right dad"
then i'd pick up the remote control
being a better man
and we'd both watch the game
