RIP to the WORLD
1.02k
RIP to this world and what it used to be.
To growing up in the hood where all the elders had a piece in raising the youth.
RIP to hopskoch & the handball courts that have been replaced by cell phones, social media and selfies.
RIP to the house parties where the music played loud and the sounds of music vibrated from one roof top to another.
RIP to the roller skating rinks down the block and the best pizza shops that have been replaced by PS4 and couches under the blasting AC.
RIP to sitting on the sidewalk and stoops to shoot the breeze because bullets fly across the streets aimlessly.
RIP to all the youth who have lost their life senselessly without living the WORLD that was once full of peace.
