DON'T GET STUCK You'll Be The Only One Keeping It Real Part 2 By Shawn Harris

Don't get "STUCK" being in prison is getting STUCK. It's like quicksand. STUCK. I've been stuck for over 9490 days, that's 26 years in on a life sentence. STUCK! Standing still, STUCK. And if you come here you'll be STUCK too. But your girl will move on to the next street figure wit drip. She will move on. Your bros will move on. You will stand still, STUCK, frozen in time and the world keeps spinning & moving. Moms will move on. Sisters move on. Kids & friends grow up & move on. Styles change & move on, new drip, new whips, bikes & trucks, but dudes in prison remain STUCK. This ain’t for you. Stay free. Don't play FREEZE TAG with the police, with the courts, with youth homes, with placement centers, parole & probation officers. Because if they TAG YOU WITH A CRIMINAL CASE, you"ll be STUCK in here locked down forever. No guns & video games. No money, Air Jordans & Designer Jeans. Life is over.

Don't get STUCK. Stay free. Your life is not a game. You can't hit the reset button if you catch a Criminal Case. You can't push reset if you die. If you die while committing a criminal act, you're STUCK! STUCK in a box. STUCK in the ground. Can't you see it? Don't you understand? The coffin is the box. A prison cell is a box. I don't want you to end up like this.

Real talk, true story. I know a guy in here, a 22yr. old young man. Loyal & true to his hood. He always kept it real for his hood. He's put in "work" for his hood. He & his Homeboys have fought in the name of his hood. Shot & been shot,shed blood sweat & tears for his Homeboys, for the hood. One night they got caught up in a home invasion/robbery gone bad. At the police station, he kept it real, he took the blame so his Homeboys could walk free. Once he got convicted & sent to prison, his family suffered. There wasn't any extra money around. Without school clothes, his brother & sister's grades dropped. His sister got pregnant. Bills went unpaid. His mom became sad & depressed. She started drinking & doing dope. Sometimes she prostituted herself. She traded sex for drugs, and guess who was sexing her? His Homeboys, all four of them. His so- called “friends" were having group sex with his mama. Feeding her poison & tricking with her in the house he grew up in, in the hood he grew in putting in "work" for. And he's in here mad as hell & ain't nothing he can do about it. Because he's STUCK! STUCK in here with me. Because the hood &his Homeboys used him up & shit him out. He was the only one keeping it real. Staying loyal to Bros who ain't loyal to him. He stayed true to those who weren't true to him.
