Keep it real

Keep it real
Posted By: LaTeresa (Tree) Johnson on May 08, 2005


Ok its 2005 why is it that people cant keep it real? Why is it that when you meet someone they always vlaim the are signle ,but when its comes down to the truth they have somebody? Why is it that when a peson knows they are ugly they want to call themselves fine, handsome, dime or beautiful? Dang just keep it real. Why is it that when you go out on a date a person tells you they have no maoney. Dang if you broke your broke just keep it real. Why males dont want to claim they children? Dang if you have a tribe of children they yours so claim them.



Just keep it real. Why is it that females with weave in their head always want to claim that its theit hair cause they have indian in their family? If you are bold headed you bold headed just keep it real. Now this one really gets me how are you gonna call yourself a pimp or playa when the people you claim to be pimpin is really pimpin you. Dang if you cant plays your cards right just keep it real. You just a wanna be pimp or ply. Like I said before its 2005 and people just need to keep it real. No need to try to claim something your not. Be yourself and just keep it real.

This is so true a lot of people always put on a front to fit in to mainstream society. Those people who try to keep it real often times are made fun of for having their own style or way of doing things. Those who keep it real are often overlooked and passed by for the people who tell lies to keep up a false image. I'm one that has my own style and don't fit in to a box to nicely. I'm a junior in college with a 3.5 GPA with no kids, a job an apartment, and is graudating next spring. With that type of resume I would think that girls would be running me over to talk to me but it is completly opposite. A lot girls falls for shinny things and big lies with no substance behind the pretty picture.
