Frounting

One thing u need 2 know about living in NEW York is if u have a 20 that ---- aint going even last 
until the next day cause u have to frount like u don't need it even though u do. Frounting is what 
we do. We frount like we don't care... we front like ---- don't bother us... we frount like we have 
no hearts at all. It's hard to reveal the truth from the fake. It's hard to know who's frounting from 
who aint. We frount like we stunting. We frount like we video girls and models. We frount like 
the ----- is tightly closed when we all know some of yall done been opened them legs. We either 
frount like we innocent or we frount like we promiscious. Either way we frount. So many of us 
are so caught up in this game that we start to deteriorate. No friendships made. It's not until you 
truly reveal the real you that you can make true connections. But there are few out there who 
aren't just in it for the appearance. You have to appear like everythings all good... but it doesn't 
hurt to shed a couple of tears. So the ---- what if the public can see us... it only shows that your 
human. I'm not into frounting what u see on the outside may not be what you see on the inside 
but you have to break through get to know my inner jewels. I can't get by in this world without a 
little frounting involved and that's sad to know. When will all the frounting stop. That's just what I 
want to know?
