18 years
Took me 18 years to relaize
my purpose is to inspire and pour into my community
Not talking just aisquith and eager
But Baltimore
When I look into the crowd i'll prolly
never see my family
the ones that "made me"
But i'll see hopeful faces
Hanging on to every word
waiting on reienforcement
Well here it go
I kicked so many doors off the hinges
that my feet hurt
I have NEVER raced defeat
I have accomplished so many things
that havent made my resume
like self love and mental stability
The world will always judge you
Is what i have to tell myself
I critize myself harder than the people
who get PAID to critique everyone else
No hype
I became a woman tonight
I'm working to perfect me
To be the role model i wanted to see
I have lost many pieces of me
I can no longer love
broken people and broken men
I have planted many seeds in my life
some have weathered the rest will now flourish
I've been trying to paint this perfect picture
let's be honest im running out of ink
Bur then I think of tomorrow
I'm reminded that there will be a new lesson
Like an new update
What i learned was
theres beauty in this struggle
For my experiences prepared me to rock the mic
I learned that you find your inner beauty
When you actually embrace your flaws
I tell the people stop thinking that you're GOD
I steadfast on my beliefs
For we are all one in the same
Im just a Lost Shakur
trying to get you to know my NAME
By telling the Tales of my life
I give you my blood, sweat, and tears
To Prove
I've made it through 18 yrs
