The Teenage Life  Life What is life      You was born 7 pounds and 11 ounces A beautiful baby happy and bouncing Glowing melanin skin and big almond eyes Your mother and father hold you with tears of joys in their eyes And they say “welcome to this world it's full of surprises, We’ll help you succeed while we're always beside ya And from right there on life begins  Days pass, your head filled with hair Your mouth has some teeth, still with gaps of air Now you're walking, running, hiding and playing games Making your parent chase after you, tripping over things causing them painIt's okay though, because you're young But once you get older, you're life has truly begun   You're now older and in high school Getting ready to face the many obstacles that you may have gone throughBut honestly in reality that just how it is, Kids are just kids they're not not gonna care, butYou got haters on your back, shake them off and show them how tough you are Yeah that's right ain't nobody telling me what Imma stand up tall and show you what I got Beating them off, swing, knock them off the block You come home and tell your parents about your first day Telling them everything that happened, reminiscing on your own values that happened that day You come back the next day, and you get respect Now they want to be friends and you're now in a clique You get your work done and go to every class You're also a straight A student, you would never let those grades go down to bad CRUSH ALERT CRUSH ALERT!!!
