See I’m in school for one thing.

Not trying to be the coolest kid or play around with my nice shoestrings.

But to me education is my goal.

I work hard every day to the fullest even when I’m old.

To get by in life we have to meet our needs.

And just because apples comes from trees.

We have to plant them using our seeds.

And if you agree that you can make it in life then you will achieve.

I don’t have to be rich.

But I have to be successful.

I’m just trying to live my life.

And be less stressful.

They blame it on the parents.

They blame it on the streets.

They blame it on anybody.

But who could it be.

I blame it on the creatures.

I blame it on the people.

I blame it on the government.

For not making things equal.

See I’m a writer.

I’m a teacher.

I was born to act.

Maybe I can be a preacher.

If you work hard.

It might pay off.

You got to stay focused.

And take no days off.

But every race, black, white, Latino, African.

It all started with a dream believing it could happen.

I mean we all in this earth for a reason.

We have to live life and work hard into our seasons.

Every body’s good at something

There’s some good in you

So I don’t wanna hear you tell me that you can’t do nothing.

Maybe if you forget about the struggles that your going through.

One day when you get older you can be good and start something really new.

But it seems like I try to find my way.

I try to change my path.

I tried a little school but I struggle with my math.

Just remember life isn’t over.

Many people have tips on their shoulders.

I need someone to push me.

Not push me over.
