So im growing up
looking at the times that have passed me by
the hard times that made me weak
and the good times that made me strong
Wondering how i've made it this far without giving up
somedays i think to myself how much longer can i go on in this life
so much in the way of what i want to be doing
so many obstacles obsrtucting my path
i wonder how my mother managed through the years
she has 40 years on me and her life has been nothign but hell
yet she still lives on and hasnt given up.
Do i have it in me to last 40 more years
i close my eyes and cant imagine myself growing old and wrinkled
since i was small i always felt that i'd die young
that i'd one day look up and there was a bus, a car or a bullet
never had anything to do with my surroundings
yeah i grew up in the Projects but my mother protected me from all of the violence
it was just like when youre young and you say i want to have a family and get married
you get that far off gaze and you can imagine life when you get older
all i saw was darkness
never could imagine a big house and picket fence
Now here i stand at 23
most would say im still young and have lots to live for
and i still have so many things i would like to fullfill
and the only thing i can do is hope to get stronger
strong enough to hold on
strong enough to make it to where i rightfully belong
because although i always felt as though i couldnt last on this world forever
i also knew i was destined for greatness
that my mind is a force and full of power
that anyhting i want i can have
and that if i wanted to i can live forever
i am something like the world has never seen
and something it is not prepared for
because once i get on my set path
i'll never let my feet stop moving
until they are covered in caluses, cracked and bleeding
the only thing i can do is be Amazing
