Crooked Smile
Life isn't about finding yourself
Life is about creating yourself
It gets hard
Living in a world that's wrapped up in a system that we didn't create
Leaving generations and generations to be to pay for the past mistakes
Its a repeating cycle that needs to break
As a young girl I witnessed a lot
Domestic Violence especially
Seem as though it wouldn't stop
No child should ever have to experience a parents divorce
A scar in the heart and got deeper even more
That's when the world in my eyes began to change
Music to my ears didn't even sound the same
Its more to life than looks and wealth
Getting an Education is only the key
It's the only way out if you can open up your eyes and see
Textbooks only tell students in the classroom what they want to know
I do my own research and when I speak it show
History repeats itself because not everyone unerstand
Which leave choices in your own hands
Living day by day may get hard
But keeping hope and prayers
Assures that everything will be okay
We get so caught up in reaching our destination
But forget to enjoy our journey on the way
If you believe in yourself and turn negatives into a motive
You'll soon realize
Regardless of what you go or been through
Everything will be fine
Remember you're not the only one who face hard times
Keep that in mind
Life is what you make it
Push, Strive and Believe
With those three concepts
You will always Achieve
