The Art of Determination


Walking through crowded Times Square 

Look left, look right, there are billboards everywhere

The colors the imagery throws me off beat 

One day my designs will plaster these streets

I am inspired and determined I fall in love 

I know I need to go to school, just give me a shove 

I stay home college is to much you pay for a degree

But designing is the only thing that calms and completes me 

I am determined, I need this, I have to become the best

I get into art school design every moment, never to take a rest

One day it will all come together I know I wont regret it

Ill walk down those streets and see my work, I most commit

Ill graduate and see my family smile from their seats

Ill be the first to do this, and that is something you cant beat

I wont be in debt like my family has their entire existence

I will see my work in New York streets in the distance

I will break the sterotype of my family I will not be a house wife

 

Cant you see One Job May Change My Life.
