The Better One
Everybody has heard
The moving to another country for a better future
It isn't easy is what they say
But they were still on their way
Huffing and puffing on their journey through
And in their minds they say ''all for you''
When they look at their children they see hope
Yet to their surprise some would be on dope
Out of all the U.S.
We were unfortunate enough to end in the east most dangerous
Most nights she would pray
My mother would say keep the danger away
Never home always working
My father would come home,hands and body overloading
Everday i remembered how stressed you would be
Just to feed your children knowing well you weren't blessed as we grew up to see
We may have our struggles but let's be honest we aren't the only ones
Over half of the world is having it way worse than us
I will make both of you proud i promise you that
I know that most of my siblings have not coverd your backs
Not because i was assigned to you i will give you my love
You have given up for me way more than just your freedom
I hope one day i will do the same but for now i just need to walk the stage
For now i do wish you understand i wouldn't know your struggle as a child trying to comprehend
I've heard your stories but its nothing i can relate
You two are the only ones i will take that journey for
Know that i am making a better future for myself to make up for the life you couldn't end up with
Make your huffing and puffing worth the weight
Having a great future here in the U.S.
My one goal is to create a life myself
Start that cycle so they can become the better one.
