destined for greatness


I seen a girl about five years old, Try a hold back her lil brothers, Wat she was seeing was an act so cold, Her own father beating on her mother.. As I stood there listening to her scream, All I could see was the look in her brothers eyes, She kept her arms around them and kept herself between, All the anger and violence that surrounded the cries, She held her own that nite and her brother's knew it, They seen so much hatred and flaws, But they knew they'd make it through it, No matter if mommy or daddy lost... Since then, they respect her and not neglect her, Shit, now they'll do anything to protect her, And if mom and dad leave them forever, They know that they'll always be together, Its the hard things that make us and break us, But no matter wat we can't let it shake us, Cruz no matter how little we are... We are destined for greatness!
