Glow Up
I started off, had nothing in my corner
Single mother 1 brother
Pops was here and there
He never was fully there to show how he cared
The streets started to call my name
Living in poverty, I was ashamed
I had to find a way to make light of it
Opportunities, they gonna come my way
Stay humble and keep your head up
You always have god right by your side to pray
Til One day that opportunity i was praying for changed my life
I met this guy who became my mentor and it gave me light
I was able to strive through the darkness
Get pass all the struggles
Do all the things they said I couldn't
And remember to always stay HUMBLE
