I am... Trapped


Deep down I know what is right, deep with in I know what is wrong

Time and Time agan they tell me to try again but haven't I been trying to long

To long, so long, so long, way long

Blues on, good mood, bad mood, sad song

Why do I feel trapped, Why why why?

I am just a guy... 

A guy who took education more than serious than his peers

Now every time i mention college around them this is what I hear..

"You're never gonna' make it, it's to hard, give it up"

"Drop out, take a different route, lets live it up"

"lets buy cars and clothes women love fancy wardrobes"

And I simply reply with a question.. Me giving up college? NO!

I feel trapped around the wrong crowd but I trapped myself

They chose to sit around and watch while I took major steps

Trapped in the thought of graduating and obtaining a degree

Trapped in being the best I can me

Trapped behind the front of the line which might not make sense to you but see that makes sense to me

Trapped behind the walls of school which I love to be

Trapped above the thought of defeat

Trapped outside of society til my life is complete...

I am........ Trapped within me
