I live for her


Plenty of people forget to show love for the ones that brought them on this very earth

My mother for example deserves every penny that I'm worth,

With little to give and no father figure in hand

She did everything she could to transform a boy into a man,

The apple to my tree and the air that I breathe

She gave it all to me and this is why I must succeed,

Dreaming so big that I can't fit my shoe

Because I don't live for just one

I live for two.
