Life
Am I a victim to this life I live?
Or maybe it's pay back for what I did in my past life
Where is this road you've been telling us to follow?
My heart continues to remain hollow
You said you got a goal for all of us
But what was the goals to those kids in poverty homes
From generations of killing each other
The sky's the limit but I don't think they were thrown a bone
I cherish you, I worship you
But sometimes I don't understand why
Why you make my dad be a crip and barely be in my life
Why you make my mom come from the worst and still be my biggest fan
Why you make me this unique kid
I'm 18 now
My ignorance still remains bliss
My innocence quickly shurikens
You helped me when no one else could
If i'm going the wrong way forgive me for being misunderstood
I don't fully know you for you but i'm gonna continue to learn
I come out my pool of pity
To start a new legacy
Legacy my family's going to yearn
I went through every emotion
Every...Single...One
It's not a lap it's a marathon
I may be last but i'm speeding up
Whisper my accomplishments
Yell my failures
Sit back and watch all their dominoes fall
I know you been listen to my prayers
I won't be at the bottom for so long
