Many people know my story
Many people know my story but know how it started,
growing up as a child I can't say that I enjoyed it,
Living in a home it wa just me and my mother,
No real man in the house all we had was each other,
My mom steady working and gone all night,
So I started doing things that I knew wasn't right,
Being blinded by all the smoke there was no way I could see,
Went from making all A's to making straight D's,
The so called friends that I had they didn't no hope,
Only left with 2 choices go to the pin or sell dope.
A lot of this seems fake but yet it was real,
my mom sacrificed it all even if it meant giving me her last meal,
when things started getting worse I jsut got down on my knees,
started calling out my God sayign Lord help me please,
Eventually I got away, and my life changed forever,
My Uncle and Aunt took me in for the good and for the better,
Living in Florida I can admit it was fun,
But my journey wasn't over ithad really just begun,
Then we moved to Texas awe man what a bummer,
couldn't stand all the heat the drought lasted all summer.
Moved to Pflugerville, and started Pflugerville high as a freshman
trying to get myself together and make a good first impression
Before I evenknew it the school year had ended,
went from barely passing my state exam to being recommended.
I changed schools one more time, and this time HHS
home of the hawk nation better than all the rest.
I've made a lot of great friends and memories over the last 3 years
looking back where I started brings me to tears.
No matter how many seniors I know talk about school and how they hate it,
When all of Class of 2015 walk across that stage we can finally say we made it.
