My Life
I.
When i was 7 my cousin Killed someone
I didn't know why he did it
I cry sometimes when i think about it
He killed someone with older men
He was 15 so he didn't go to jail
My family was sad everyday
The Day he went to court
I Prayed for the best
I put it in god’s hand
And let him finish it off.
He walked out the courtroom with a bulletproof vest
His hands was behind his back
The judge said he gets 50 years
I Felt sick to my stomach and cried
I heard lots of crying that's what i mostly heard
My family walked out and said nun
II.
My Role model is in jail
Took in more that i can handle
I wish we could get him out
But we can send him a letter
I want follow his footsteps
Imma Live with better steps
Imma Do great untill i die
Imma be great
I Have me a job
I have me a car
I'm in school doing good
I'm not going to follow his footsteps
My cousin in a hole
He can't have a regular life
He can't sleep in a regular bed
He wasn't ate regular food in so long.
My LIfe isn’t Perfect
It’s Lots of down falls
But at the end of they the day through it all
My journey is now
I want let you down
Imma keep my self up
10 toes on the grown
Self inflicted is what i am
I se whats going on
I know that it's not good
And i know that it's wrong
Life is a movie
You live it in your life
It depends on how you carry through
Or if you going to fight
I think about my cousin a lot
When i do the tears drop
Sometimes i have to make them stop
I cry so much i need a mop
Sometimes i wonder is he going to hell
Or ill wonder is he going to heaven
i ' l l just leave that in to god's hand
Cause god determine everything
Thinking bout my past
I wasn't perfect
But i want regert
Because it was worth it
EVeryday god wakes me up
I say my prayers
I have to thank him for another day
Cause every day isnt promised
I'm not barack obama
But i'm black and successful
I will make my family proud
I will amount to something
Life is like a spoon
It will be useful it just depends
On how you use it
Just don't disrespect it
