One Step Closer


Three kids no degree that's suppose to be me                                                                        Stereotyped  by society might just be the death of me                                                                          How could they know what god has in store for me?                                                                                Living in a world that doesn't accept me for me                                                                                    Little did they know or you know I hold the key!

This is what i am going to  be...                                                                                                               The next pediatrician caring for your sick child                                                                                          The one you call to a photo shoot to approve your style                                                                           I know my 3.75  gpa , my black race , and my female gender drives you wild                                                                                                                                                       But I am here to buckle down stereotypes and make my family proud!

I am one step closer to walking across the Westlake graduation stage proceeding to  UGA                                                                                                                                                        Although I've made a couple of teenage mistakes                                                                                 My mindset never changed                                                                                                                 Don't ever let society Catergorize or stop you from getting closer to your dreams               

We are all one step closer                                                                                                                      More than you'll ever think
