The Truest Eyes
Growing up in the ghetto
I pushed the pedal to the medal
Thinking the drama was cool
Fighting was smooth
I was a fool
To believe that was true
Moving to the burbs
I learned to kick that to the curb
Now I reach for the stars
Hope the drama looks far
Pursuing my dreams
By any and all means
A defense attorney
Is whom I shall be
Encouring the youth who used to be like me
Never to become my old self
