The Way Things Are

When I was a kid, I acted like one

Just did things so I could have fun

At the time there was nothing wrong with it

Although I would get into trouble, just a bit

As I got older, my mindset began to alter

And there were time when I would definitely falter

My Mom was always there to help me up, and still is

To me she's just like the Wiz

Now that I'm in college, education is my top priority

Although some times, people don't want to hear the full story

No matter what I do, I know God and my family got my back

As long as I got them behind me, I will never crack
