Why Try


I try to make my parents and have a big carreer by staying in school

I try to get my GPA up to a 3.0 just to get the hope scholarship

I try my hardest to find a job to become an independent adult

Just to come out of school without your dream job, 

Just to have the school say i should have recieved a 3.0 a semester earlier

Just to have every job in sight turn you down, which in turn makes you an dependent child

I try so hard, just to get knocked back down

So Why Try
