You can make it Through


Its hard when the grass isnt always green You're expected to turn to the streets But school is the way to be its hard but You can make it through Its hard when everyone around you has A pre-perception of the life u are trying to make your own But others around you have failed as they've grown But you can make it through. Getting that dream career you always wanted wont happen You'll stay in hysteria, because of your Area. Your life determined. Its hard but You can make it through. School you go only because of your mother Success you won't reach because of your Color, so why bother its hard, but you can Make it through. Just know if you rise to the top, all of your Friends will remain on the bottom, you refuse to Not be alone so u should just drop. No! Its hard but You can make it through. Goals you desperstely want to reach, you'll never succeed, Never get that degree, you were born a bottom Feeder you belong to the streets. I know its hard But you can make it through. You should try to be a rapper, just post pix to the gram Encouraged to be a trapper. Violence guns Popular, and very exciting, everyone's fighting Its hard but you can make it through But the truth is you never wanted the streets or the Instagram fame, just to be stable and walk Across that stage. Because when the hood sees you They'll be saying its hard but u made it through!
