Prodigee

1 It's been 12 months and i’ve taken my first steps

Little did I know each one meant something

2 I was terrible to know right from wrong and wrong from right

Then came left

3 Every night mommy and daddy would tuck me in tight

Scared away the monster and kiss me goodnight

4 Was double the trouble

5 I learned to be humble

Then 6

7

8

Finally,

I turned 9

I was asked who I wanted to be not what I wanted to be

I was told to follow in your footsteps all the time

Which lead me to your dreams not mine

10 Big number Big expectations and it's all depended on me

11 I wished every night that you could see how much I was trying

to show you what I could be

12 I finally realized my dream were slowly dying

13 felt grown up no longer a pre teen but you seen me not as your spittin image

But a chance to finish what you started

Not once did you think it was cold hearted

 

14 depression knew my name

Being who you want me to be is the blame

Never asked if i felt the same

Always assumed my dreams were lame

 

15 I wanted to be the one that made you proud

All my life i've cried out loud

But I was just a show to your crowd

16 I never knew how to speak because you were always my voice

I never knew what freedom was or to have my own choice

17 All i wanted was

But to you i was never enough

So i learned to be tuff

 

18 Quitting was a joke never was the answer

Till i learned how to smoke

It not only blew away my stress

But it helped me pass the test

19 I finally did it

I walked 5 thousand miles just for you to smile and see me in that cap and gown

I promised i wouldn't let you down

20

I'm all grown up.

I came to realize i'll never be who you want me to be

But ima be who i wanna be for me

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues

But I tried and earned bruises

And you'll never realize how much i was trying

The only person i was lying to was myself

Anxiety took over depression

I met him when I was Ten

All I wanted is for you to be proud

But my voice was never allowed

 

12 Months back again

21 feels like a win

I got a vision that no one else can see

She looks up to me and ask how i did it

How did I become me I said

To remember who you are you need to forget what they told you to be
