Hey, I liked your post
It was better than most
I respect your thoughts
I think you deserve the right to boast
But I'd like to put in a word in for the real deal I have
It starts with my present, my future, and my horrible past
Ima honor student but i went through hell to get here
I cant turn back, I gotta do my best for four years
dont work hard for the fame, I work hard for my future
to give my kids that life that always seemed so cuter
to fill out the dreams of all my enslaved ancestors
so I can do something that'll make things a little better
than hustlin on that corner tryin to get that chettar
damn right I sweat blood tryina get that letter
but I do that to prove all those wrong who thought I could do it never
but I never forget where I came from and what I've gone through
from battleing my own world to seein angels too
I've almost died somemany times I cant rememba
but it was the devil tryin to take my out with the asthma
that had been passed to me from my dad and my mama
I am constantly broken down but built up again to stand tall
by god himself, he wont let me fall
my real deal is to prove to all
that I am not a nobody or somebody small
I'll do whatever it takes, I'll even break through a brick wall
theres nothing that'll stop my from my dream
but its not all about me like what it seems
I daily think about everyone else like me
cuz the world isn't viewed from the eyes of where I see
theres worse people hurting that are always put down
from a mother that witnessed her only child drown
to families eatin trash thrown onto the ground
from people that cant see the world or hear the sound
cuz like kanye west says, "it all falls down"
if only there was enough good living to go arond
Im always thankfull for what I got
and I pray for all the needy people that do not
I pray for those who have to struggle just to get that meal
I pray for those who have mental scars that will not heal
I pray for those that really need the help for real
I pray for everyone that has to go through the REAL DEAL.
