I Survived/ You Helped
Education is the key to life when there’s no reason to be on the corner under street lights. My mind needs elevation to further my level of education and my perseverance to strive further for the best makes me different from the rest. When there’s nothing to do after high school, either be a leader or a fool, I’d rather be a educated sista’ then to just be known as cool. I see my generation struggle everyday because of the drama on top of the drama they make from their own mistakes, but today, for me, god has made a way. I know I can do, I have confidence in myself, but because I’m not perfect, family and friends are a big help. So when I go to school, and my family and friends watch me complete, and know that in life, I accomplished a lot in a leap, Ill know that there’s nothing I can’t defeat.
