My Youthful Stride
Every time I try to climb two steps forward in my life
I get knocked back 5 more behind
I just want to make sense of this
How can a man survive against time
If flying is a achievement that he can never win
Like trying to be free from an unforgiven sin
But im a striving man
When I fall deep I always get out of the quick sand
You can't have goals without dreams
you can't expect something to stay together without a sem
I want to lose all hope in me, this young black man
But in my spirit that won't stand
So for the youth that may feel this way
Understand that if you are focused
And you have a belief
You will manage to get that achievement one day
Notice that you only have to options to be a strong young man or woman
To fly with wings or without them
Its up to you to decide
Know that it will effect your entire life
