Highschool

yea I’m in  high school living daily by the rules while the others are 

doing stuff that they think is cool they always claim the teachers are 

cruel but really they are just trying to help us young ones make it 

through some kids run from the truth due to the life they have been put 

through some parents don’t give a crap or two but some blessed

deny the fact that parents are there to see you through I’m writing 

this verse from me to you some kids raised in the ghetto have a 

place where morals don’t fit in their schedule all you have to do is 

is fight to strive for anything you believe and be wiling to achieve

willing to succeed you just have to believe you can whoever you 

want to be we shouldn’t play with our grades like it’s a game but 

wanting our education to build into a career one day some of yall 

are focused on the wrong thing the ig and twitter names are  nothing

but a game  yall talk 24/7 about money, dope, and fame  but yall need

to focus on the right thing just put your mind to it and you can be 

anything  once again I say yea I’m just the average kid in high school

just trying to find my way
