Roteshia Mcghee Poet Couplet

"im Not"

People don't know who I really am
Im not about the fortune, the fame, or the glam.

I'm not about that he said she said drama
Im not on you or your baby's mama.

I'm not about playing games, I am for real
I'm not about telling lies on how I feel.

I'm not about stressing, I'm about living my life
I'm not about rushing, I'm about taking my time.

I'm not about smoking, I'm not about drinking
I'm about focusing, I'm about thinking.

I'm not about failing, I'm about believing
I'm not about following, I'm about leading.

I'm not about losing, I'm about winning
I'm not about the end, I'm about the BEGINNING!
