I won't be the same person I was yesterday
today I'll live every dream I ever had
I'll be the best father my son or daughter will have
I'll use every gift I was given for the good of society
I'll show every woman I encounter
that I have a sweet kind hearted side of me
I'll tell everybody that ask
why I keep my right fist in the sky
for all my oppressed ancestors
so now I gotta lyrically cry
I won't let the felony I have
stop me from living my dreams
I'm living for a purpose even
though to the streets I lost my team
I'll be the man society said I couldn't
keeping the word of God faithfully in my right bosom
I won't look to my past wit no remorse
as much as it hurts I gotta move forward
I'll show love for all my brothers & sisters
no matter the race
even though racism still exist
I won't live making the same mistakes
I'll change my image
shut my mouth sometimes & just listen
stop regretting my past
and start taking the good with the bad
I'll look to God for all
wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
the kind you can't get from a 4-6 year college
