It Is What It Is

Never mind what they think, ima do me.
so its Ur opinion, i don't have to accept it.
who cares if i don't meet Ur standers, i'm not going to lower mine.
so what, i don't wear designer clothing,
my swag isn't yours.
and so what if i don't wear the name brand shoes; you'll never know where these feet
has traveled.
Sometimes i may wear shades, 
Its only to block the sun.
i do walk with my head high,
cause i'm not ashamed.
I'm not shame of 
who i am 
where i came from
what i did.
life is all about 
living
learning 
loving & laughter. 
With that
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
