Just Me

Written By:  D. Collins 7/30/25



A heart from New Orleans.
A soul in South Central L.A.
Regardless of what anyone thinks.
That is who I am today.


I feel good in my skin for what I've done.
Beat the odds of most brothers where I'm from.
I've been fortunate enough to live a full life.
Get to where I've gotten through all the strife.
