My Youthful Stride

Every time I try to climb two steps forward in my life I get knocked back 5 more behind I just want to make sense of this How can a man survive against time If flying is a achievement that he can never win Like trying to be free from an unforgiven sin But im a striving man When I fall deep I always get out of the quick sand You can't have goals without dreams you can't expect something to stay together without a sem I want to lose all hope in me, this young black man But in my spirit that won't stand So for the youth that may feel this way Understand that if you are focused And you have a belief You will manage to get that achievement one day Notice that you only have to options to be a strong young man or woman To fly with wings or without them Its up to you to decide Know that it will effect your entire life
