Realization
One minute im standing on this road
Not knowing where to go
Im breaking the rules and running from
law
Ignoring my dad and dissin my ma
I tired so many times to make things right
To shead some light
On my personal fight
To find a reason to want to live
But every time i did
I never win
Till i woke up one day
With a choice to make
You make success
Or end up dead
So i chose success
Though i failed so many times
I still got up just to try
To find my peace
And pave my path
Even though i may not be that great at
math
I see a bigger equation
That i should follow
And if i dont find the answer
I will start again
Cuz i know i can
Be anything i say i am
With a few years down
Im better now
Im waking up
And its funny how
Im living a life
With a fiance, a kid, and car
I guess this how its suppose to be
Happy or not im doing me
And if you feel the need to criticize me
Just look at my life
How far I've come
And you'll never believe
This beautiful girl
Who was lost in the world
But brought herself back
With not more to say
As im on my way
Im saying goodbye to yesterday
