Listen to me
I’m tired of all the games
I’m ready to step out and expand my name
I’m destined for a change
Been through so much I deserve some fame
I deserve to live
I deserve to love
I deserve to hope
I crave this dream bigger than what my imagination seems
But I ask myself what is my dream?
Do I write these words to express my pain
Or do I push it away and call His name
Am I meant to build in the engineering field
Or am I meant to lay in some ally way
Only 17
But have more thoughts than the English Queen
But it’s not what it seems
Cause I got people behind my back
I got people to my front
I got people by my side
Yet the only person I see is myself
The battles I face are in my head
Lying in the dark weeping in my bed
It’s not the way life should be
But one day you will be set free
Until that day
You either cry and lay
Or face life and find a way
