 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I was born by a gully
I mean that more mentally than hyperbole
See, what I know of August town is that it radiates heat like perpetual summer
Like the block is hot
Like shottas wasn't a movie but an heirloom
And badmon bad mind gets handed down like the American dream manifesto in public schools
Like school takes places in the streets and school houses house recess
Cause street smart counts for ninety percent and life don't grade on a curve
Like, don't run thru the burbs wearing the wrong skin in America
Like, don't exist in the hood at the wrong time
Like broken clocks when there's only two right times and it's never right now
One gully exchanged for a new one and the credits transferred
But I was so sheltered and a little short on street cred
What I learned at recess is that
A child born poor is a tragedy
Resilience equals win the day times hustle hard
Ingenuity is more than the sum of the opportunities it meets
Poverty unremedied, turned on its side looks a lot like culture
Poor with a twist is a delicacy where the rich are
It's easy to become addicted to drama
And struggle meals turned favorite meals isn't tradition it's trauma
But I wanna live like what was isn't what has to be
Like the apple can produce more fruit than the tree
Like hard knock life was elective and not my major
I wanna live major, humbly
Like wild dreams needs no sweet dream to see me
I wanna see me with long grey braids and age that looks like the love child of black don't crack and life well lived
No corners left to clock no clocks left to punch, no punches left to throw, a picture of Well done
I wanna live like rocking chairs on the wrap around porch of the house I built on the land I bought is the new Generational norm
Like be not weary
Like it's due season
Like sower turned reaper
Like it's the day to day climb that turns born again into new creature
I wanna live like, His grace is sufficient
I wanna feel like created in his image
Like speak to the mountain
Like water turned walk way
Like, rise up and walk
Like, but on the third day
I wanna live like Sunday is a spirit and peace is my only option
Because peace, is my only option
