2016, What a year to be alive!
2016, What a year to be alive
Shoutout to Future, I don’t think those lyrics will ever die
Because you should thank God everyday to be alive
2016, What a year to be alive
It’s also the year some all time greats died
Ali, Bowie, Glenn, …
They used to change the world one day at a time
These events made me realize how precious life is
It’s not something to take for granted
The events of 2016 really changed my life
Police brutality made me realize
That I am truly lucky to be alive
Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, ... They were all precious in God's eyes
I became aware that life is truly rare
But, most people truly don’t realize it or they just don't care
“One nation under god” that’s a lie because this nation is corrupt
People really treat people differently because of a few little differences
Yeah, I know the life of the black man is really tough
And it’s not gonna get any better with a man named Donald J Trump
With the inauguration tomorrow this is the last day these lyrics will be true
“My President is Black, My Lambo’s Blue”
However Trump still deserves a fair pursuit
Who knows? Donald J Trump might change some people’s point of view
2016 might have been rough but at least it motivated me to want to change some stuff
Enough with all the sad 2016 was not all that bad
The Cavs came back on the Warriors and I could not have been more glad
Villanova beat North Carolina and for Jordan a few tears might had been shed
My family and I grew even closer in 2016
My cousin got her degree in a system that’s not built for minorities to succeed
An african american female designing roads and bridges, WOW!
This could not make her little cousin more proud
Not only does this make me proud but it makes me want to be something now
With all this pinned up motivation there’s nothing that can stop now
I’m just a young black minority trying to make his family proud
This poem might not have the best rhyme
But the words and the thought still deserve a prize
I hope these words will become forever engraved in your mind
