A family's shadow

Imagine being in a life of big fame,where your sisters borderline genius, and your brothers big game. And your last name drives the city insane cause they'll do anything to walk in your shoes for one day

sounds great right?

To live in a life where there's few fights cause the haters don't like you but you have people who will give their life just for yo protection,Thats a blessing.....

So whats the problem you ask?

Well...Imagine taking off your mask and showing the world who you really are and who you really want to be,but their a little skeptical about it cause it ain't the vision that they see.See.. they already have an idea of who you are and who you where destined to be, cause the shadow of the name you live in is all they see.

Damn....  so now what?

Do you pretend to be? Exactly what they want,or do you finally open your eyes and stop being blind and start to see? 

This world is all about acceptance,why do I accept the people who don't accept me? see...theres people who love me for me,and I just don't see why we treat the people who have faith in us as if they aren't worth the time that God gave them to fulfill their destiny...

What Im trying to say is,im sick of living in this shadow and pretending that I'm somthing im not. That shit has to stop, I'm ready to live my life and make it to the top my own way. EVEN IF IT MEANS I LOSE MY LIFE TODAY!

at least I tried.....

but it's time to break these chains and free,the music spirit that lives in me

as I become free.....from my family's shadow...
