A Flower Planted in December
I was born in December of 96
A winter baby indeed
I am left handed, so strange as being the first girl to mommy
Three big brothers a father and a momma, but never a full house
So to prosper was a must
11 months later comes my Irish twin
My baby brother is my right hand mans
Its funny how I used to "Hate him"
but as we got older our bond stronger
I swear it feels like I made him
Grew up in the projects where the artist werent artist and the paint was blood
the brush as a gun
and the pastel as the young angels
Never knew poverty was a struggle because I wanted for nothing
High honor roll, lunch with the mayor
exceeding test scores, school was my major
Somehow I still couldnt escape the statistics of a young black girl
born and raised in the 3rd world
A flower cant grow without soil, remember?
So I made my own foundation
Even though I get unfocoused
My main focus is to make it to post-secondary schooling
graduate with a couple of majors
Make six figures and then some
Then maybe, just maybe
The sun will shine much brighter on the flower that was planted in December
