I am from a family that  always doubting each other

Instead of congratulating one another

I am from a mother that don't play

and a father that play all day

I have siblimgs thats loveable

and sometimes unstandable

 

I am from north Phialdelphia

But logan is where I was raised

Where u didn't have to worry about going out to play

Because everyone got down that way

 

I am a child with a twin brother

Thats get treaed like the queen

and I am one of the slaves

I am from a mother that couldn't take care of me 

so I went with an aunt who cared for me

 

I am from a house where I did everything 

and I was only at the age of 11

I am from fried chicken and collard greens 

corn and you can not forget the peas.

 

I am from a family with a lot of kids

where most don't get along

 I am from a family where grown kids ge beat

and learn that the old folks don't take no heat

 

I am from a family where most don't graduate

but I had to change it and make my main goal to graduate

I felt that school is imporant for my future

and there is nothing you can do withou it

 

I am from a hard working family

that never takes breaks

and made a alot of mistakes 

I am from a women 

who was the back bone of everythig.
