I was that guy...But Now

Location

i was the guy sell you anything under the sky

i was that guy that if i didn't have it, id take it

i was that guy to fight cause you looked at me wrong

i was that guy that would make you cross the street as you saw me come down the other side

i was Big and Black and Brutal...

Now Im a scholar

Now i leave a healthy lifestyle

Now Im active in every Positive youth organization around

I decided to change after a lost of three friends

I decided that they wouldn't die in vain

Im dedicated to being sucessful beyond the area i was condemed to die in

I am Qiyamah which means resurrection and i'll do just that

I am the light that shall show you that you dont have to make my mistakes

You dont have to feel my pain

You don't have to be ashamed

All you have to do is let down your guard

put down your gun

Pick up your books, and block out the negativity

Breath in your new you all while you breath in th new Me...
