Who knew one year could do so much?

Last year, a senior in high school waiting to grow up,

Had friends and people that I used to call my “Big Bros”

After we graduate I see that we went on different roads.

But I can’t let it faze me

Because if I did it would drive me crazy

Because I was the type when it comes to relations

I would be thinking “what could I have done to save it?”

But I realize that I got to keep moving, life keeps going

Because I can’t look back in the past and just live in the moment

Because if I do then I’ll lose focus

On my education and that has my utmost importance,

I was young thinking I could be what I want

Until I saw my people being attacked and harassed by these dirty cops,

These are the same people who supposed to serve and protect

Now I’m worried will I be next?

I thought racism was over I thought it was done to death

Then I threw that out the window when I heard who’s the next president.

The Guilty lives on as the innocent dies

Is this really the dream for American Life?

Is this the future our ancestors wanted us to live in?

Because if this is I doubt I’m gonna be having children.

Today’s generations we place looks over morals and manners

When they read this they would think i have all the answers.

But I don’t have all the answers I just go with the life’s flow

My mom taught me to stay humble she never placed me on a high horse.

At the end of the day this year has taught me

Don’t be like your dad paying child support when your 43

Forget the negative and try to bring in some positivity

Who would’ve thought a year would make me into the man I always wanted to be?
