I'm tired of planting seeds
I wanna see them fruiting trees
But would you get down on your knees
To make your ego small as a bumblebee?
I need you to pollinate these ideas for me
funny how im over a hundred miles from home
yet when i see a scholarship
i remember why i came to school
Yes im from the guttered of the gutter
Does that mean i deserve bread, no butter
Just because i started off low classs
Doesnt mean i wont one day toast to success
with a high quality glass
All persons must go their own ways, All people must do their own thing.
For we can not predict or hope, To follow the path of the winds.
They will twist and turn you inside out, Like the tides of the Tempest's sea.
Times were hard from the day of my birth.
I have a father who didn’t know my worth.
While I was being born he stole from my mother. Was high as a kite chilling with his brother.
WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO BE SO DIFFICULT WHEN ONE TRIES TO DO GOOD BUT SO EASY WHEN ONE IS DOING WRONG? WHY IS IT HARD FOR PEOPLE TO HOLD ON TO THE LITTLE GOOD THEY ALREADY HAVE TODAY?
I feel so sick
My insides are crying
My brain hurts, I'm dying
I'm trying
No progress, and no success
Wheres the time and effort, I've lost my best
I'm gained more stress
Got too much things on chest
These bones were made for breaking
and with this world full of greed,
No wonder it seems everything is shaking,
destroyed with no seed.
Take heed my young valiant and do the right thing,
