Those dark brown curls
They got my head going in circles
You've got those mesmerizing light eyes
And your smile makes angles cry
I'm not gonna lie
I want you to be mine
Hold your hand and be by your side
Play with your gold chain
You can call me a fool
But honestly I just took like 40 hits off this juul
So i don't know if any of the **** i just said sounds cool
But I think you and I can be the couple of high school
Maybe if I actually talked to you rather than focusing on not drooling
God, your gorgeous freckles are so appealing
I'm not a fan of your champion backpack but you got me thinking
About romantic ****
I don't even really like lovey ****!
But I wonder if I talked to you
Do you think we'd make it?

Just because
You take precautions
Doesn't mean
I won't break
I probably will, to be honest.

People act like we're homies then they get popular and leave me

Acquaintances always ask me for money so the thought of fame has never phased me

I come from a good family my parents have good jobs

And when I bring coffee to school everyday I get looked at like a snob

But the funny thing is I have my own job so that latte is coming out of my pay

But they don't see that, they only see a girl who gets everything her way

But these people really got it twisted I'm not some rich *****

When I was 8 mom went to a church to get me some free **** for Christmas

When I was 11 mom and I woke up at 5am to hop on buses

And when I was 9 mom thought about going back to her hometown

Staying home from church because mama had to work on sundays

Sleeping in the living room on July 4th because those shots weren't fireworks there's no way

But they only look at me now

Because mom and dad got it sorted out

All three of us have government jobs and I'm not even old enough to have a prom queen crown

But the thing is I'm never going to forget the struggle

Even if the people that barely know me give me trouble

Living in the ghetto for 11 years is something I'll never forget

So when I do blow up, I'll always tell little kids

To never give up on your dreams no matter what they say

When you plan on going up, up is only one way

"Would you just stop pretending please!
Cause you have a little too much money to be so young and that sad"
No one should be told that (that's kinda my whole point.)
I don't get to read
I don't get to write
I just get to fuss
I just get to fight

I watch as he wastes
I watch as he dies
I don't wanna hear excuses
I don't wanna hear lies.

He tells me one story this time
He has a second for someone else
The story changes everytime
I don't know what to buy.

A little lie here,
A big one over there,
Sprinkle with some truth
And you have got a date.

He does not care
For underwear
He does not care
That it's not fair.

Not fair for Roy
Don't be so coy
You went and stole
His brother's toy.

Had no permission
You didn't ask,
Instead you left
Undone the task.

U won't do laundry,
Won't do dishes.
All you do is
Wish for wishes.

We must do his bidding
We must cater to his
Every whim, must be nice!
Wish I were him!

At this point, I never got to sit down and have a moment for myself. My oldest was wasting his life doing nothing.

A loving mother
A rich father
A cute sister and
'caring' friends;

A good life
you would say;

But I know
I am insecured
feeling heavily insecured

Do you know its all
because of
loving mother
rich father
cute sister and
so called 'caring' friends.
you won't feel insecure...it is the people surrounded you will make you feel insecure....
