Back in my hometown I used to hate
Listening to old school jams to make it feel like 98'
Anita Baker taking me back to the school bus
Rapping Trick Daddy with my friends trying not to cuss
Reminiscent of a childhood gone too soon
Struggling to adjust to the real world of doom
After high school you simply choose
If you wanna win or lose
Will you fall into the pits of darkness after despair and never come out?
Or will you stand taller?
That's what victory is all about
The good conscious is God
Telling you to keep moving
Keep believing and improving
On a better you and a better life
Faith of a future that shines bright
I think that everything will be alright
...Now I can sleep at night...
