Dream works; Lion King Simba talks to Mufasa. That's when I pulled my pants up, and started fixing my posture. Then looked up above. I struggle with love. Struggle with hate. Hard to debate. Leave and change when I fall But I still wanna participate.
22 in 10 days. Turning 22, in 10 different ways A different shade. A midnight black, to a faded gray. I opened this chapter. Dressed for the rapture. Run and tell master. While they're telling Ima take it all to the pastor. Or am I dreaming? Wake up Wake up. Time to break up, from the shake up. Don't let em see you down, Get dressed, And put on make up. I'm evolving. Starving like Marvin. Sky is still calling My name ain't Jim Jones, but one day I'll be ballin'.
Will I give back? No looking back. Dashing that. Getting older now; getting bigger, steady hungry trying to pick up the pieces. Pledge of allegiance to the money now. Now and forever. Finesse, but I'm still not that clever. One day I'll be; probably never.
And nowadays 22 is still declared young. But that won't change me from growing, I won't settle for none. Nowadays 22 can feel old or feel young. With these 10 days left I know it's better to come.
10 days before I turn 22 from this date. I've grown so much. This poem is to show I've entered a new chapter in my life, with my career, thoughts and everything involving me and the world around me lately.
