WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE I WAS THE
"STRUGGLING TYPE"
I WENT THROUGH DOUBT, FEAR, TROUBLE, AND TRIFE
ASKING questIONS LIKE,
"WHAT DO I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE?"
WELL I DON'T KNOW
BUT I DO KNOW THIS:
I WANT A WIFE
I WANT KIDS AND I WANT TO WATCH THEM GROW
I WANT TO BE SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW
OF MY LITTLE GIRL'S SHOW
SEE MY SON MAKE THE WINNING SHOT
YA KNOW?
I WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED
LOCALLY
NATIONALLY
GLOBALLY
I WANT TO KNOW THIS WILL HAPPEN
BUT RIGHT NOW ITS JUST
"HOPEFULLY"
SO HOW CAN CHANGE A HOPE INTO A DEFINITE?
HAVE MOMEMNTUM KEEP ME OUT OF DEFICIT
I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT
THAT'S THE quest I'M IN
I NEED THESE ANSWERS
SO I CAN STOP
questIONING
