Went to college went the longest Everyone quit or went home Almost made it but came up short Went home a failure started something In the back of my mind A voice keeps saying "finished what you started" Trying to survive, contribute to society Be proud of myself so many keep knocking me Did more than most not waving it in anyones face Trying to balance out work and school Not about being cool anymore Stopped caring what others think They are not supporting my goals or dream Time keeps flying by thought I had time Never too late making the most of the situation Things are falling into place Another hater will not wipe the smile off my face Been punched not hard enough to keep me down Still standing tall coming back for more Good to people even if they don't treat me fair Not worried the ignorance will come back around
