my future

i look at things from the wrong perspective

like **** look at all the time i’ve wasted

i always forget how young i really am

so i study my past like it's an exam...

but **** it. let’s just erase it.

i'm forcing myself to stare straight forward,

look to the future and embrace it.

 

i’m always stressin' about who i wanna be

i know i have potential

there’s a lot more to see from me

like yeah, knowing is half the battle

but doing is more than i can fathom

 

i’ve got friends and family saying

“do you, dani, go get ‘em…”

which is why I started school at LSU

only to find a group of fake friends

and career paths with a dead ends

and I sit here and wonder

when will I become exactly what God intends?

 

all my life, I’ve been waiting on the day

where I have the confidence to say

exactly what’s on my mind - heart and soul combined

and do my part for mankind

but for now, i will be patient

look to the future and embrace it.
