Dealing with my elders I I respect their way of life But don't **** on my way I appreciate you looking out I'm trying to be my own man My own person I learned who not to be Wish I had more positive influences Doing something no one tried While everyone sticks to the routine Breaking old habits being better Trying to not be consumed By failed family traditions Haters talk bad always up to no good Trying to maintain not back in the hood Over coming physical pain Heal from the emotional trauma Expressing concerns seen as issues Trying to get answers from the wrong ppl Trying to grow mentally develop personality Same Haters try to cut down the process Too much or not enough grew up to be tough
