Childhood
"You’re about to go through a lot
And I can’t tell you about any of it
All I can say is stay true to you
You’re a golden child in the midst of disaster
A special kind that isn’t keen to the cancer
The world likes to feed
Because of free-will you’ll continue to succeed
You have the will to be the best you can be
Hold on to that
It may get tough at times
You may want to give up
Life is gonna throwup regardless of what health foods you bring it
So remain true to you
God has so many plans
And you just have to follow through
Don’t lose hope in humanity
Cause you’ll lose hope in yourself
Just realize that everyone is different
Yet everyone is the same, going through whatever pain you may encounter
Some of these words may be too big, but I know you understand
You are beautiful, beyond your appearance
There’s a soul within you that is more complex and remarkable than you know
So keep watching your Arthur re-runs and eat that good ole Sherbert
One day you’ll be able to buy your own gallon
If you ever need a saving grace don’t hesitate to call
I’m only one dial away
It’s just you sis, and it ain’t that hard to talk to you
18 - I’m about to be
So let me write something for future me
Hey, you’re not a screw up
You accomplished a lot in high school
But you didn’t peak
There is no peak
Just keep pushing further
This world’s oyster is yours to break
God broke the mold when he made you
You already know you’re special
There’s not much reason to say that
Cause truly you better have much love for yourself
Stop comparing yourself to someone else
Keep pushing
Buy your Mum a house
Don’t get married til you’ve seen the world, you’ve raised the girl inside of you to be a woman, you’ve met Denzel and directed a movie for him
There’s no question where life’s gonna take you
Don’t tie yourself down with a baby, boo
Them things ain’t worth it
But it’ll be worth it when you can show your baby a world full of possibilities
If it ain’t positive don’t buy it
If it ain’t ice cream don’t try it
If they ain’t giving you time, don’t feed into it
Shoot for the sky and exceed that
Multiply your green and be true to you
Love yourself, God, and your family too
This is all relative, but hats off to you
And I love ya"
