Where I'm From

I am from poverty From Whales and Jacks I am from the worst part of out West Dangerous, fun, but overall a warzone I am from weeds and dirt in the backyard It might not be much, but it’s home. I’m from noodles and bologna sandwiches From Pavellette and Emmaunel I’m from the strong and smart. From “everybody ain’t your friend” and “Don’t trust what you can’t see.” I’m from Chicago, born and raised Still got roots from the Island to Texas to Pennsylvania All the way to Africa, Thanks to the Garcia and Gordons. From Mexican rice, chicken and beans, and cornbread From the family where hope is lost, But we still find a way. No matter how hopeless we was, Uncle Ricky made a way.

Too Good to Be the Truth

Before I met my manager and talked to him, I was just playing with my music. I didn’t know if I was really good or not. I only showed people close to me and I thought they were lying cause we was close.

My manager and I had a conversation that showed me that I can do it. I felt more determined, because before I had always doubted myself and my music. My mother told me I was having a brother, so I knew I was gonna be the star now I know I am. It’s sad that I didn’t fully realize it until somebody else told me, cause everyone around was already telling me.

Where I'm Going

I am going to visit every state once, Just to see what it’s like and how other people live. I always wanted to see the scenery in Puerto Rico, Where one side of my family is from. I always wanted to go to Greece or the Bahamas. I look forward to being successful And starting my own family with my girl. I set a goal to put myself in a position To provide for my family and others in need. To build myself as a person To be a better man And to have a good effect on earth. I would change the killings of minorities, And make more working together. That’s the only way we will survive here, Or make it better. The change will be more unity in every community. My legacy will be my business, my kids, Whatever I do will be left for my kids, For them to take over. My legacy will be my business, What I spend my time on. Equally my kids, Though they will be great.
