Be yourself, realest shit i’ve ever heard
Never scared of being, it’s only a verb
Fuck hate, shit is only a word
Positive energy is my only concern 
Might be hurt, but my soul is never deterred
Keep our head up, even if you ain’t sure
Can’t get worse when you raised from the dirt
The path isn’t worth if it doesn’t seem obscure 
I’m Bronx, 
where when you don’t fit in people sound alarm
Where people doubt your vision, doubt your shine and charm
Where from the day you were formed 
you’re destined to underperform 
But momma didn’t raise no man who couldn’t weather the storm, so gone
I’m free and not chained from expectations no more
