“what kind of story you trying to tell?”

(verse 1)
no stopping me
the child prodigy
awards and compet-tions
none of my peers a top of me
i found the words of power
i sat alone for hours
i let the knowledge pour
kids were playing basketball
i just went and read some more
best of all
left it all behind
every time
i began reading a page
went to another world in my mind
despite the young age
these images were vivid
if i read it
i lived it
c-cky little kid
cause i knew that i was gifted
still was so shy
always kept my distance
and i read all the time but when i spoke no one listened
maybe some teachers did
but i was just a kid
i needed validation
that’s when i started changing
that’s when we moved down south
that’s where i found my bible
i put away my books
i tucked away my idols
and i changed

(verse 2)
i started writing rhymes
not just some of the time
i did it every day
read a verse then wrote away
one day i came to a p-ssage that said turn the other cheek
the kingdom of god would belong to the meek
i followed suit directly
hoping that god would bless me
i let my foes test me
bully and beat me
fight and jump me
they found it funny
when i just prayed
i started slipping with the grades
i was distracted by the hazing
i started putting emotions to the page and
after that i was never really the same, then
i got my first job
i started getting paid
my parents bought a house
that’s when we moved away

“shouldn’t you rest now?”
“i want to read some more.”
“ok fine.”

“you can change the world, if you choose to.”
