4-21 the journey begins, right away original sin
Im trapped within, so through the tunnel I went
entered the world, bright lights, sunny days, dark nights
baby food not to mention all the new sights
break through the barrier yet cant see clearly
nearly free, a smack on my ass till i cried severly


Constantly crying, diapers, bottles, and midday naps
winter comes im stuck in sweater traps and wool knit caps
scarfs and mittens, snowballs and a snow day
second grade, school yard sports, everyday we play
the same games and right after lunch we pray
summer vacation we got a new pool it seemed so cool
one rule, no diving, but i chilled with everyone school
pop warner came next dorchester eagles, always the best
pads on my shoulders and chest gotta keep dad impressed
ready to move to the next level on lifes long quest


12, 13, and 14 went so fast out of middle school at last
being a lil kid left in the past, great now im mowing the grass
new chores, new school, and older girl friend of course
frustation from a new source, my parents going through a divorce
while im busy just trying out for high school sports
they both gave me all kinds of support helped with school reports
I found hip hop to stay sane I swear I had rap in my veigns
thank god they reconcilled as i was on my way to the next grade
junior year, rough time, after school I stayed, finally got laid
got my first car could never buy gas my girl always paid


Senior year full of parties and weed thats all i need
I proceed to the fork in the road at full speed
right or left, good or bad, fuck it i went straight ahead
not ready to grow up yet I try to live in immaturity instead
senior project and SATs up next can only hope for the best
obsessed praying everynight my pen will become blessed


finally grown, a place of my own, walking into the unknown
a single light shone a candle in the wind burning alone
College? Can I get in? What will I study? Am I even ready?
Ironic, child hood ends and I have to start again already
