Successful (EXPLICIT)
Once a little boy
in a world, full of uncertainty
Who was very insecure and coy
Who had nothing really
In a house full of turmoil and dismay
Felt the criticism from relatives
Blood is thicker than water they say
Major difference between family and relatives
Overhearing, “he’ll never be shit”
“He’ll be running the streets like you know who”
“He might as well take that one hit”
Funny how I did the things they didn’t expect me to do
Success-accomplishing desires, goals, and dreams
Something I’ve always craved for
Losing fake friends in the process as it seems
Glad I saw who rooted for me from the door
People talk shit all the time’
Saying im fat, ugly, and broke
Hoped I would’ve turned to a life of crime
Saying my life was a complete joke
Looking back at it now
I’m more successful that they would ever dream of being
Not cocky at all-that is a vow
Just went through a lot and hurting
Went through abuse and pain
That little boy
Still managed to passed all grades despite the rain
Wait, Got more to employ
Went through neglect and depression
That young man
Still managed to graduate high school with honors distinction
Haters getting angrier at the reformed man
Was anxious and homeless for a moment
That man was broken-well they expected
Still managed to get a degree with honors
Haters pissed to the max of the failed hope wrecked
Its amazing how I still did my best
One last message to any hater
Still managed to be this successful than the rest
I’m a bad ass nigga
Haters, thank you
Your criticism and verbal attacks helped pushed me
Love proving people wrong too
Y’all wouldn’t have shit to do with your lives if it wasn’t for me
Stay tuned... More for y’all to be mad about coming soon
