It's a New Quarter
Sleep is fleeting when trying to formulate a plan.
I'm up because I haven't slept l, But because I'm cheerful doesn't mean I haven't wept.
Sleep is fleeting when trying to formulate a plan,
Sacrifice means everything if you're any kind of man.
Perseverance and hard work have gotten me where I am today, pressing through the bullshit just so my kids are OK.
Struggle and progress go together like cereal and milk, don't try to compare war stories only a few are of the same ilk.
Cut from a different cloth my hardships are what raised me
My soul's been cooked in a better broth, my former lifestyle is what made me.
Move up from the streets, seriously
Most of y'all couldn't walk a foot in my shoes, no seriously.
I finessed every move I made
Positioned myself to slice through the heaviest of grain.
My history is authentic
But my journey isn't yours
My struggles made me
So let yours be what's grading...
It's a new quarter.

Been writing for as long as I an remember. Some of my writings emit darkness and despair. Others, are positive and upbeat. Writing, much like the smell of freshly burned cordite, is my therapy and coping mechanism.
