You and I were chosen by the man in the sky 

To rise above the darkened skies, life is cinematic, know your role, if not improvise 

Too close to become strangers, who are you? You and I.. 

Know they hate the truth, the realest one never told a lie & STILL got crucified 

You want to leave the nest to fly, but have fear of taking your leap of faith

Never mind the naysayers, even Jesus experienced the deepest hate 

Drowning in deep regret, feeling shallow from a malevolent force 

Where sharks circle around their prey, out for blood with no remorse 

The scent of a rotten corpse, lingers back and forth 

Convincing others that you're ready for the world but deep down you're not even that sure 

Let Jesus take the wheel because you swerved through life's crash course 

Hitting potholes called friends who only pretend to be glad for.. 

Your astonishing accomplishments when they really envy you 

Wanna be you, they see you, making moves, so they want to keep you down & out, but you were born in a line of royalty where you cherish other's loyalty, and deal with issues accordingly 

Wear your halo like a crown, spread your wings so you can soar

You want someone to give you the world but fail to realize its already yours 


Product of a broken home? Renovate yourself


So the next generation can applaud your courage & ambition as true wealth


Poor preparation leads to cramming which leads to failure in life's tests.

Can't complain about having too much on your plate if you hunger for success


The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Believe in faith, and those who believe in you to fuel the belief within yourself


Self-doubt? Don't let it phase you

Let the curves in your road to success shape you


From drowning out your sorrow from toxins from liquor bottles

To realizing you were the author to finding "Nobel Peace" in your own novel


On a different page than most, close every chapter with a quote

Sign it with love & let them be inspired by the story that was wrote.


That silver lining in the darkest cloud is just another cliché for hope

So I hope you have the fight in you when no ones in your corner & your back's against the ropes


[*ding ding*]

Hey. YOU. GOT. THIS. SHIT. Nobody's stopping you. Nobody's stopping me.

We'll win, & you can put money on it like you landed on my property in a game of monopoly. 


Control the rage you have inside, love the people, conquer your demons. 

Find your co-pilot in life, buckle up, take flight & rise like the phoenix.
