I’m from responsibility
Being the oldest in a household of 5 siblings
I’m from the creative ideas you form with your brothers when your board
Swinging from sheets tied to the banister of the stairwell
I’m from a household of drama
Arguments between siblings and arguments between parents
I’m from many court and lawyer discussions
Constantly being asked which parent I’d rather stay with and why
I’m from backyard adventures
I’m from climbing grandma’s biggest tree
I’m from being told no don’t play so rough you’re a lady
I’m from settled dreams
Not allowing myself to get my hopes up or quitting when things get tough
I’m from doubts
No you can’t have that you’ll never make it there
I’m from music
Finding peace in rhythm
I’m from Christian grandparents
Put God 1st and everything else will follow
I’m from new dreams
I’m far from negativity no longer associating myself with ones who say can’t won’t or yeah right
I’m from success
I’m on my way to new and better things
