WAITING

I’ve been waiting, contemplating

On my chance to prove that I’m capable

Of more than just livin’

Never mind my condition

I take this talent I’m given

So that I can transition

To a life that’s efficient for me                                                                        

Then you will see

How I rise to the occasion

So watch and observe a legend in the making

But can’t do it without God cause he’s truly amazing                                       

No debating he gave me the will to deal with frustration

To ignore those with low expectations

So no matter their input in the situation

This is my life, only I’m doing the creating  

Others dictating acting as if they're illustrating

But I don’t listen to their perspective

I stay positive determined and aggressive

To achieve my objective

To be an artist regardless of my diagnosis

I’m focused on my future like an enemy to a sharp shooter

So I must hit the target

Gotta try hard cuz my life is the hardest

Even though the world will attempt to chew you up like lions chewing on a carcass

 

But I couldn’t be their harvest

Cuz my ego was too big

You could say it is the largest

Which made me courageous

Now there’s no more pain only happiness

So save the sorrow for yesterdays pages

Open up the door for rap’s greatest
