Entering this world through a family of pride.

My parents rules I will abide.

(17)Seventeen, brown hair, light skin

One day becoming a husband and father.

Drugs and alcohol,

why bother?

Graduation day is soon.

Almost time for college.

Father's proud of my extended knowlege.

Getting dressed for my special day

and thinking of why I am grateful.

No enimies,

so I'm not hateful.

Picturing my parents faces when home from the party.

Remembering my dads nick-name for me...

He use to call me "smarty".

Yes,

I went to the party.

Yes,

I went to graduation.

Little did I know

I would receive another invitation.

Mom...Dad...

towards him, please don't be mad.

You raised me right, which he didn't receive.

You gave me the love he only wanted to achieve.

He made a mistake.

On the best day of my life he took me away.

How was I to know I wouldn't live another day?

Popping up in this world,

and no one noticing me here.

Parents stricken me with fear.

(17)Seventeen with no goals.

I am a thug and it shows.

Entering man-hood.

When (18)eighteen I get thrown out,

so fuck this place without a doubt.

Not a care in my heart.

Not a worry in my mind

Going to a party,

shoot the first fool I find.

Picturing my parents not giving a damn.

So what...

I didn't graduate.

Yeah...

I went to the party.

Don't even care,

and I'm not sorry!

To blast my gun, I was relieved.

From my homies, much respect I received.

So, I made a mistake and threw my soul away!

Shit happens...

It's just another day.
