The Golden Ticket

Growing up in a city of dreams

Bound for greatness

But success wasn’t easy as it seems

mama working doubles I couldn’t quit

Had a dollar and a dream to proceed

Long and Sleepless nights

Dreaming one day it will be my time

Prime time under the lights

Key plays from big time players like me

I’m one of one

Mama raised me on her own no dad in sight

gave me a reason to keep going

Scratching and pleading to that end goal

Heavy bangs of weights rolling

Sweat dripping from my heart, had to keep flowing

I had to do this for my family

Moving them out the hood was my biggest dream

Sunny skies, palm trees and better days

No more worries no more maze

The rise to the top is upon me in a lot of ways

Exceeded in a Division one school

The smile on my mama face was impeccable

Became the youngest golden ticket to do it

All glory to God

In the city of dreams, I was bound for greatness.
