Graduate With Honors

CATEGORY

life

Views: 747

At an early age School Of Hardknocks came

knockin at my door

Jumped at the chance wanted to

learn more

Takes a lot to graduate

from the school of hard knocks

Always being tested

rebellious and unprotected

listened to only a few

about life

check it out myself

that should suffice

Got my lessons in school

at the same time street life ruled

Knocked to the ground many times

Went to college gaining more knowledge

Went to war among other medals received

a Bronze Star

Lived life so hard and free

Championship trophies in summer

league in Basketball and softball

Could never keep a job

yet I never robbed

Never seen the inside

of jail

In amazement family members

thought I would fail

Horse track dog track

all met my path

Had my basketball homies

that sold that weed

When hard times came and

they were sure to come

none of that asking for help

or going home

Now all they can say

Yeah he did it his way
