I was raised to never give up!
Never back talk
Even though i do it anyways!
I was raised to always behave,
I do that for the most part right?
I was raised to fight to the end,
To give it my all !
Never ball even though i did my worst,
I was raised to fight for whats right.
Keem my friends close
but my enimes closer!
To show exactly where im from
Be proud ,
Show a big smile.
I was raised to be a leader and not a follower.
I was raised to be my best even though somtimes im the worst!
This is how i was raised!
