Better man

Better man

A Poem by André-J-Franklin
"

It's how i see life

"
 Hey ever lyricist has a tale from rags to riches
Praying on a dream, like 11:11 or other superstitions
Life for me was never on track, drop out of college because couldn't pay the tuition
found out later that year i had daughter, from some long division
Minus a condom, she was never a problem
More than I can say about them
My biological dad and role models weren't exempt
Had me questioning hypocrisy of those that could father me
Becoming distance like the essence of poetry
So I take no offense to those that don't notice
Notice me, notice me
 Here the plan fully stamp to be the better man
cause I can damn
  My mentality is set to the worst has yet to come
Was label special ed because society thought I was dumb
Been screwed over so many times
Always overcame, it can't really explain it
Maybe I was tried or to Legit to subject myself to this foolishness
But I began to play lacrosse with the pursuit of happiness
Found tranquility to establish this
Won't repeat the cycle, because i'm not like you
The greatest victory is success so I aint going to be spiteful
Even as a little boy, I stood by the rights to bear arms
Aiming for my dreams no rifle 
Cuz I'm scoping out the scene
Not scare, just cautious not everyone appears to be what they seem

 Here the plan fully stamp to be the better man cause I can
damn, i'm better than you, better you, I aint lying just stating the truth
Better man, better man, better man, better since the master plan
Better man, better man, better man, better man than you ever can

I'll stand for everything that makes me me
And i'll never fall for anything that wasn't meant to be
I learn my lesson, life is to short so I count my blessing
I'm done with the stressing and the depression
Not chasing you play at ya own discretion
No body got time for that, catch up with the present
