Broken glass

window outlook looking out

should've been a good day

happiness..,good music...good food

that kiss

that look

that kiss

misunderstanding

College application College

running the streets...throwing care to the wind

City streets City life City mind...mindset...

Parents threw a college party

leaving day...at the University... set-up for Success

shoes thrown in the corner at your apartment...grandma's sleeping...kid brother too...

boosting with you...learned how

attendance call...I ain't there

smoking whatever...drinking whatever... chasing the day come what may

You saw me I saw you...College...shoot.... The streets are now and I had to be down.... had to know.... show you I had no fear let's go...

Studying.... first in the family to go to school...

let's do it in the den...black skin

parties on campus

Student Union

Tough ones are outside of the university

don't know you or what you're into

they found you outside that broken window

Screaming for what seemed to be hours....

happy at the university... away from home

made some cool friends

The police question me about you

High School...Studies...preparing for college...Pizza... McDonalds...and achievements.

They were looking for you...

Sunny day at the pool you were there...

In my room dreaming about my life....High School memories...

Your homies implicated me..Parents had to come

Black Princess...regardless of associations... I follow

Love has no boundaries...Love absolves common sense

The big Picture...A college graduate

Pops don't know...Mom neither...

YaQuisha my love my loneliness sweet tragedy in black...

I'm gonna give back to my community gonna be someone

Choices we all have choices... I choose excellence..I will be a success..
