believe in me

by Antwan Fields - Aries

when the night ends and the sun comes up i revert to the good boy 
but a boy with grandiose plans that just involve getting money
who belives in me?
i believe in me 
am i the only one?
i dreamed of being rich but realized it was only a dream
and i wanted it back
i can't get it now, i am told 
why not?
youre too young
youre too nice '
youre too black
bullshit!
my family no longer believes i am the savior
even though i am still in school
they don't believe in me
and they tell me about my stupidity
i wait with bated breath for success
but you have to get it
and they say i am a failure
fuck them!
i will do my job
and you will want to bask
but you will not 
you will get yours
and i will get mine
cause i believe in me 
undoubtedly.
