i hate how my life just seems like a test
not to be good, or better, but to be the best
i got to be head over heals above the rest
so many things needed to get off my chest

i wake up everyday to the same ole thing
waiting for the damn alarm clock to ring

all of a sudden it interrupts my sweet dreams
sit up in my bed and try to remember its theme

but i cant remember, too many clouds in my head
thinking of all of the braincells that have to be dead
just want to close my eyes and lay back in my bed
the 7:15 scream from the alarm is what i dread
dont want to absorb all the info im about to be fed
but remembering the words that my mom always said
always thinking of her, Ben, and Victor, and Fred

so yea monday thru friday you'll find me in class
trying to show all these people just how long i can last
ive been given the chance, what more can i ask
motivation when i dont want to finish a task

so many thought that my future was dead as a nail
thinking id drop outta school or classes id fail

but im still here proving those poeple wrong
trying to put a new tune to their song

so maybe i have made some mistakes in my life
that may have cause my family some pain and strife

but like a 180 i have turned it around
i have picked my life back up off of the ground
wasnt down for too long but its time to rebound
now i see all the things that needed to be found

so many things that id like to prove to my father
when it comes to my life he doesnt even need to bother

i have so much love and respect for my mother
for how good she has been to me and my brother

theres been so many times that she has been without
but shes the best in the world and thats without a doubt

so to her and the others i got something to prove
go ahead and watch me, every step, every move
im walking on thin ice and have so much to lose
just want to lay low dont wanna be front page news

so mom dont worry i want you to relax
im learning all the info, and all of the facts
im gonna do it with all these doubters on my back
gonna show em i messed up but now im back on track
