What if you had, an older brother, single mother, without a dad,
At the age of 12 your mother had pa**ed,
What if?
Your grandmother sacrificed everything she had, to play the role of mother and
dad, to make sure that,
You and your brother had, a roof over your head, food on the table, and
clothes on your back,
What if?
She didn't have a high school diploma or college degree, but she had what the
mind cant teach and what the eyes cant see,
She was Selfless.
Selfless enough to give her all,
to make sure, that you didn't fall,
Victim to the system, where the odds are stacked against you, and everyone is
trying to convince you, that your potential,
Goes beyond jail, or a hearse,
She saw Yale,
So she made you put education first, even if it meant every penny in her
purse!!,
What if?
All of the statistics, cla**ified you as helpless,
She bet her life, rolled the dice and didn't think twice,
Now that, is selfless.
