the heart of a powerful track and “A Vow to Work Harder”

[Verse 1]I pray for the fall of my enemies, And anyone actin’ like kin to me. Hostages never get free —There's war in the streets, and legends bleed.

I looked at life through a wide-ass lens, But we chase distractions that don’t make sense. Can’t sleep, can’t breathe, Folks forget and die from disease.

[Verse 2]Yeah, my enemies? The ones who adopt Black kids Then treat 'em like slaves — that’s the evilest shit. Glad they got the rest of their life to rot, Hope karma hit hard, and the flames stay hot.

People act dumb, but it happens each day, Tryna make money just to wish it away. I applied for jobs, but they lay folks off, While Elon laugh with his billions — pissin’ me off.

[Verse 3]All these Teslas crashed — now what’s funny? Make his pockets dry, let him choke on his money. But truth be told, my enemy's me, I ignore my mind, let the pain run free.

I don’t read signs, then I get stuck, In a bind, in a loop, feelin’ outta luck. Man, I hate that too — I keep losin’ my grip, Lost my key card, lost my trip.

[Verse 4]Missed class, now I’m drowning in defeat, Slippin’ on facts, trippin’ in the street. News every day talkin’ 'bout what you eat, Everything killin’ us, every single treat.

Self-sabotage got me in a chokehold, Do I wanna live or fold? Keep on goin’? Or live in a lie? That question haunt me every night.

[Outro]I wanna fall in love like Selena G, But the world fake as fast food on a screen. I wanna live like Selena Gomez, But all I see’s synthetic, all I know is stress.

Think of drownin’ the pain with a Benadryl, But even that’s gettin’ recalled — this shit too real.

Hey everyone,

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge something important. Lately, I’ve been slipping up — I’ve lost some things that mattered, and I’ve missed a few classes that I shouldn’t have. Whether it was misplacing materials, being off track with time, or just not being fully present, I know it added up. And I know it matters.

Missing class doesn't just affect me — it affects the people who count on me to show up, participate, and contribute. It slows down my own progress, and it doesn’t reflect who I truly want to be. I take full responsibility for that.

But today, I want to make a vow. A promise — not just to my teachers or classmates, but to myself. I vow to work harder. I vow to be more present, more organized, and more focused. I vow to learn from what’s already happened and use it as fuel to become better.

Because setbacks happen. But what defines us is how we bounce back. And I’m bouncing back with purpose.

Thank you for your patience, and thank you for giving me the space to grow.
