sUga- LIFE AND TYMES Pt.1
Given name Shane Byron Struggled with who I was, Falling to pressures of being someone else While still being told to be myself. Raised by my mother, Family a Surrogate to me Never thought to be noticed by my father She created me In a mental sense, As she cared for me . Listened to my issues Being able to overcome the reality of racism Dry the water fall tears, Made a man of me Able to treat a woman with respect While battling over if I can trust them. Cheated on by my second girl Cheated on my third and fourth. Trying to understand life By living it. Respect all my bredgrine and them Give ‘em pound West Indian fo’ life Even though I haven’t lived there My vincy pride is in full affect And nothing but Not a Jammie, bajan, or a trini Maybe consider myself granadian. Waving the triple dia’s, yellow, green and the blue in the air. Always hold on to the memory of Grandpa Byron Also known as gramps, Lived life to the fullest. Danced and prayed in his rest Showering my family with his bless. I for one am not an unbelievably religious man I try. I was told to understand But I can’t live my life over the pages of a book written by some man. I am in control of my own destiny, If not controlled by the stars. Everyone has there own beliefs Don’t be mad at me. Understand that if u believe in something I shouldn’t be obligated to believe you as well But be able to have an open mind on anything. Love should not be compromised Still there are obstacles People bound on religion Not able to love who they want to love As color, race, creed come in between. Love only those who love you Because those that don’t will hurt u. Open yourself to communication So the real you can come through. by Shane Byron Copyright 2002, Shane Byron |
