One thing about me, I like being honest. I like to show my love to the ones I care about and I’m a very hardworking person. I take care of my family and take care of a lot of things. With my confidence, I am meant to be a strong person. I feel I’m meant to be a breadwinner. I feel like I matter even more because I’m still alive. It’s a lot of young Black people who died at this age of 18. The places I have been: Oakland, Stockton, Lodi, San Mateo, Vallejo, Fairfield, Sacramento, Modesto, Antioch, and a lot more cities. I have never been to places like LA, Las Vegas, Texas, Atlanta, Hawaii, Africa, China, Asia, and more, but I would really love to travel and do those things before my time is over on this earth. I’m a person that loves to travel and see things I never saw before.
Also, I’m a stand up person that’s going to speak for myself and also I’m very confident in my work, and I just want to better myself by not getting so angry fast. And just being more patient with people and things.
I know I have been through the storm and back but I know it’s going to get better one of these days. I just must keep up the hard work and it’s going to pay off later and it’s going to pay off well, I know. But it’s going to get better I hope, but for this new year, 2021, I’m going to work on my choices, my decisions, and on my work. I could be better in life and make it out with my goals in life completed. I just hope for the best but I prepare for the worst. You gotta be ready for whatever life brings you. It’s going to be some serious challenges you gotta face on this earth, you just got to give it your best effort and it’s going to be all good, trust me. But I hope the world get back healthy, it’s a lot going on in this time frame but it’s all going to come to an end and be good, just stay positive and confident and your goals will succeed in life much quicker.
How I plan to succeed with my dreams is I’m going to stand on what I believe and I’m not going to let nothing stop me or bring me down. Just bring straight power and pressure to the table. Also, I’m going to surround myself with people that believe in they self, and believe in completing their goal or dream in life. And, also, praying to God will also help me succeed in my goals and dreams in life. But not just me, I hope the people I hang around bring their dreams to real life and better themselves. Also, my family, I hope their dreams come true as well and if they need help I want to be that person to help and let them know: don’t stop until your dream is where you want it to be. Never give up on yourself for nobody for no reason. I just want everyone to know to bring pressure to the table, it can get a little hard in life, but you just gotta keep bringing that pressure. Next thing you know, boom! Everything you wanted is there.
The things I’m excited about doing in 2021 is I see myself rapping. I am a very good rapper, I just sleep on myself. When I actually have time to go to the studio I end up getting side tracked by something else, like money moves. I have a big thing for money. I love money more than you can imagine. Money is everything to me, but the thing about money is that it can’t fix all of your problems. It’s some people that you love that don’t care about a dime in your pocket and will leave if you don’t show loyalty. Money can’t fix everything. It may seem like it but trust me it can’t. Though, I see myself making thousands and thousands and helping out others and taking care of things that I need to take care of. Hopefully one of these days I can have a nice car, house, chain, diamond teeth, watch, and even more cars. I also want chains for my friends and family, but one of these days. I know the hard work is going to pay off.
I matter. I matter because I feel like I’m the most gifted one in my family. I matter because I got a big talent for rappin’ and a lot of people don’t know how to rap. I matter because I believe in myself. I matter because I am very confident in what I do and what I believe in. I am meant to be a breadwinner. I am meant to be someone who is very confident. I am meant to be a person who looks out for their loved ones, and takes care of what I can. When I look at myself, I think of a hard-working person and I think I am going to make it big one of these days. The thing that makes me-me is just my confidence, and that I believe in myself. I am a breadwinner! I am the rawest young rapper out in Oakland, California. That didn’t make it tonight, I been everywhere I can’t go, and I’m going to the top, and I’m going to all the stages in the work to rap, at least all of them.
