I'll Be Dammed
By Nate Spears
My birth arrived from a place
Where the sun didn't always shine
Neighbors borrowed everything
From Kool-aid to Good Times
Dirt trail tales
Sand lot fields,
Sores filled my legs
From playing out here
Diamonds in the rough
Times were tough
If you didn't play right
They whipped your butt
But,
Under the hood lies a motor
Furious when crunk
Hit the gas and excel
Use it to drive to the top
Elevate with purpose,
Achieving is certain
I'll be dammed if I let the hood
Be my disconnect button.
