I've always been quite a determined guy in my mind
but it's been a struggle to translate that into real time
at parent- teacher meetings this was the famous caption
"your boy has potential but his problem is distraction,
he can talk for England, he doesn't pay attention,
the only place he seems not to talk is detention,
but he's a nice guy and a really polite kid"
my dad didn't wanna hear that he wants me to make him rich
when i got to college nothing much had changed
had the right motives but my commitment was the same
but for some reason despite my low grades
god found me a uni and i began to behave
although i was still the class clown for 3 years
in the fourth year that label suddenly disappeared
it's like someone flicked a switch in the left side of my brain
and i suddenly realised that uni is not a game
it was a learning curve disguised behind education
because the only thing i ever learnt to do was to be patient
i learnt to tame my tongue and not say all that's on my mind
and i learnt that not all things in life are meant to be defined
i found out that God must like playing practical jokes
because he scared me half to death by holding back my results
every other uni had received their marks
but my useless institution is the opposite of fast
when is this paper coming i can't take the questions
God stop keeping me in suspense unless it's for my own protection
and then i got a call saying have u got your post
i could've slapped the postman, i almost burnt my toast
"wat time do you call this?" i bellowed minutes later
the postman shrugged his sholders and left me with this piece of paper
i ripped it open hurriedly to end all the the suspense
but when i first saw it i wasn't too impressed
then people made me realise that i'm being ungrateful
i have a degree because God's been faithful
i shouldn't have made it to uni in the first place
so what right do i have to snarl at my grade
when all is said and done i have a good degree
i could get a job in ghana, spain or italy
glory to God for his infinite grace
and for using this vessel to complete this phase!
P.s * I didn't really bellow at the postman just thought it sounded funny lol*
