Influence Influence Influence Influence Ah Back in high school freshman year Walking through those doors with immense fear Wondering how I could make it through the day Hoping that I could get myself through the 9th grade Just wishing I could make it to the next class okay Walking now through the hallway Upperclassmen yelling and screaming and name calling all the freshmen Roaming through their turf land Thinking for the next day I'mma bring my bro, man To help me wipe these nerves off my hand Year goes on and my confidence is grand Nobody's gonna screw with me even if they got the upper hand Chilling now with my bro's friends Them giving me some influence So that I don't buy into people's amends Or live by the continuance of what's wrong and what's right Only thing to relieve me of school's stress was music Never thought I could strive in an industry That can make you out as cartoonic All I needed was a little bit of that Influence Influence And I'm thankful for my mom I'm thankful for my dad I'm thankful for my brother and I'm thankful for my friends I'm thankful for All of these who I consider close to me And all of those who really inspire me (Mom, dad, brother, friends, thank for those) And I'm thankful for my mom I'm thankful for my dad I'm thankful for my brother and I'm thankful for my friends And all of those who I care for And I'll always be there for you (Mom, dad, brother, friends, thank for those) Sophomore year I got two more years My classmates are feeling chill, I was always feeling ill Stopped caring about the classes, started thinking how I'd get bills Bro's still with me helping out but it's his last year here All his friends leaving too I'm always thinking 'bout it in fear Cause we'd always hang at the house after school When I'd skip study hall early thinking that I'm cool We hang out in my basement floor Gaming and chatting about a score, a goal that we'd want in life Maybe talk about a girl we'd wife Maybe wish we could get something more From the stuff we would learn from education's credo See, I wanted education but I despised the idea of the classwork Failing every class, parent's thinking that I needa' earn a better grade At last, I couldn't grasp the task of the past and I finished last for the year Learnin' fast that I could and would fall from the mass if I didn't think fast My orchestra class had been keeping me sane the whole year Came by the music department during break Teacher telling me that she'd offer her bets I could be at the top All I needed was a little bit of that Influence Influence And I'm thankful for my mom I'm thankful for my dad I'm thankful for my brother and I'm thankful for my friends I'm thankful for All of these who I consider close to me And all of those who really inspire me (Mom, dad, brother, friends, thank for those) And I'm thankful for my mom I'm thankful for my dad I'm thankful for my brother and I'm thankful for my friends And all of those who I care for And I'll always be there for you (Mom, dad, brother, friends, thank for those) My last two years were drastic Last two years I was procrastinating Took an alternative program that was Godspeed Where I could take the classes I'd been needing Took my teacher's advice and started learning 'Bout some music theory and started participating In their department every hour I could get Sometimes in there for my whole day Dedicating my time and effort into bettering their department Every moment of focus I had within me was met those days Now my life was turning around Had some negative moments pop up every then and now Made some stupid decisions that made me lay down And think what was I doing with my life But now I can witness an uprising Although I'm not with them currently I'm guessing that what I left there was a blessing So now what I got to do is give some credit And return the favor to them as they helped build who I am That's why I'll always be thankful for their influence
