"Make It In America"

So I'm currently listening to a song called "Make It In America" and I can completely relate to it. Listen to the song and you will know what I mean... well not really until I tell you my story.

 It started on August 24, 2011, the first day of school. But for me, it's a new world, a foreign country. I came from a private school that I went to for seven years. I tried to fit in. I thought that would make everything better, but no. Being myself was all. All I had to do was adjust to this new world. I found people who understood me like my old friends, maybe they understand me better. I love them, all of them. I made mistakes and I learned from them. I found out what love really feels like (don't judge me please). Public school is like a roller coaster ride for me and I'm almost at the end of my first round. Then I got 5 more to go. I see my future and I want to be there. I'm happy and I'm never letting go of this feeling. Thank you guys for making my first year in a new school the best. You helped be become a better person. I love you guys! Just... thank you a trillion times!!!

 With the biggest heart,

P.S. I cried the whole time when I made this post.... :')

 

Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street

Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet 

I'm just trying to make it in America 

Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt 

Faded 1985 from a stones concert 

And I'm dying to make in America 

And I'm singing the words to my favorite song

With the rag top down and my glasses on 

And I'm driving straight through America 

I wanna taste the sun 

Baby I'm born to run 

I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin 

Yeah baby I need the ocean 

And you can stop me now I've got my heart in motion 

I want to make it in America

Make it in America 

I can see my star sunset and vine

Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign 

Yeah I gotta, gotta make it in America 

See me wearin a smile, even if I'm broke

I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote 

And I called it make it in America 

I wanna taste the sun 

Baby I'm born to run 

I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin 

Baby I need the ocean 

And you can stop me now I've got my heart in motion 

I wanna make it in America

Make it in America 

I can feel the sweat dripping down my face 

I can hear my heart as it starts to race 

Yeah sometimes this worlds such a lonely place 

If I just push on I know that 

I wanna taste the sun 

Baby I'm born to run 

I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin 

Baby I need the ocean 

And you can stop me now I've got my heart in motion 

I wanna make it in America

Make it in America
