Supporters

Supporters are going to support

while the haters are going to hate

but while the haters are busy hating

I won't let them disturb my fate

you see I have a dream

just as anyone else

Whose goal is to be successful

and it should seem

that the new me

I am better than my old self which is helpful

We hustle and we grind already with fear of failure clouding our minds

In a place where to be liked or to get a single like is simply too much for someone's time

Putting more emphasis on the negativity in one's life

Where the measure of positivity gets lack of accolades and fails to compare in the struggle to applaud what's right

Understand that it isn't just about me

It's about him and him and them and we

Together building a future to keep us off these streets

To make sure and ensure that they have more than enough food to eat

More than enough knowledge to speak

more than enough love to keep

to be restless and sleepless and unable to sleep

While finding yourself laying in your bed counting sheep

With nothing but the vision of a prosperous existence flooding your thoughts

Thoughts become things as respect is what is taught

A supporter would walk thru the fires of judgments with you

Correcting non supporters whom lack a complete understanding of why it is they support what you do

Wouldn't have to be singled out to promote your cause

And if one failed, wouldn't magnify your flaws

Appreciate your tremendous contributions to the existence of a wealthy life

Won't judge you or once your back is turned bury a knife, In it

In it to win it and this much is true

True, we all have our own lives to live

yet with me living mine to the fullest, I still have time to give

If anything, a lil positive feedback which is free

where some don't seem to have enough time for me

and that's not okay

Being supportive of people and their ventures and future endeavors especially if it positively improves their lives

has never cost anyone anything, except for a moment of their time

It just hurts to realize that the ones you think are loyal, the ones who you think have your best interest at heart

are the very same ones who would sell you out for a bit of sunshine just to get themselves out the dark

Looking for those supporters who if you had a business, they wouldn't always want a hook up, a discount, stuff for free

When you make it big, those will be the first ones with you to get down on one knee

And pray to God, thanking God for your blessings of His glory

For when I make it, we all make it and that's not even the end of my story

Instead of being a non supporter in line with their hands out looking at you as if you owe them something

you can't get blood out of a turnip and instead, they get turned away with nothing

Entrepreneurs can relate to the feelings I feel of blood, sweat and tears

years, in a dedicated passion of their career field of choice

So to all of my supporters, I'm thanking you all with my voice

Thanks for your support, purchases, likes, invites, encouragements and shares

And last but not least, thank you all for showing me that you care!
