Remember hearing this on ya myspace, years ago...
Can really feel the emotion in your voice. The first verse sets up the situation very well, the second establishes the emotion of the rapper, the third wraps it all up. I can see the purpose for the straight-forward and rather simple hook, and for the most part it works very well. The slower flow compliments the lyrics and tone of this track. The lyrics are a bit undelevoped, but for an 18 yr old, they're decent.
Leave the Sad Days in the past, today is the time for optimism and hope.
