Sometimes growing up being the kid that is not cool, can work for you,
It makes you live life with a chip on your shoulder, something to prove,
Thats the motivation you just might need to reach the top,
Then you can look back at your high school days and how they mistreated you,
And just smile at all the people who didn't believe in you,
Just look at Drake
He often raps and sings,
About being mistreated in his teens,
And being far from the high school prom king,
His dreams of being a great rapper,
Was often met with tons of chatter and laughter,
“They” would say,
A Canadian with Aubrey as a name,
Can never attain critical acclaim and fame in the rap game,
But did he fold, No,
He used the hating as motivation,
He kept working, grinding, and creating,
And with a strong team as his foundation,
He now has the number one single and album in the nation,
Selling over one million in its first week,
Laughing at the haters in their faces,
So, this is what we can learn from Drake,
Share your vision,
Some will listen, some will laugh,
Stay on your path,
Continue to sharpen your craft,
And you will get the last laugh,
Because success is the best revenge,
So, In order to win,
Use haters as motivators,
Build a strong support system of family and friends,
And stay committed to your vision, to the very end.
