I wrote this song on a plane ride home to New Jersey from Texas in 2007.  We were visiting some relatives and I didn't want to leave, because I saw a path to an upbringing that would make me a better person and it was being taken away by us going home.  We were a family that often complained about the area, the weather, the cost of living, and the attitude of where we lived, yet did nothing to make a change.  There was a place right in front of us that had a lower cost of living, warmer weather, and our family members seemed to be doing well and making a better life for themselves.  I wanted us to be more like them.  So on the ride home, I heard this song in my head.  I was 12 years old at the time.  Recently I finally recorded the song with the help of Zaki Ali and Steve Boyer (you can find them on Instagram @zakialinj and @steveboyerjr) at Cinderella Man Studios (Cinderellamanstudios.com) Hope y'all enjoy it.
