My eighth grade year has been a time that many things I have learned in the past have came together, and concepts have started to make sense. There have also been hard parts of my eight grade year. The song “Own Light” by Brother Ali describes all of these things. The song has several lines that can support the claims I have made.
The first line in the chorus, “They've been trying to shut us down our whole life”. This relates to me because there are hardships in life, and people have also tried to shut us down. The line does a very good job of saying there are are hard things that happen and there are also good things, leading into the next line.
The second line is also from the chorus. It is “You've been trying to build me up my whole life”.
