I Was Raised By Opposites

By Shane Chandler

I was raised by a long haired,

laid back,

funny,

respectable,

kinda’ dad

I was influenced by a trouble makin’,

law brakin’,

parentless,

tell ya like it is’

kinda’ friend

I was taught by an old school,

unique,

 spontaneous,

“I believe that you can do better with your life,”

kinda teacher

I was loved by a beautiful,

funny,

smart,

“I’m always right because I’m perfect,”

kinda girl

I was shaped by a responsible,

tough lookin’,

loud music listenin’ to,

“I’ll always be there for you; I got your back,”

kinda’ person
