Change
You welcomed me on my first day,
  after moving from a place I lived for most of my life.
  For that I refuse to make any mistakes
  and refuse to make any lies.
  From the sirens, friends and family,
  in Jersey City is where I’m from.
  To then move to a place of many
  smiles and the peaceful sound of where birds hum.
  I have showed you my basketball skills and
  you said I was a prodigy.
  Also, when you asked me for opinions and help,
  I gave you my honesty.
  I came here to start a new life
  for the better of my family,
  And have come across so many
  talents and faces that have impressed me.
  Although it may get quite boring, I am very grateful and it is very peaceful,
  living here in South Plainfield.
