My name is Eli

The ability to do better was put in my genes.
Black? Now my favorite color is green.
I don't do anger, it's a waste of time.
And no more letting myself fall behind.
My preferred drinks are organic, no more soda.
And I abide by a stricter code of honor to serve my moral quota.  
I won't be weighed down in any endeavor
By dejection, depression, or even someone better.
My love of Dragonball remains the same,
But I won't spend all day playing some silly game.
Some more exercise and less crying,
If you're calling my bluff then you'd be lying.
It's my resolve to be a new guy.
No more Deonté, My Name Is Eli!
