Back in the day - back track to your roots
What's a family tree without a hanging noose?
Tighten the rope - self inflicted abuse
One more look at life before I turn and chunk the deuce
And Why leave a note?- not like anyone cares
Kick over the chair no more time for despair
Gravity controls now I'm gasping for air
Then the rope broke - I guess God was there
Now I laugh it off - looking back at then
So much pain like I remember when
But I survived - yeah me and my pen
Written to cleanse my sins and begin again
Because The blues are only blues if you let them be
Light up the darkness with a happy melody
Like a memory of a child set off into the sea
As his father told him son be all that you can be
Set in stone- this boy's gotta fly
Learn to spread your wings like an angel from the sky
Long road ahead Jacob's ladder to the top
Brain like a train boy this dream'll never stop
I coast and I boast ride to die more than most
Watch that pride overdose quick to turn your a** ghost
Long nights lonely got me feeling really down
I remember when my friends would still come around
Now they're all getting married and having kids
5 years single wanna woman not a trick
But there's gotta be a good girl hidden in this cold world
Hard to save a heart that's been so ignored
My best friend died I wonder where he went
I loved every moment thats time well spent
As The earth keeps spinning wether you like or not
Carpe diem seize the day take your shot
I believe In all of you, people come get a clue
What more do I gotta do but say I love all of you
I got your back I'm true
If you got my back we're crew
If you're hungry I got stew
I think I got enough for you
Feed the needy when there's plenty of crop
Not a dollar to my name when this CD drops
But it's what I do - sh** rhyming is all I got
And if you wanna talk sh** I'll battle on the spot
Get the picture kid you can't handle my eyes
Burn a hole in your skull as I see through your lies
Pinocchio real boy no strings I exist
But the way the worlds turning you can bet God's pissed
Looking down from heaven asking where went the love
All but forgotten as the people push and shove
Folks fighting at wal mart over some brand new shoes
While the man on the corner keeps begging you for food
I know your angry trapped in the working world
Your parents might be sh** and you can't find a girl
So I propose a toast to all those alone
Take a drink and smile you're ok on your own
Don't worry so much life is just a joke
Laughin at the rich while the world goes broke
Folks croak off coke but I never choke off oak
Soul soaked in smoke something like a cloak
Hidden on cloud 9 searching for a dream
Dance with the darkness behind the moon beams
Get lost- in the labyrinths of my mind
Relate to my fate and find your place in time
Live life like a movie - all is see is 3D
As I think who wrote my script was it god or was it me
Do i think the things I think or is free will a fallacy
Old photographs of eternal memories
