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
