Revelations

Ive finally done it
Ive figured it out
I know y y'all don't know
what I'm about

And y'all don't know
what i bring 2 the table
Cuz y'all 2 busy reading
my "white guy" label

But my life ain't a fable
there's no happy ending
The cost of a good life
is worth more than I'm spending

And these wings still need
mending according 2 me
Cuz they once allowed me
2 b happy and free

Ya know, i once had not
a care in the world
But suddenly one day
my life went 4 a twirl

It was flushed down the
toilet like left over food
Every since that day
Ive been in a bad mood

Ive scared away every friend
Ive ever had
And every time i think about it
i get really mad

My life is like boiling water
waiting 2 over flow
Cuz i bottle my emotions
till they're ready 2 blow

And when they come out
all u hear is a rumble
The words, they don't make sense
cuz they all in a jumble

Ne words that u catch
wont b very clear
Cuz they all random thoughts
so its unsure what you'll hear

But ill give u a hint
ill clue u in
The gist of it is
life's a game u cant win

Best learn that now
i mean really quick
Cuz in the midst of life
things can get really thick

All of your problems
can scramble 2gether
Like a group of homeless people
in really bad weather

And b4 u know it
u feel you've duggin your grave
And your life is so hopeless
its not worth it 2 save

So leave all thats behind u
back in the past
Find u some real friends
and find them real fast

And when u have problems
talk 2 those friends
Cuz they're just like family
they're not passing trends

And if u got a girl
u had better b tight
Cuz she can offer u comfort
when you've had a rough night

And no matter how bad it gets
don't abandon those who love u
Cuz they not ones 2 judge
or b considered above u

They offer support and
encouragement whenever needed
And the love that they have 4 u
is never exceeded

And when u make a mistake
and things get really heated
They're the ones 2 remind u
not 2 repeat it

And don't race through life
in a rush 2 mature
4 a missed childhood
there is no cure

But don't take my word 4 it
its just one of many views
The life that we live
is dictated by the decisions we choose

In this world, you've got 2
live life your own way
So don't b intimidated
by what others say

Cuz all we have in this world
is our bonds and our ties
So don't mess up your friendship
cuz ya heard rumors and lies

Now, if u wrote a book about your life would it b worth reading
Or would chapter one
just continue repeating

Cuz u made one mistake
and never adjusted
Then suddenly you've lost
every friend you've ever trusted

So don't imitate me
be quick on your feet
Always have a back-up plan
so you'll not miss a beat

So learn from my mistakes
and don't copy me
Follow these instructions
and I'm sure you'll live happily

But just in case I'm wrong
i promise ill pray
Cuz everybody deserves
happiness eventually, someday......
