Try

The past has been written, the future’s been wrote.
Time is a river, and you don’t have a boat.
Swim upstream and never look back.
Have all your things are packed in one knapsack.
You dream of good fortune, of really hitting it rich.
One day you’ll see the light, and crawl out of your ditch.
When you know what you want, chase after your dreams.
Not everything is as easy as it seems.
The past has been written, the future’s been wrote.
Time is a river, and you don’t have a boat.
Swim upstream and never look back.
One day you’ll be in a brand new Cadillac.
For now though, I think you best focus on school.
Get those grades up, or you’ll never be cool.
Don’t do drugs, do what your teachers say,
And I can guarantee you that you’ll turn out okay.
The past has been written, the future’s been wrote.
Time is a river, and you don’t have a boat.
Swim upstream and never look back.
Revenge is hideous and makes your mind go black
An eye for an eye would just leave us all blind,
Whoever made that up must be out of their mind.
I cannot tell you what you should do,
How your future turns out is all up to you.
