Live fast die young
Has been my motto before
I was young dumb and full of cum
And all I wanted was more
Of something
To fill
The Void
Life is such a race I can't seem to win
But I'll run 'til I'm sore
Doesn't matter where you're from all that matters is
Are you rich or poor
It seems
Sometimes
To me
If you don't worry about the future
You're bound to re-create the past
If you just focus on the present
You're bound to make some memories that last

Sow

I took the easy way out too many times before
It's not something I adore
If I was a goat on a mountain top
I'd fall asleep and probably snore
But now I feel like I'm a man again
With a job and responsibilities
I work my ass off every day and night
For little to no pay
Coffee in the morning
Beer before I sleep
Gamble all my paychecks
Sow just what I reap
I've seen friends go back to school and they don't pay for it
Their parents are footing the bill
& It's all in the name of education
And that's alright with me
But when they grow up they will be in debt
And that's not where I want to be
I want to be where the wind blows me
And that just happens to be here
I wanna have a lot of integrity
My hustle is honesty
Coffee in the morning
Beer before I sleep
Gamble all my paychecks
Sow just what I reap

Is That Not Illegal?

Is that not illegal?
Think about what you do?
Is that not procedural
If I have to do it, why don't you?
I know that there are exceptions
But that never makes the news
If we agree on something
It's that no one deserves abuse
Is that not illegal
To want protection from the law
Isn't it just procedural
To be looking out for us all?
It doesn't always have to be a quick draw
Nobody's firing at you
No need to have to worry
The only thing you have to do
Is realize we're in this together
No one is out to get you
You can't just keep on acting
Like this world is only made for few
So if you want people to stick together
You gotta be part of the glue
Is that not illegal?
Think about what you do
Isn't that not procedural?
If I have to do it why don't you?
