Endurance
I'm learning to pick and choose
what I endure, like what's it all for
relationships for example
you should always sample
what you're about buy
before you check out
is it sweet, is it pleasant
will it leave a bitter taste in my mouth
endurance is for those who
have the will to carry on
it's for those who know exactly
what they have and it's not worth
losing no matter if it times
things don't add up when
you do the math
I'm just swimming in my thoughts
a little poetry while listening to Floetry
still I can't allow myself to get distracted
from the task at hand
the more knowledge I gain
the more I learn that I've been lied to
the more militant I become
I have visions of my people
marching to the beat of one drum
so still endurance for the war I'm in
today's friends are tomorrow's enemies
so whatever battlefield you're on
whether it be love or
all out warfare
make your decision quickly
