I Won'T Bend the Rules
Sometimes I wake up feelin' like Jordan, Jackson, Earvin, or Brown
Yeah one of the Michaels,
So I analyze how my day will play out
and how will my night go,
I'm a certified street disciple,
in a topsy turvy world
some days I roam dizzy on a compass called " How Your Life Goes "
So for support I probe inside the Bible,
You see pressure bust pipes
and mine is building up & I just might blow,
My mental fuse during interludes & ghetto interviews,
So I tiptoe through them like I'm wearing tiny tennis shoes
But I choose not to bend the rules.
I approach society with 10 scuffed up knuckles,
I flex my muscles,
I can't recall my last chuckles,
Because I deal with my constant struggles
that leaves me befuddled,
So while I'm trying to conquer my daily problems,
Sometimes I converse with myself about riddles in my life
and I'm wondering can I solve them,
See I'm 1 move from rock bottom,
and it's a strain going uphill
trying to keep from tumbling down the Hood Slalem,
So I discover a remedy
which is to comb the brutal streets with a fine tooth,
I'm reassured success
because I have information from my Savior
and he has mine to,
So I won't bend the rules
