Keep Trying

11/9/22 Prices drop then keep rising On the world big brother keeps spying They tell me to keep writing Got to keep striving As well as keep trying On me too many keep lying In the fire I keep frying Can't stop myself, all this B.S. I keep buying Since the dawn of time humans keep fighting For such sad reasons people keep dying Going home on a long road I toke and think as I keep driving Often I'm deep diving Meanwhile continually heat rising I had to translate it because it was in chinese writing A lot of video games and Nintendo I battle with drugs and alcohol it only temporarily helps though I still feel like I'm talking to myself hearing my own echo She thinks I'm just silly like Elmo And that I let myself go But she's a fool, quick to tell so Truth be told, I'd fight for what's right until hell froze Too many of these fellows Still being soft asses like Jello I had to put down the Modelo Step in and help folks while giving an occasional elbow Remember this there is no reset switch If I'm tested, they'll soon respect it I could give a if they said I got to stack this bread If you don't watch it, could wind up dead quick Before the start of the next shift All alone inside a dark house Am I on point or just far out? I drink and smoke in very large amounts I use to but now I no longer pour my heart out No matter if they smart mouth
