All That

9/20/21 In a world full of males that act like a 'tom cat' Truth be told, they're at the bottom of the food chain like a wombat I'm tired of people treating others like dog crap More destructive than a swamp rat I wasn't always on track Traveling down a lost path In the sky I saw a flash While sipping out a tall glass Never got a call back Or thought I was 'all that' Said it would be a 'small tax' Yet it never had your best intent at heart From the start Leaving you to fall flat The guilty usually panic and haul ass Meanwhile most of y'all yap A life of perks and drawbacks There'll always be contrast At my best or worst Set to work Meanwhile the greedy obsessed with net worth Too f***ed up and hungover, sometimes my head hurts Often I was the one who bled first Winding up with a red shirt First things first All over this Earth Do your research Too often people getting coerced And usurped Evil lurks Not always a blessing, but a curse If there's one thing I know Ups and downs, just how life goes Clearly time shows Always got to stay on my toes Not exactly Mozart For the most part, paid attention and listened Took wisdom Found it by not being a chicken The secret was hidden And in an area deemed 'forbidden' As the situation diffused or plot thickened In this cruel yet beautiful world we live in
