Back Seat

It's my life, but I always took the back seat Cause I wanted peace & quiet as I enjoy the ride While they all up in my business taking control For they always saw a need to take me on While I always got a hold of my own life I took the back seat, watched them decide Decide most things for my life Cause I always knew where I wanted to be Saving my energy for when they're done controlling I'll run further cause I had my reserves I'd already seen the future when I was young And so I made them feel important Cause that's maybe how they cope with their issues Making them feel important taking centre stage So that they feel I can't live without them For I knew when I was old enough they'll tire And let me take control, But since I've always been in the back seat They'd always worry that I'll be a wreck Not knowing I was always the one driving, all they did was lead While all this time I was learning But letting them have the first watch, Cause its okay being controlled when you young So that when you old you run your own show Calling all shots without anyone speaking over your shoulder I listened more never talking back Just like the man in the passenger seat With the occasional nodd and a smile To show I'm closely following on Waiting for my stop so that I alight and go my way The PO£T Humphrey Haj
