Back To Sipping
7/7/22
At first it's uplifting
Just want the best for family and friends while living
I'd be content to enjoy a meal with them for thanksgiving
Meanwhile time continues ticking
As there is a battle for control through laws and restricting
They attempt population control yet it's growing not thinning
Since the beginning
Took occasional L's, but mostly winning
Even when it goes to extra innings
I'm not grinning
I see all this B.S. in the fine printing
Someone guilty tried to frame another with false evidence they were pinning
Is that what you'd call sinning?
In pools of money constantly swimming
Never once going back to smoking trimming
Potential still brimming
Yet I overdo it with drugs and alcohol therefore my head is spinning
I dived deep instead of on the surface just skimming
Paying for stupid like government tax and shipping
Still all these schmucks having others do their own bidding
I want no part, I'm dipping
Back to sipping
From reality I'm drifting
You must be tripping
I'm the wrong one to be whipping
Because in the end you'll be limping
As blood continues dripping
No trace ever found despite originally existing
People always gossiping and flipping
Over every little thing
Time flies by always zipping
Loss of footing, but refuse to be slipping
Regaining composure at it again after getting a better gripping
I'm back to chiseling and chipping
Just do the math
Life's always moving fast
Not ready for it then you'll lose and crash
Now how true is that?
