Baldanny

Open up your mind
 then rewind 
to a time
 where you didnt have a dime
 were you hungry and blind? 
or were you the kind
that a way to eat you did find? 
 where you happier that way? 
or is the money really as great? 
as they told you it would
I think I'd rather starve than go on and never experience the hunger.
 I think sometimes it is way more fun to be scared and to blunder.
Because those who never had to look up can only look down.
But not me.
Lookin up my whole life is what keeps my stomach empty.
 No matter what I get now
  I will always remember.
and that is what will 
get me the crown, 
  get me out of this town, 
   make me world renowned. 
someday. 
  If I want it. 
Yes this life tastes much better..
