Falter

8/6/17 Regardless if I spend time as a salter From here to beyond Gibralter Going to make you falter I don't care if you pray at an altar Catch them by the collar Not going to let go even if they holler Spent time growing up in squalor Never was I the best scholar Getting my hands dirty for blue cheese and not no dollars Another rascal I heard about the scandal And pscyhobabble Talking about people like they're cattle I can understand why you're feeling frazzled And rather rattled Toward me so many confide and tattle But don't worry this will get handled And it's not going to be a hassle I will make sure they are used as an example Getting continually trampled By cleats and sandals It will be worth the risk and gamble No matter how far I have to travel I will make sure I win the battle Even if they got to get shackled And put in front of a panel Or left lifeless below or above bits of gravel After all time will always tell and unravel Regardless of if you believe it had anything to do with a bite from an apple
