Him Or Me
Him or me
again Im tired
Wake up early to
not get fired
Struggle with my heart
to do What is right
but i'm always Tempted
to stop this fight
I am old
Im Young no more,
winter snow is here
And it is cold,
and my runny nose
With my beanie on
I suppose
Over 40 now
this is how it goes
But i'm not done
I'm in school,
bet I won't graduate?
I will get my cap
And walk the stage
because I set
A Goal to date.
It's not all bad
I mean this new life
After I got wet
and got baptized
But repentance keeps
me up late
My bodies weak
and my mental state
Work is hard
people put me down
And they try to clown
and pour on hate
What is up with him?
That Marine is weird,
he is anxious to
And he don’t smile
They team up on me
the insults pile
But i won't crack
even though it hurts
Put Downs are stacked
from those perverts
It gets a little deep
but I fight on
Got a job to keep
kids Mouth count on.
The dead guys him,
the new guys me,
I got a good life
I am the king
and i love my queen
I'll play the cards
that God dealt me
With three kids to
full house Beats you.
My strength may fail
My character won't
so don't forget
This path i walk
it aint for loss
this ain't no talk
In the battle though
to Lift Him up
and shut the door
On the enemy but
I need to be
On the floor.
As I pray
For my needs
to repent of sin
And get rid of greed
may this Godspeed
Me up to
victory
now you can see
What I clearly mean,
who will win today
Him or me?
