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? By: BEARDEDJARHEAD
