Keep Trying
11/9/22
Prices drop then keep rising
On the world big brother keeps spying
They tell me to keep writing
Got to keep striving
As well as keep trying
On me too many keep lying
In the fire I keep frying
Can't stop myself, all this B.S. I keep buying
Since the dawn of time humans keep fighting
For such sad reasons people keep dying
Going home on a long road
I toke and think as I keep driving
Often I'm deep diving
Meanwhile continually heat rising
I had to translate it because it was in chinese writing
A lot of video games and Nintendo
I battle with drugs and alcohol it only temporarily helps though
I still feel like I'm talking to myself hearing my own echo
She thinks I'm just silly like Elmo
And that I let myself go
But she's a fool, quick to tell so
Truth be told, I'd fight for what's right until hell froze
Too many of these fellows
Still being soft asses like Jello
I had to put down the Modelo
Step in and help folks while giving an occasional elbow
Remember this there is no reset switch
If I'm tested, they'll soon respect it
I could give a if they said
I got to stack this bread
If you don't watch it, could wind up dead quick
Before the start of the next shift
All alone inside a dark house
Am I on point or just far out?
I drink and smoke in very large amounts
I use to but now I no longer pour my heart out
No matter if they smart mouth
