Life

I had to learn how to be a man on my own My dad died that night in his home Right in front of my eyes I looked to the sky and said "I love you dad" With tears in my eyes, I had to realize that the sun will come up again And that the night will fall again A new life ill begin, teach my bro to win and not to sin Be there for my mom till the very end Even thru the hard times i still have to grin Sometimes life gets congested like a packed gym Just be prepared cause tomorrow you might see the grim I mix the punch with the gin and try to kill the pain 10 beers i drank and for 30 ill strain Just to make the pain go away.... but its the wrong route But who cares anyways thats what life is about.
