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.
