Life
Roll, run, spin and stop!
Life is a crazy bump
I roll the dice I get a two
I look down and say, this is poor
two steps forward, three steps back
I jump to a pool I land in a pit
What the hell! I yell like a bell
Please God give me some luck!
Then here it is I get a hundred bucks!
I look at them full with greed
I beg, I need more please!
Next day comes up and there you go
I get more money and to me they flow
I reach top ten
richest men
But I can't stop from wanting more!
I build a 6 six stars hotel,
I need more gold!
I get married to this fairy
I tell my friend, his name is Larry
This is it, this is my time!
He looks at me, all come and all will fly
I look at him as if he was crazy
And out the door straight to my home
I pass by a barefooted guy
I look at him and see myself
Ten years back when time was old
He gave me a gun and pressed the trigger
And all his world turned into black
The police came and I felt safe
I looked at the gun and laughed in shock
I saw my world saying good-bye!
Now here I am behind the bars
I hereby am sentenced to spend
another more decade in the dark
with no money with no pride
My so-called wife took a flight
and landed somewhere in the night!
With all my money with all my luck
I now sit and keep on saying
Roll, run, spin and stop!
