Life,Sucess

When god gives me another day I wonder sometimes should I pray Does he think that I'm going to make it Why does he forgive me for all my mistakes Or will he give me life until I get things right Then take my life away. In my life I want to succeed Im going be what it is that i want to be I don't want people to look at me and you "You couldn't get far" like what i saw on T.V I'll get farther than any man Im here doing what i got to do that's my master plan But there you are struggling and in need of new shoes I look at how you used to diss me Now you in need so you miss me and want to act cool I would have stayed your friend and do what you do But now you a bum on the street ain't even finish high school I'm sitting here looking at my old life thanking myself i wasn't Dumb enough to be your wife. I told you i was a strong black woman with a plan Now i got you singing "she got the whole world in her hand."
