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."
