Right Back Up
8/26/17
When I was a youth
Rarely lied, to tell the truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Fell down, got right back up
Instead of staying stuck
And not giving a f***
From dawn to dusk
Pushed my luck
Some of which took guts
Was broke thinking that life sucks
Until I started making a lot of bucks
Above the Earth's crust
Was careful with trust
Because I saw too many things that were unjust
And the subject of disgust
Still did what I must
Without a fuss
Got it wrong or right
In the daylight and during night
Living an honest life
