Ruff Ryders

Life is a rough ride. We do laugh at times and rejoice
but we damn sure mourn and cry.
We were born to live and only pass through
some paths on our journey.
We live to learn and learn to live.
I'm costantly learning.
Life has not been a smooth ride for me,
it's been extremely rough.
But it's okay because I find the strength to hold on 
and remain determined enough.
I can't control nothing or nobody but me.
I'm somewhat lost right now 
but I pray for perseverance and I know one day 
I will be happy.
Life looks you dead in your eyes.
It can teach you some lessons if you'r willing to learn 
and it can leave you very wise.
Now hold on tight, strap yourself in and prepare
to let the ride begin.
