Second Life

Everybody say yolo but everybody wanna live twice, 
wanna do what they want on earth but still want God to 
be merciful and gracious in the second life. There's no 
way to live perfect not as an earthling where so much in 
this life seems to hurt and nothing can ease the pain, not 
the fortune or the fame the lane you're in so many have 
fallen and sometimes that gravitational pull you call the 
limelight isn't the spotlight you should be standing in, but 
being finite and in the flesh dims your vision of he who 
has giving you the ability to infinitely progress and yes 
this world and it's pleasures are calling you but 
sometimes you gotta learn to ignore and send it to 
voicemail now I aint trying to throw my God or my beliefs 
on you but what's so satisfying about your life, I mean I 
know about your sleepless nights and the fights you get in 
that you obviously can't win and you hope the liquor and 
the women will hopefully satisfy your appetite for 
destruction but gunz will only bring roses and roses 
might have you knocking on heavens door so what's the 
constant war for, I ain't in ya shoes but sometimes when 
you win you really lose and there's no excuse for your 
actions other than your emotions lost control and truth is 
most of us only pray on occasion hoping that God would 
intervene and change the situation but when he doesn't 
then what, it either brings you closer or pushes you 
further off the edge but in this you only live once 
mentality remember because you never seeked him you 
made your own bed so it was you who put yourself on 
that ledge...so the only ones who are truly alive, are the 
saints who chose in the flesh for Christ sake we will die in 
order to gain access to this second life
