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
