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
