Situations

“Situations” In the morning when I rise On Sundays watching the game with the guys At the table when I eat In the car bobbing to a beat At the job on the paper chase In a session with smoke in my face In the church listening to the Word In my notebook combining nouns and verbs In the gym while making baskets On the court hitting balls with rackets In my bed lying all alone On the field trying to reach the end zone At the bar buying a drink Under the stars just trying to think At the board ironing my clothes In the club throwing them boes At the house just trying to chill At Mama’s house enjoying a meal At the track kicking up dust On the corner catching the bus On the couch taking a nap In the circle trying to rap At the mall buying some shoes In the room feeling the blues On the porch staring up at the sky In the encyclopedia trying to find out why In the yard manning the grill Under the weather waiting to be healed In a boat pulling fish out the water Under the hood putting on a new starter On the side of the road fixing a flat tire On my knees saying prayers getting ready to retire In the kitchen cooking it up for my lady At Victoria’s Secret buying a gift for my baby With my boys bragging on my girl On the clock slaving just to give you the world But regardless where I’m at and regardless what I do The only thing constant is I always think of you
