So Damn Lazy

i don't know why i'm so damn lazy,
i keep telling myself that it's not good.
being lazy will get me no where fast,
i'm not doing any of the things that i could.

being lazy will not got me a job,
nor will it feed us or keep us clean.
i need a job to get the things i want,
plus maybe that would keep from being mean.

the main thing i want is my boys,
so i can't be lazy, and go to work,too.
i know this and tell myself this everyday,
you would think that i'd get a glue.

what will it take for me to see,
i don't want to lose my boys you see.
i need to wake up before that happens,
that's not how i want things to be.
