So Long As

5/10/19 "So Long As" Came a long way from being a rook They're about to forsook Scared to take a look Competition shook Not ready for what I'm about to cook Can't find it in any book Everything is what it took By the end, you'll be hooked It's already afoot Up around a brook In a certain nook Is where I put Each foot Atop miles of soot Better start knowing It's been ongoing Showing No signs of slowing So long as waters are flowing The moon is glowing And life continues growing If need be, I'll make them regret what they did and said Wasn't surprised, because the thought crossed my head Tried to leave me dead So they could get ahead I kept seeing red Which was not just from when I bled Focused on getting some bread Gaining tread And staying fed Then I sped Around straightaways and bends Barely seeing my friends Instead trying to live more on the edge Before I'm on all the these meds And near the end Doesn't matter if I do, or don't get any cred
