SOMETIMES

Sometimes you will go overboard
     to try to prove a point
Like not being told what to do
     I think that comes from being in the joint

Sometimes you will think certain things
     that will be way out of the norm
Like someone is thinking something of you
     but it's from your own thoughts that they form

Sometimes driving you see a car
     and you'll think someone is after you
Oblivious to what you are thinking
     I just carry on with what I do

Sometimes we will be in a crowd
     you will seem anxious or ill at ease
I wish for you peace at this time
     God give him solace please

Sometimes I wish I could change him
     make him into someone he'd love
too many years of being conditioned
     He lost when push came to shove
