HOPE IS UNBEARABLE
LOVE IS MUCH PAIN
CARING IS TOO MUCH
LIFE IS IN VAIN
RACE FOR THE FINISH
KEEP A SMILE
DONT FEEL OTTA PLACE
WE'RE ALL HUMAN CHILD
KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THEM BOOKS
GRANDMA WOULD SAY
LIVE WHILE YOU CAN
WE ALL GON LEAVE ONE DAY
LIFE IS A GAME
YOU GOTTA PLAY IT SMART
GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID THAT
FROM THE VERY START
I CHANGE VIEWS
THOUGH I DONT SEE MUCH
NOT LIFE NOR DEATH
COULD KEEP FROM GODS TOUCH
I LIKE TO BE ME
CAUSE IT SETS ME APART
PEOPLE TELL ME IM BRIGHT, AN INTELLECTUALIST,
YOU KNOW, SMART
BUT I DONT BELIEVE THEM
NOPE NOT ONE WORD THEY SAY
BUT I DO BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SAID
ILL BE SUCCESSFUL ONE DAY.
