Adroit

11/29/20


Working toward forgiveness
With god as my witness
An occasional grimace
So much more than a scrimmage
And beyond what I ever envisioned
Helps to stay ambitious
Even when it seems so far off in the distance

Minding my business, hardly looking
No being pampered, for myself and others I'm cooking
Towards the end, I'm booking

I Keep pushing
Maintaining footing
Working on turning it into a good thing

My heart is really in this
I can still win it
So long as I never stop until the finish
Otherwise my chances will diminish

What the foik
You keep on talking shoit
And I will prove my point
By being adroit
From here to way beyond Detroit

All crap
B.S. is what I call that
Ya'll better fall back

And chill
Before it gets ill
On either side of the hill
You think you do, but you don't got the skill
To get the job done like I will
I'm coming in for the kill
Not for the thrill
Never going to get my fill
I'm still
With it, you don't know the drill
Blood continues to spill
Over money in the form of a bill
Anywhere, not just in Brazil
People act like they know a lot, when they really know nil
