Why I Wake Up

there's many days i wake up with no right answer to question that are shot my way
that includes the way i live and my life is going every which way
i decide to take a chance and this is what it left me an ex wife , two kids, and a 
father that loves to hate me
i made it a goal to live up to standard and to live my goal
to make my kids happy some people just don't know
i maybe down right now but ill never be out because as long as my two gifts
walk into a room that's a sign of greatness i help create
so with my neck out on the line day in and day out
my only goal is to be a great dad to my sons
so just you remember the bills are always paid, the boys well fed, no holes 
in their clothes or animals living in their hair
and when its time for you to come pick them up
they always remind me that they love their father and that why i always wake up

Day One

tonight i will say goodbye 
to my family, to my friends, 
to my co-workers, to my community
because i may not be here tomorrow
oh don't worry its not bad like 
me dying or being sentence to jail
but its at the level of importance 
in my heart
tonight i say my last farewell to my 
old life, my old problems, my old struggles
and look on the brighter side of tomorrow
just because thats another day that has so much
value with no cost
tonight i put don't my problems once and for all
as i step in this room and more off day one
