Running

The greats can only rise
Not being humble causes the fall
To think out of the box places you ahead of your time
Yet death has a sting that no man has escaped from
Why do the good die early and the wicked die late
I'm on the run to those pearly gates
But I'm find myself driving both sides of a lane
I know I can't serve God and man
Is that the decision it takes to become a man?
The dark places are sometimes the brightest
Maybe seeing with the mind is what leaves me not feeling slighted
Numbers and noises
Not many have heard
Not many will ever feel
No one will ever really know why Jack took Jill up that hill
Maybe everyone is Jack
If only we all could lack fear
Its under these skies that we remain in ill repair
Societal norms are the everyday blues
Toes will always tap
Thoughts will always dance
The masses chant
The heroes fail
After all they're just men
Men who like the rest can't win to prevail.

Consistency

I love you
You don't love me
Thanks dad

Told me sorry is nothing but a word
A simple mishap

Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on

God blessed me with a Mom
Who loves me in my rights and wrongs

Pushed me to be smarter
Pushed me to go farther
Trained me to think with my head and give all I have to offer
Death before dishonor
Do whats right
Do what God says
Remember who you are
If they work hard, you have to work harder

I still haven't made it yet, but I know will
I've outgrown those mountains, they now look like hills

Come down to earth
Bring it all back home
37206 reminds me of everything I've become

Spent many days and many nights of just dreaming
Met consistency on the way
Makes life feel so pretty

From branded names to new faces
I'm no longer lonely
From doubted wishes to hunger pains
I wrote a new story

Not sure of how life ends
Just know I'm not ready
I grew in love once
Found out its not that deadly

Ran off with my heart,
Don't really want it back
Ran off with my heart,
Put my life on a different track

Learning to live within my means
Trying to give her all the things
Failing to deliver perfection
Creating a smile brighter than her skin complexion

I love her and she loves me
We argue and we disagree
We make it look so easy
We know our happiness
Is key to the better things

Prayer and emotions
Calm seas grander than oceans
If these weren't the tricks up my sleeves
Then life wouldn't even be.
