Yesterdays memories fade like fallen leaves
Colored in by arrogance, ignorance and naivete
Despite the far off peril of days gone by
what used to be reality
now live as myths lingering in my own mind
Self esteem held together by shoe string and duck tape
Yet there still remains comfort in knowing I get to determine my own fate
(Slight Pause)
I'm mesmerized by how the potential of youth gets circumvented by circumstances and latency
how that potential gets swallowed whole by distractions and complacency
Lazy dreamers egos age like worn clothes
babies become broken adults, because far too many arent watched over
Many of them will be slain
All that effort to be delivered out of heaven just to die a fallen souljah
