Gotta Have Heart To Play This Game
I'm just like any man really
I got what every man has
A heart that beats strong
Get my heart rate up to about 170
When I'm running or jogging
Always run on an incline
I don't look like much
Not that strong or big
I don't take much pride in my body
Just a plain earth body
But it's how much heart you have
Still there is something about me
I can just run and run and
I don't seem to get tired
I didn't even sleep last night
I'm looking out for me
And I'm surviving
And I still can't pay the bills
And I'm 30!
And I have lived in this home for 17 years
Got $237 dollars in the bank account
****! lol
I'm just happy I have a car
And food to eat
I'm not looking to get rich
One thing
One thing I always tried to be good
To be kind to people
To show love to people
I'm just a man
But I'm good
Hard times are coming I think
Hard hard times are coming for America
Tons and tons of military equipment coming into Barstow
FEMA camps everywhere
National guard units training in the streets of Ontario
The people seem to be oblivious
The economy teeters on the brink
Well I have always been alone
Alone and poor
Searching for something
Some fulfillment
A meaningful job
I don't know
Dang here we go again
How many years without a job?
