The essence of life is so divine that we don't always realize its not what it seems.
Fighting not with others but ourselves to stay alive.
We strive for the best.
But so is everyone else .
The stress keeps us from our motivation, but the inspiration keeps us going .
And going , trying not to settle for less .
I suggest you get to know yourself before you roam around and try to know the world .
Because the world would leave you on your back faster than you can even ask why you deserved to be put in the places where you thought you'd never end up .
Cold and alone, this world filled with crack babies and liquor bottles.
Finding **** before a job and selling yourself for somethin that can't even pay your bills .
Corruption .
The exact place we are headed if we keep treating eachother like we aren't human
,and if we don't find the dignity and pride that is clean enough to walk down the street without feeling like a barrel full of secrets .
Eating up scams ,
and lies that lead you on a road with no point of return
,swerving in and out of lane because baby where your headed ain't someone where anyone would want to be .
Feeling like your stuck between a hard spot and a rock .
You better be strong and throw that rock through that wall
,because without self confidence and pride anyone can break you down
,and you'd be better off beating your head again that rock and wall .
Life.
The essence of it ain't so divine.
Just the thought of it keeps me alive .
