One chapter ends, another begins, One down, who knows how many more untill it ends, This ones gonna change it up a bit, Started it, now must finish, no desire to quit, Casually makin' my way, One day I'll make it I'm sure- one day? What day? When will it arrive? When will I find out why, I strive to survive, Takin' all that's brought to my attention, More then what I think I can take, seems to always come in my direction, Jumpin' hurdles at a record speed, Tryin' to maintain balance between want and true need, In a race, only opponent being myself, Fightin' alone, to budget between health and wealth, My yin to my yang, Always tryin' to just maintain, My life, just tryin' to do my thang.
