I'm told its written in the man up stair's book
A camel could pass through a needle hole
But not a rich man to seeing heaven...
But how many are believed to have entered
If not more than seven?
I wonder if it's true with the souls
The good die young I'm told
Do they?
Or they're captured and put on hold
What's your say?
Or you think this is play?
I'll paraphrase.
How many times have you got all you wanted with less pain?
How many times have you discarded something just because it stained?
Or left your room with the bed neatly laid?
Maybe I'll give you a pass on laid and bed
I'm a character performing live in that show
On the first sunlight
For crying out loud,
Why do we applaud
When its our rights they try to fraud?
And prevent ourselves when they start acquiring fame
The swahili have a saying,
If you want to bend a tree stem
Do it whilst it's still wet...
Or is it fish...?
I think I'm messed.!
