At the track five miles a day
A teenage outlet then reality hit hard
Working couldn't focus on school
Got lost in work during a break up
Work so much forgot to live life
Then job got hard nothing was left
His ghetto side wanted to say F* it all
While he remained professional
Needed the money to pay bills
Didn't settle but took many detours
So many side tracks over back tracks
Not towards his destination
He saw the encounter as experience
Learned the life lesson gained from it
