I know you hear me so listen close. Its what you think that matters most. We can boast about these post. Without these dreams, It seems, we lose what matters most. These schemes, playing us against our hopes. Got us Up against the ropes, thoughts up in smoke. Just when I lost all hope, my mirror image inspired hope. Getting high off myself, like a rope a dope. success getting me stressed, my life's a mess, I must confess. The more I make, the less a progress. These haters love you with all this disrespect. Catching writers block in the winners circle, got me scares to death. The critics taking hits below the belt, and my paychecks pay the dept. The fans turn against me, kept my cool, by holding my breath. These bills piling up, spent my whole life savings, there's no saving my savings. Keep praying to god, but I'm still waiting. Life has its up and downs. I just wish it would make up its mind, this shaky ground makes for lite sleeping. I can't even sleep in on the weekend.
