I’ve believed in you and all of your lies I know I’m only a victim of my own demise For every time you ever let me down, I have forgiven you, I spent every minute of every day trying to see you through I’ve begged and pleaded for you to live your life right The only time your ears listen to me is when I’m all you have out here to even put up a fight My struggles run deep through me as I have to ask myself why Why is it I fight so hard for your freedom when you’re free you don’t even try This gangster mentality you have taken on to be Is only a mask to hide your pain and fear thinking nobody can see I wish you could see or even care how your actions hurt more than you They take more of my life every day and will some day effect your children too Your words you speak are full of hate you have no respect or remorse I’m afraid you will regret these things if you don’t change and get back on coarse I taught you manners and respect I raised you not to steel or lie and try to do what’s right You’ve come to a crossroad in your life when you’re hanging on by a string tied by a knot but not so tight I pray if your given this last chance you understand what waits for you if you go down the wrong road For next time son this ride I’ve rode with you I won’t ride again, you will carry your own load

Life’s Ride
I wonder if my life And all of its things Is held up by A set of strings It just seems to me That every day Someone else Is deciding my ways I wonder if I am really me Or if someone else Decides who I'll be And I wonder if I'll lose this bet And remain A marionette I wonder if I should be this way Or if it's better To break away What I wonder most In all of these things Who is the one Pulling these strings Is it someone close Or a large crowd That keeps me from saying What I wish to aloud And I wonder if I'll lose this bet And remain A marionette I wonder if I should be this way Or if it's better To break away If I break these strings Will I crash as I fall Or will I learn To fly above it all And I wonder if I'll lose this bet And remain A marionette I wonder if I should be this way Or if it's better To break away
