what's the best laid plain
trying to figure it out will most likely be my demise
withstanding storms, earthquakes, tornados, and even blizzards
been through so many different situations I'm surprised
my skin does not change colors like a lizard
I want to relax, recline, and release
but my inner soul is continually battling the warrior beast
constantly challenging my ideals and morals
but the heavy weight gloves are on my fist
and like one of those gray gorillas in the mist
I'm protecting my treasure until my flesh no longer inhales another breath
so I keep my eyes peeled
trying to avoid my blood's spill
but I'm young and black.........
........so you know the deal
gangs, selling drugs, incarceration, or death is my destination
does not matter if I set goals or have determination
cause sooner or later I will meet the King of All Creation!
