91 Years Old At 19


Nothing can beat Knowing yourself

91 years old  

I Know I Know I Know I'm in good Health

Depression could never swallow me

I feel like the lottery

You should be blessed you played your numbers

And got yourself a part in me 

I told them I mature fast 

And I'm worth a lot

You just sold our bonds too ealy cause I never came stocked

With all of your wants, pleasure, lust, joy, excitement, and luxury

Instead of the man I am

You let that say if you put up with me

But I love myself

Nothing can beat Knowing yourself

91 years old

I Know I Know I Know I'm in good health

I lived through this
