(poems go here) This shit is plain out stressing me out
Let me take a second to explain what it’s about
I currently attend a life where the tests are hard
So the grades I have is dropping on my report card

I’m trying my best, but your best only goes but so far
Sometimes I just feel like hoping in my car
And just drive, hoping it'll take me elsewhere
Cause I just can’t seem to stand it here
I’m traveling down a road that I can’t help but to fear
Now it’s got me thinking why do I even care?

Hook:
Don’t let life keep you down
Killing you softly, without even making a sound
But before you hit the ground, just think of this rhyme
Cause to me man, breath, you still got time.

I mean seriously, why does it give me some concern
Why can’t I do the usher and just let it burn
But instead I give it control, and I give it a turn
And time after time it’s nothing good that I learn

Cause all this time I’ve been in the passenger seat
Always taking shit, and being burned by life's scorching heat
But it’s time to put this tune to a whole new beat
But man I’m unsure if it’s too big of a leap

Hook:
Don’t let life keep you down
Killing you softly, not making a sound
But before you hit the ground, just think of this rhyme
Because to me man, you still got time.

These thoughts I wonder as I slowly become the driver
So far so good, because sooner or later I know I will expire
And this is only because everyone’s life is on a timer
And the only ones that survive are the ones that are fighters.

As I start to take control, son I’m driving now
No more will I let life take me downtown

Hook:
Don’t let life keep you down
Killing you softly, not making a sound
But before you hit the ground, just think of this rhyme
Because to me man, you still got time.

Everyone in the glorious NYC
Now here’s the morale of this story
I’ve been through a lot of shit so just take it from me
Do what you do, and be what you are
And do better than your best and you will see
If you’re a he, a she, don’t quit, never leave.

Cause things will most likely turn in your favor
Cause no matter what, nothing is written in paper
No one but you is in control of your destiny
Don’t get me wrong, you will regret living worry-free
And be blinded by life's numerous ecstasies
But again don't let anything hold you down
Cause in your life, YOU should be the one that’s crowned.
