The Do's And Don'ts


The Do's and Don't

Your Needs and Wants 

You have to seperate the two

I had one parent at home instead of having two 

I had one pair of shoes while other had a few

I had to accept less 

being a freshman in high school with no job too

but I was grateful my mom still did what she had to do

until one day i got bad news

my life would be new 

mom hit the slammer

and pops ?!well he didnt matter

but life still continues i gotta change my pattern

I got  job

I bought some shoes

I really thought i was making money 

I bought a few

Im lookin new

thought i was coo

but like LL 

I took Losses!! Two!

I blew my money

and how im acting isnt true 

now Im really tapping in

that this aint you 

take the "stack my money" route 

and do what im supposed to do 

so i stacked up 

with the wall my backed up 

im stuck in this mind 

til im back up

and my bank account is backed up

I never had much support I had to learn to get everything the hard way 

stopped playing materialistic games and elevated my mindstate 

you gotta think bigger than you 

or yesterday is where you will stay
