Life


Life, By r.p. Stevens Every breath we take , Is one less we have Born one day, Then gone in a flash. I remember growing up, An off the chain git.. I new it all, You couldn't tell me shit.. From swimming pools,to little league, To school and detention A long line of dumb shit I won't even mention.. From O.e. to 8 ball, 20 /20 and whiskey Head at the condo Butt naked and skipping. IF I DIE TOMORROW, AND OFF GOES MY LIGHTS I PROMISE YOU ONE THING I HAD A HELL OF A LIFE.. Homies and enemies, Friends and foes.. Lines on the table, Pine smelled smoke.. Sneaking out Late night Fixing drinks in the bathroom A player in my own mind.. A clown in the classroom.. From the first kiss,First dance, and the first time I got some I was a wild little thing To be honest , I was so dumb.. IF I DIE TOMORROW AND OFF GOES MY LIGHTS I PROMISE YOU ONE THING I HAD A HELL OF A LIFE.. getting older really sux Need money, get a job. U don't like the rules leave, Clean ur room u slob. Stay in school, Cause later u will need it.. But growing up, I would have never believed it.. Late night parties, with x, And sugar cubes. Cracker swamp driving Digging thru cow shit for shrumes. Grad week, October fest, Even spring break College dormitory, How many shots can I take. IF I DIE TOMORROW, AND OFF GOES MY LIGHTS I PROMISE YOU ONE THING I HAD A HELL OF A LIFE. always taken chances Always pushed it to the limit My mom and dad was right I have to finally admit it. I've hit every speed bump And hole on this journey U call them obstacles But life calls them learning.. I've been on top of the world And as low as dirt. This roller coaster I'm on I don't know which one's worst. Well my life is my life The tic tocs of the clock It's my roller coaster Gonna ride it till it stops IF I DIE TOMORROW AND OFF GOES MY LIGHTS I WOULDN'T CHANGE NOTHING IN MY FUCKED UP LIFE. LOL..FELT LIKE WRITING TODAY
