Life lesson!


Roll the damn dice. Life is a gamble or the hand you are delt, People will ramble, the house wins, defeat felt. Fortune they say favours the brave, And if one day you lose don't cry, behave. A time will come, all eyes upon you, Contributing factors will give you the clue. Mind of a fox and balls of an ox, Show your hand or roll the dice rocks. We've all had a go, I remember my first, My heartbeat was racing, thought i was dying of thirst. A nervousness, a slight unrest, My day had come, my final test. Feel like ten men and bare your the chest, This boy today will leave the nest. My turn had come to roll the dice, To seperate the men from mice. Remembering my dads advice, The worlds a cake go get your slice. As adrenalin and fear combine, Feel the rush upside your spine. What comes next one can't define, Like the air we breath one can't confine. This is where it all becomes crystal, Yes life is a game but not your head to a pistol. Don't doubt yourself, handle the heat and the preasure, And if you don't get the money, the story you'll treasure. This life that you have, live it for you, Watch the gray skies turn into blue. Call your own shots, don't wait for a dare, Now there stands a man not many will stare. Easy come, easy go, the wind doesn't die, when you can't hear it blow. Sit back now and observe your rivals melt like snow. Hurry up now boy, you don't live twice, Take your chance, ROLL THE DAMN DiCE.
