Maybe


Don't take for granted what you have.   Cause it could be took in a blink of a eye. Excuse me , I'm trying to fly . Really don't have to much time to wait around. I'm trying to figure out who I am. My confidence is starting to deteriorate. I need something to pick me back up. So I wrote this . Take a break from all of the madness . Let's be real. Is it a real chance of me being a rapper .  Or am I dreaming false dreams . Should I wake up to reality. Cause I seen that look in my momma eyes. She needs help with the bills. I told her don't worry. Cause I'm about to get a deal. Get you a bigger house . And I'll pay all the bills. But I'm starting to have 2nd guesses .  Cause I'm writing restless. Really don't have the money to record in the studio. So I'll create and read my own. Then let people hear it. Maybe I'll get a good response. Holding on to the word maybe. Hoping my pears don't hate me. Cause things are looking shady.  Waiting on the sun. But its like a solar eclipse has lasted for days . And I'm tired of seeing the tears . And I don't know how to dry my eyes. Look up in the sky's . And maybe I'll see God. Or maybe I'll beat the odds. 1 and a billion . Everyone wants to see me fall. I'm praying I don't miss that call. Holding on the word maybe. Will I have money to take care of my baby.   Even tho he or she not born yet. Will I have money for diapers or milk. Try not to trip. But I can't help but to wonder . Cause I look around and see other people having babies before graduation. But can't take care of them.  So the walk out and slam the door. And I'm not with that . My pops taught me better .
