Once Upon a Time…


Once Upon a Time…

There was a realization in society

We all try to prove things

Then prove something else

All we get is a bunch of wasted time

Time lost through fighting just to come to conclusions

This leaves so many people in delusions

Everything shaped around law, politics, money and fame

Shape the fuck up man

There’s a bigger picture in the frame

Most of us have a similar pursuit in life

We call it happiness love and family

What yall are governing makes it a tedious expedition to happiness

When really,

It can come easily and naturally

We have all these hoops we gotta jump through to find only pieces of happiness

They all over the floor can only pick one up at a time

Clock is ticking life-time is limited

This shit is what it is

Only for a time being- limited edition

Such a distracted generation

Once Upon a Time… wait this is real
