simply life


I never grew up in poverty or tragedy

But in a reality

Full of royalty and principalities

Or at least that's what people see of me

In my life

There's a low possibility

For me to be seen

As a casualty casually

Strolling by

Until I'm stopped by

A person wondering when and why

So by surprise

I answer without coming close to the border line

So I entertain my mind

By thinking about becoming a millionaire

Without using life lines

Sometimes

I make a beat to keep track

Of those who attack me

In parts where I'm lacking

Quite frankly

I couldn't careless about the things you say of me

"I" may be in the center of society

But it doesn't always involve me
