to true to be alive


I woke up feeling like trash

Wonder if I could be good and girl on my back

wanted to get a job get some stacks of cash

 

I just thought of life and said to myself be yourself

I walk to the kitchen And grabbed the box of cereal

I put it down I thought of no one else except You

 

I went to the bathroom and got dressed for the day

I call you and ask if your feeling all right

you tell that you need help girl I'm on my way

 

I'm there and you tell me that your okay

You tell me that your boyfriend came over 

 

I asked you if I could see him you said no I'm sorry but you gotta be on your way

 

I leave and act like its okay

but it's not I'm crying I'm raging like fire

I loved her as I drove off to my hay

 

the Next day I go to a job interview

I see the lady and I say hi how are you

I talk to them and tell about my life story and they say that I'm not meant for you

 

I get my first paycheck 

I got so excited I almost burnt the house down

I felt I was gonna go brain dead

 

The next day I got the new iPhone X 

I added tinder

I wondered could I be next?

 

I found someone just about as equal As me she was beautiful 

Ended Up being perfect for each other

Then I felt real suitable
