"Catch 22"

Ever since I was a child, my mind’s been runnin wild..

Far beyond a hundred miles from guns to bibles it runs in cycles

From the mothers I’ve known who’s kids were took from this planet

to the couple other mothers who just took them for granted

You have your own mind, yet always let your woman decide it

So if you think you’re a leader man, you’re really miss guided

Even the right path is the wrong turn that loops back to a dead end

So keep your enemies close, even those that act like a best friend

And If life really is an UP HILL battle, then what happens after 40?!

To whom do we pass the glory to enhance the story of those who have passed before me?

Life’s about give n take which becomes more of a tug of war

Yet the winners are the first to fall and there’s nothin’ more?

No wonder winning doesn’t have the same ring as once before

Now its just a morgue, a bunch of corpse found under someone’s porch

Some say the cycle of life is the revival of Christ

N the bible is a vital device against a suicidal demise

Work the grave shift, til you collapse of old age n, die..

While family cant afford the space to put ya grave in, why?

I mean….how you gonna purchase a plot with stories of debt?

not ignoring respect, fortune comes in more than just the form of a check

Its torn from the depths.. of those forming a breath

Through the births of knights… and the Mourning of deaths

And no matter the drug, mental stability causes bodily harm

With or without insurance it’ll cost you your leg, n probably arm

Some say we cant change, this is how we were made from the start

Some say we don’t age, so stay drunk at bars

But Mind, body, and soul.. you can’t make em impart

So maybe we’re old souls who remain young at heart
