So we all want the high life,
It’s hard to define
Some call it the best life,
I just call it mine.
I wake up everyday
No trouble in my head
Some say it’s empty,
But it’s focused on the bread.
 
Life comes at you fast, money slows it down,

Pull the right strings, bring anybody down
 
To their knees, to your level,

Keeps all the doors unlocked
They say it can’t bring joy,

It incessantly insists interest in imagination.
Justice jeopardizes jihad.
Karma knows.
Lately law lacks love.
Mighty men move mountains.
News never needs normality.
Opposites oddly often oppose.
People pretend peace provides.
Queens question qualified
quantities.
Rise, ready romantics!

He said let me speak, so we let him.
You’ll never guess what came next.
He spoke, and what he said then,
Made my heart skip a beat in my chest
He said, “life goes on, even when we stop living it,
But death only comes and goes.
We gotta take advantage of what we’ve been giving it,
Can disappear before you know
What’s going on. What’s going on?
That’s a good question to ask.
If you would’ve been listening you’d already know,
Instead of sitting there on your ass
You got your hand in the air cause you want my attention,
Then you wave it,...
