LIFE KIT
IF YOU’RE UNDER THIRTY
YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT
BUT I’M GONNA TAKE TIME
TO MAKE YOU A KIT
OF KNOWLEDGE YOU’LL NEED
TO EASE PASSAGE THROUGH LIFE
INTERACTIONS MADE SMOOTHER
AND HELP MINIMIZE STRIFE
FIND YOUR BEST PURPOSE
AS QUICK AS YOU CAN
FREELY GIVE OF YOURSELF
TIME AND AGAIN
MAKE SURE ALL TRADES
ARE A WIN; ARE ALL FAIR
GO OUT OF YOUR WAY
TO PROVE THAT YOU CARE
SHOW LOVE FOR YOUR FAMILY
EVERY CHANCE THAT YOU GET
THE FEW CLOSE FRIENDS THAT YOU HAVE
ALSO PART OF YOUR KIT
YOU WON’T ALWAYS BE ABLE
TO PULL IT OFF ON YOUR OWN
FROM ONE OF THOSE FEW
YOU’LL NEED SOME SORT OF LOAN
IT MIGHT BE INSPIRATION
IT MIGHT BE ENERGY
IT MIGHT BE CONSOLATION
BUT YOU’LL NEED IT
WAIT AND SEE
THERE WILL COME THE AUSPICIOUS OCCASION
WHEN, FOR YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD CHEER
YET HUMBLE, QUIET JUBILATION
IS ALL THEY SHOULD EVER HEAR
GIVE CREDIT TO OTHERS
YOU WOULD TAKE FOR YOURSELF
WHEN YOU GIVE THINGS AWAY
YOU INCREASE YOUR OWN WEALTH
YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT
BUT I’M GONNA TAKE TIME
TO MAKE YOU A KIT
OF KNOWLEDGE YOU’LL NEED
TO EASE PASSAGE THROUGH LIFE
INTERACTIONS MADE SMOOTHER
AND HELP MINIMIZE STRIFE
FIND YOUR BEST PURPOSE
AS QUICK AS YOU CAN
