Pray For Our Kids

Moonless night on the one night I finally talked her into going out
Cancel the late picnic and dancing under the stars
How romantic is sitting in pitch black trying to pour wine out of a box into a styrofoam cup
Slicing my fingers while cutting cheese for wheat thin crackers  
Trying to feed her grapes but I'm just smashing them against her face  
Bugs biting and we can't see shit
Should've known this is what would happen  
Can't remember the last time I moved a step forward  
But  I have passed the finish three times  
Backwards  
Down three laps being laughed at  
Damn God can I get alittle manhood back  
 
Who runs their fastest in 105 degree heat  
Like standing naked frying bacon  
Stop  
Ask yourself if the crisp is worth the pain  
Burn marks and clogged heart  
Pissed cause you falling hard  
Stop  
Ask yourself who put the grease on the floor  
Self destruct cause we're afraid to be open with ourself  
A weak core covered up by fat  
And you can't see how the world was able to leave you  
Turtles can't keep up with rabbits  
But we seen as a child  
The turtle wins by never giving up  
You quit before you begin  
Forget ever leading  
To lazy to even follow  
To late to make a move now  
Became rooted like the weeds
Rooted like the weak ass weeds  
 
We take advice as an insult  
Listen to criticism like it's hate  
Applaud to see someone lose  
Without cheering for the winner  
Cause somehow they are taking away from you  
Cause death in our neighborhood by protesting death in our neighborhood  
Steal rent money from your roommate  
To buy weed from your dad  
Have a kid then abandon kid  
With the nerve to yell at the judge cause four digits late on child support  
Explaining to your cell mate how you gave forty dollars last week  
We ain't doing a lot of new shit these days  
Every mistake has been made  
Check YouTube for the video  
Untill then lets all pray that our kids are smarter then there grandparents children is
