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
Cancel the late picnic and dancing under the stars
