BALANCE BEAMS
Trying to stay steady on rocky balance beams
Many of days it feels like I'm losing my steam
Never dreamed that living a be so challenging
Taking body blows and head shots in the ring
Waiting for the bell's ding to bring me rest
From fighting but I'm standing up to the test
Some things I can't digest or even consume
Like police killings sending many to their tomb
Gloom and doom keeps hovering in the clouds
The sounds are deafening and extremely loud
But I'm still sticking around until my time is up
May get knocked down a bit but I'm no chump
Many of days it feels like I'm losing my steam

Taking body blows and head shots in the ring
Waiting for the bell's ding to bring me rest
From fighting but I'm standing up to the test
Some things I can't digest or even consume
Like police killings sending many to their tomb
Gloom and doom keeps hovering in the clouds
The sounds are deafening and extremely loud
But I'm still sticking around until my time is up
May get knocked down a bit but I'm no chump

Sometimes there are no words that will suffice
Either do something
Or find something else to talk about
