Fools Gold
Trying not to become emotionally castrated
Being numb and having zero fucks to give
But I've come to grow even more frustrated
Questioning if this is how I'm supposed to live
I give and give while feeling taken for granted
To some, what's best for me is an afterthought
Causing the sum to equate to being unappreciated
Continuing to seek the peace of which I've always sought
Bought the golden rule that makes me feel like a fool
Investing in the mind state that deeds will be reciprocated
Return on investment seems to be me used as a tool
Good deeds being punished, unrequited, or relegated
Dejected with thoughts of being disrespected too often
If I were hot-headed people would be less inclined
My laid back demeanor must make me seem softened
I value an uncaged life so my rage remains flatlined
The line between love and hate becoming thinner
Too much deception from the inception of love and war
Each encounter has me getting angrier and angrier
A consumer ready to return the gold back to the store
Being numb and having zero fucks to give
But I've come to grow even more frustrated
Questioning if this is how I'm supposed to live
I give and give while feeling taken for granted
To some, what's best for me is an afterthought
Causing the sum to equate to being unappreciated
Continuing to seek the peace of which I've always sought
Bought the golden rule that makes me feel like a fool
Investing in the mind state that deeds will be reciprocated
Return on investment seems to be me used as a tool
Good deeds being punished, unrequited, or relegated
Dejected with thoughts of being disrespected too often
If I were hot-headed people would be less inclined
My laid back demeanor must make me seem softened
I value an uncaged life so my rage remains flatlined
The line between love and hate becoming thinner
Too much deception from the inception of love and war
Each encounter has me getting angrier and angrier
A consumer ready to return the gold back to the store

Great deeds or good deeds will never be one hundred percent reciprocated, it's just not cosmically designed like that. The human animal will by average like water seek the path of least resistance, that being the dark route. The all about self self, taking all that they can get and not caring about another path. You must remember why you hand that beggar a dollar, not because you expected a dollar in return, but because you could afford it and it made you feelgood. You giving him money made you feel good, hahaha, doesn't seem to read right, but it's true. Now we understand family that are like leeches party with their money and beg and borrow to make their bills. It takes for ever to get this money back because their habits are dark sided and repaying you is secondary. We have family members that was indebt with us so long they thought that we forgot and return to borrow more. Remember to never be taken for granted, but there are some truly in need.Tight
