REDEMPTION (STANDING TALL) 12/29/2011
_ I’m back and I’m serious As a heart attack, delirious Writin rhymes and keepin time While staying mysterious But don’t you doubt me Cuz then I’d have to pound thee And that’s a place you don’t wanna be One year of my life and then some I ain’t lyin’ At times thinkin’ I’d be better off dyin’ But ain’t no use spendin’ your time cryin’ Do you hear me? I know I’m down and I’ve been out In places so low it didn’t matter if I’d shout Nobody could here me, and if they did there would be No reason to listen or offer help, you see Not after all I’d done, shit I wouldn’t help me But the past’s the past, let bygones be bygones I ain’t dead I got two feet to stand on So if you’ll excuse me, I think I will move on Not quittin, there’s more to be written, a girl to be smitten Shit, why am I sittin’, it’s time to say bye y’all Life took its shot and I’m still standin’ tall - Walter Bird Jr./Dec. 29, 2011/ Commentsmike bird 01/04/2012 09:34
These songs need to be copy righted, they are that good.
