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

These songs need to be copy righted, they are that good.
Don't want anyone stealing any of them!
