Miracles

VERSE 1
Since a young man I was taught to do the right things
Do good to others and you get the same thing
Shit I done gave my last dime out
Being generous while y'all was taking time out
Compromised even when I know that I'm right
Cause I'm trying to avoid making the same mistake twice
When I get dough I try to put some away
Bills keep coming - messing up my day
Graduated school and still confused
I love to kick my feet up and smile on the cruise
I gotta be strong - I'mma live long
Bad luck won't show if I move on
I feel the pain from taking bad steps
Man I gotta live with a lot of regrets
Take a chance sometime and open the blinds
Yeah I know one day I'mma get mine

VERSE 2
Life's short - spend your day like it's your last
Look back y'all we're growing up fast
Could you believe this world's crazy
Insane and evil/ and got the nerve to be trying to clone people
I don't feel too bad I was brought up poor
Helped me realize the value of a dollar in the store
Remember seventy five cents got me a snicker
Fritos, laffy taffy, I still was happy
My deal ain't changed my styles the same
I still crack jokes in hard times I ain't changed
And I try not to shake hands with pride
The man that's trying to help you might be sent from god
Try to make everybody pleased see where you end up
Somewhere with a lawyer with your money spent up
Physical abuse, man it goes away
But the mental side seems to love the rainy days

VERSE 3
I know my style is amazing
That's why it's standing out
Playing lottery waiting on income tax
Ain't no forks in the road I studied the map
So tell me if you believe in miracles
Explain paraplegics walking after years yo
Head on collisions - left nobody dead
Some got perfect speech after surgery to the head/
We had tornados ripping through homes/
And little girls got aids trying to be grown/
Soldiers sent to war not knowing what they're fighting for
Making it back home and they getting ignored
Everybody seem like they your friend at first
But nobody show up when they put you in the dirt
My man lost his moms over drugs
And now he sees a way out is being a thug
