I am Peter Johnson
send sumsing fagbite!
life gives you a big bag of shit
and problems that overwhelm
they'res always room for doubt
u'll think u cant do itsolution
to let yourself know you canpeople can get arrested
for drunk driving
for cocaine addiction
for fighting
for just not caring
and they write your checks
they get bonuses for christmas
they get the breaksthen theres people like me
who are overworked
underpayed
who refuse to cry when there seems to be no way out
who take it all and eat it
live with there problems
and still help the little{r} guy
and these people stay where they are
no respect
living on fifteen minute breaks
no freedom
after a while u feel cold
no pain
u feel angry
no relief
but we dont have cousins in high places
friends who help us with are worki messed up bad
i let it go too early
i thought about what i wanted before what i needed
i knew the repracautions
i was just lost in the moment
i hoped i wouldn't make it this far
see this much
but i cant stop now
i have too many responsabilities
im not done yet
you'll never be done until you except your defeatmy family was strong
we were close
we knew each otherwe fell apart
fear
greed
it took over
it'll make you want to give up
being the only person u can understand
but you still cant trust youselfyou dont have to be the whole who broke it
to be the one who fixed iti am a jester
i can assist you to forget
to feel better
i might even be able to help you
but you'll never know until you askno one believes me when i say i know
when i say i can do itmy word is weak
no one believes me anymore
and i let it happened
i get sidetracked
when i've made plans
and on the way
i feel the need to help
"i have time"
is what i'd say
good deed done
but its too late
while gaining self respect for helping the little guy
i lose respect from my peers
my family
and everyone else i knowi don't like whats happening to my home
my city
but not too many others want to but forth the effort to keep it clean
to keep it right
its so easy to let it go
to be bad
but when u go out of your way
and you do what u KNOW is right
is when you appreciate yourself
when you can sleep at nightnot when you've made a wad of cash flooding the streets with drugs
or stealing
to get a new car
a new tv
or your drug of choicei let this happen to me
i saw it coming
but i didn't care
now that i do i hope you come to
and i hope you care
not about me
about yourself
