tails of the dog

I've been doing this now for 30 years look at my life from past to present from age 10 havnt shed no tears I'm 40 now so look up to my peers since age 10 never showed no fear so it was hard to hear what them peers from young had no one to make me hear that's why I never new any peers to show me the way had to learn the hard way nearly disappeared from the world nearly ended up in grave so I turn my life around started to work hard for that pay ended up with nothing to show at the end of the day so went back to streets but in a better way come with respect many doors opened started to get that pay but proud I was making it in the right way and not forgetting those who tried to show me the way I ignored them thought life was a game I could always win you can lie and cheat all you want but and the end of the day you end up with nothing coz lifes not a game you play life means life when you rottin away for some dumb shit trying to act brave end up in cage now it's to late like me I was so enraged by the way the paper on the streets make you look ace until someone clocks you acting flash and take the lot away now you broke like me welcome to life again got to try again so instead of chasing paper I picked up a pen and started right rymes instead of working in crack dens using the paper to right down my sins so I can make a menz before I meat my maker got to change the way I live for the greater good better make it good before it's to late can no longer live fake and act brave get down on my knees and pray ask for forgiveness and live right to the end of days and try and teach the youth to act a different way because if I listed from the age of ten I wouldnt of ended up this way
