We’ll always run into tines in our lives
When we’re faced to cross two bridges
Y he path to heaven and to hell
Now I’m stuck between the two
It seems every choice I make I’ve gotta think it through
’Cause the pastor preaches one thing
And my mind thinks the next
Now I’m living life with never ending suspense
Not knowing where I’ll end up after
With this life that I lived
I mean haven’t I been in hell?
This life that I live…
Nothing but agony and pain streaming down each one of
My veins
My brain begins to question itself, am I going insane?
Decisions I’ve made, I’ve always went with what was thought to be right
Even if it meant allowing my loved ones to think I was acting out of spite
Or even if it meant I had to cry myself to sleep every night
Could it be the divine testing my-might?
I’m only a mortal trying to make what he can out of this beautiful gift they call life
’Cause you never know when the last tick on the clock will strike
So far now I’ve got my chin up and mind focused on
The finer things in life
But not the amount of zeros in my bank account
That ain’t right
Fast cars, fancy clothes, fucking the baddest bitches on sight
These aren’t the kinds of things you should value
So every night
I,
Re-evaluate the things I keep dear to me
My momma is at the top undoubtedly
’Cause she was always there for me
Family doesn’t always mean blood relation
So I make sure I think of the others that always show their appreciation
I may not show it all the time
But you’re always on my mind
I ain’t faking
And now I’m able to bring home the bacon
And when that day comes when my body can no longer function
Whatever happens next, they say it’s up to the Almighty’s judgement
And when he decides which path will be mine
I’ll stand there firm
Nod my head
Do wherever, whatever time
‘Cause the choices I made while I was well and alive
Were for the benefit of me
Sorry sir but I did what I thought was best for me
At the time
All I was trying to do was live life
