money's worth


 

routinely He & i converse
He says, what's good
i say, i'm worse or better
depending the day, depending the weather
He said the world's cursed, it'll be this way forever
how you handle the shuffle
determines how you handle your struggle
you'll keep it together, you're clever
the occasional scuffle's, part of life's hustle
you know that I love you  
even though I don't always nod in agreement  
with some of your proceedings I'm seeing  
only I can judge you
on a 1-10 scale, you get a seven
you'll make it up Here, but you gotta do better  
you'll make it out there, but you gotta try harder
for starters, forgive your father
he is what he is, a misguided martyr
that's the burden he harbors
you don't gotta, you're smarter
you gotta open your heart up
relax, be easy, stop keeping your guard up
trust Me, it's easy, believe in you
if you could see what I see
you wouldn't believe it's true
your life, i've seen it through
& for what it's worth, i got my money's worth
...it's unbelievable
