I thought I could hang out with people like that boxer, Evander
I want headlong into the game, decided to forgo shame
then the truth came, and I was never the same.
Was it like a mirror breaking? Was I nervous, panicked, and shaking?
Okay, maybe just a bit, but I won't succumb to it.
I am finally finding out my true worth as a man
I am doing the damn best I can
What can I earn? I prefer, what can I learn.
I am sure my needs will be met,
we live in a wealthy land
People with open hands.
I will make sure that what I need, I work and get
My mind is like a homestead, newly cleared,
I am like a woolen sheep, that has finally been sheared.
I can start again today, for from the East, there is a way.
Lessons on how to live a good life, need not come just from sources of today.
To help each other, we must find
Something in me that you see in you
See, if you see it in me, then you'll help you , too
