I don’t know what to write

So I will write what I know

Sometimes you have to lose something

If you want to get more

Sometimes my life is pitch black

Sometimes it’s white as the snow

Then I realized I have control

Of the light and it’s glow

There is a light in us all

Some of us choose not to show

There is a place to escape

Some of us choose not to go

I don’t know what to write

So I will write what I know

The rich are not really rich

If they’ve never been poor

All of us want the bread

All of us want the dough

We all want the reward

Without working before

The struggle, the pain

The sun and the rain

Are opposites, but honestly

They’re one in the same

We need both to survive

Life is all about balance

I’m just an artist

Who’s chosen to use the world as his canvas

Every step is a stroke

Every stroke is a lesson

Positively painting portraits

For my people’s progression

But I don’t know what to write

So I will write what I know

Which is a lot

Of nothing…

I never missed a day of school

Until I got to college

I never really cared to know

Until I got the knowledge

This is no math class

But I got some problems

I try to show my work

But that doesn’t solve ‘em

I’m dissolvin’

Soon I’ll diminish to dust

Nothing but ashes

Spread me over the masses

And they’ll learn more from my spirit

Than they do in these classes

Time does nothing but pass us

It’s not a race, it’s a chase

Will you feel accomplished

By the time you’re staring death in the face?

I said I didn’t miss a day

of school

Before I got to college

There’s so many things we don’t know

So we must find the knowledge

Life is a math class

Full of problems

So will you take that F

Or try your best to solve ‘em?
