LESSONS OF LIFE
In this world with no guidance you begin to feel lost
You make good or bad choices and your sanity could just be the cost
Everybody trying to be like the next I look in the mirror and find the boss
People wanna shop at expensive stores, but to tell the truth I’m cool with just shopping at Ross
Watch who's around you, it's the ones you call family, just pick them out like floss
If you remember that salt looks like sugar then you will remain uncrossed
If no one else will, believe in your dreams and your thoughts...
...keep a clear view and never allow them to be tossed.
Never allow people to get to close you may start to defrost.
Remember keep them at a distance, so your heart stay on frost.
