Shut Up Already - DAMN

Many moan and groan

Complaining about their problems

As if being stuck in the pain

Is some how going to solve them

And then there are those

That handle the stress and strife

Then think that they are better

Not realizing that's just life

Now don't get me wrong

I do have sympathy

Along with understanding

On the workings of life - see

If you don't have any problems

Then you are not living

Everyday we're faced with choices

In this life that we were given

If you ain't paying dues

If you not experiencing pain

Then there's something wrong with you

Or you are dead - its just that plain

Besides if you really stop to think

About the whole situation

You'll have to conclude

You caused most of your frustration

Based on the decisions you made

The way you act and react

Is the way you will be played

And you must get tested

For character and strength

Being human we fall short

Thus the need to repent

That's how it is

Look at me as a friend

If you thinking differently

Maybe you should think again

Life is

Ten percent of what happens to you

And ninety percent

Of how you react to it

So get off the pity pot

And stop rolling the bullshit

Stop blaming other people

Always keep yourself in check

You have got to give to receive

And you must EARN respect

Plus you must understand

Nothng in life is permanent

Not even your own ass

So learn to enjoy each moment

Learn about real love

ANd what they mean when they say

Life is for the living

So seize the day

I'll tell you a little secret

Life is just time

Each given a certain amount

Now if you still with this rhyme

Props and respect to you

May you continue to survive

In spite of all the pain and problems

And thank GOD for being alive
