I’m no baller, not dapper,
There are no rhymes I’m spitting,

Nothing’s the same, I live so precariously,
The things beyond my control have grown exponentially,
Getting the message I have no value to society,

Today is the day to kiss cares and worries away,
Today is the next day in the story of the rest of our lives,
We march triumphantly off to the unknown,
