&quot;sometimes the greatest things in life are the hardest to obtain&quot;<br /> &quot;stop! right where you are! and thank god you are still alive because others are less fortunate&quot;<br /> &quot;haters are really fans that wont admit it&quot;

Some look to the right
Some look to the left
Some live a long life
Others shortened by death
No one really thinks”this could be my last breath”
Hoping to live more when they really live less
But as life progress
Of course I’m go change
When you burdened by stress
Tryna take from your game
So you hope to be proud
To take away from your shame
Why am I screaming so loud?
Just so they know my name!
