My fellow sisters and brothers
we have to learn to
think for others
Get out on road and
drive for yourself
You won't survive
and this is no jive
We have to learn to drive for
the other fools
those that act like they need
to go back to driving schools
Other people will bash
not only this they will trash
We think for them when we
say not here
my fine feathered friend
Here is where the bullchit end
I will not let your negative
affect my positive
I'm rolling on down this road
I will try to avoid hitting you
I'll even try to go around
but after all my maneuvering
you're still in my way
I've done my best I might have to make
a highway up your chest
Maybe God will take care
of the rest
If he don't
maybe he won't
Lord forgive me for
my none perfection
but I had no choice but
to travel my own direction
