The only bucket I plan to kick is the one blocking my path to joy.

The subject matter continues to be chatter served on a cold dish platter enough to brain scatter People keep dying all around Thank God I'm still above ground where some joy can be found Michael Jackson :-( Steve McNair - Air McNair :-( Bernie Mac :-( Family members :-( My mother came real close :-( Like flies people drop seems like it will never stop My own mortality becomes a formality I'm too busy living to worry about dying but for everyone one I do a little praying and crying Then I hit the door try to even the score knowing all the time the score won't even much more I don't wallow in sorrow I simply live like there's no tomorrow I live for me and those who passed away get some rest then look forward for the sunrise of another day I face the rising sun after I work figure my fun then do it until I'm done Versing is one opg
