Stand For Something

(Stand up for something or you might end up falling for anything.)

A friend of mine made this quote, "by any means necessary

I told him "if you end up standing for a philosophy like that you might end up going down any road of ferry

I tell you what folks this ain't no joke, wrong stroke, easy poke

Some actions can end you up in the choke

In this world you had better draw a line in the dirt on your behavior

Not doing so might end you up sooner needing your savior

It don't have nothing to do with being good or holy in this world of temptation

It's a thing of being smart to save your behind from ending up in a worst equation

You can call me what you want, personally I draw a line on my action

There are just some things I will not do for my satisfaction

Don't even go there

Because I might like or understand your demand, however, doing the action I do not care

Don't look at me like I think I'm better, like I don't understand the letter

To myself I'm a good babysitter

Very well written.. Words of wisdom... Reminds me of my motto..
Emotion is the enemy of rationality and logic.. when it becomes strong enough to control your actions..
Your life is no longer
your own.
