did ya' ever
make a mistake
that you thought
you'd never
make

i mean The Big One
a Mis-Take
that can't be undone
it ain't no fun
it never gets undone
1 that lasts forever
it never
goes away
what can i say
That Mis-Take
that won't go away

one that makes
you want to run
or at least do a Re-Takes
that kind of mistakes
that makes your heart aches

but there's no way to fakes
there are no Re-Takes
when you makes
That Mistakes

i mean The Big One
The One
that can't be undone
son of a gun
there's no place to run
i can tell you
that ain't no fun

but what do you
do?
you can't erase it
you just have to Face It
eyeball to I ball
let the chips fall
as they may
there ain't nuthin' else to say
ain't no word play
That Mis-Take will stay
it don't go away

so i just say
"ok"
"Self
you made a mistake
Top Shelf
you always be
the You that you be
just Me
Got Da*n
i be who I Be
so i'll take the slam"

so take it
Face It
don't run
this be
The Big One
for me to see
that's just how IT Be
that's just how
Life be
can you See?

but somehow
we grow
we know
sometime's we be slow
to learn
to earn
sometime's it burn
to make a mistake
for Christ's sake
we live & we learn
thru our mis-takes
we do what it takes

and we go on
livin' our Life's song
with what's gone wrong
livin' with our Mis-Takes
doin' whatever it takes
facin' our Mistakes
eyeball to I ball
that's all
we can do
that be true

Eyeball 2 I Ball
doin' the best we can do

This is as usual one of ur best as well, as you keep doing all you can do to do your best...today being my birthday (Aug 3rd), I will be heading to the shore to enjoy the waves from the storm several hundred miles down the coast...god must have known, I like big waves, so he sent them to me on my birthday but only on loan...

Take care, have a good day as it is a holiday, or should be, my burfday, the reason for the day off...Peace, bro', Ed & Rufuz
