Told me I Wouldn’t stand here
still standing
fired me
still working
left me
still in company
betrayed me
till holding
been broke
negative balance
and found a way
2 get paid
who doubted me
doubt my worth
doubted the books
doubted the art
doubted the grades
doubted the ride
laughed at me
these my friends
but the spoken word
the gospels
carried me
thru tornadoes
storms
when my eyes closed
my heart stopped beating
awoke me
from my death
said live, live
you gotta live
you gotta purpose
you got love
passion
its room time
me, you, and the world
still standing
fired me
still working
left me
still in company
betrayed me
till holding
been broke
negative balance
and found a way
2 get paid
who doubted me
doubt my worth
doubted the books
doubted the art
doubted the grades
doubted the ride
laughed at me
these my friends
but the spoken word
the gospels
carried me
thru tornadoes
storms
when my eyes closed
my heart stopped beating
awoke me
from my death
said live, live
you gotta live
you gotta purpose
you got love
passion
its room time
me, you, and the world
