Life was not the piece of cake 

the slice that just melts in your mouth.

It was more like trying to cut a rock 

with a plastic butter knife

My mind was so stuck in this square box 

that I turned into a sponge,

bobbing and weeving through the trouble around me

trying to stay on the right path

but then I crashed and had no way to turn

life to a turn for the better that day.

Headed down south to find a better life

education bought me my wife

now I live in a circle of my own

she calls me and says husband when are you coming home.

See life turn around in the blink of an eye

from a rebel in the streets

to a stand up guy.

Born in a city where bricks were bound to fall off the house

now I live the life with my spouse.
