Couldn't Sleep.



My mind at night likes to voyage to a far off places
Close your eyes and you too can touch gods graces
Life on the daily moves on at 10,000 paces
And even one step behind will have you at the end of the races
You compete, I compete, We compete
From an educational stand point to the sneakers on our feet
Our generation is so ready for the next
Rarely do we talk, Usually do the text
Rarely do the loving, Usually do the sex
One week you're the best thing, Next week you're the ex
But own yours we can't all be the victim
Just be wise when you pick him
You don't want to be in the store with an upside down smile
Stomach clutching as you're looking down the pregnancy test aisle
The recession got you stressing about how you're going to raise a child
Life is crazy, but life as a single parent is wild
My word is the orchestra, welcome to the symphony
Don't let a mistakes turn into an epiphany
Make your own path, follow your own destiny
You can't be what another man was blessed to be
God gave each one of us our own special recipe
I can tell it all to you but it's best you see...
-Justin "J*star" Jackson
