EVERYTHING’S AHEAD OF US NOW

I’m so glad I woke up this morning

With all my limbs and all my doubts

I am taking breathers but the year is closing in

and I ain’t done a goddamn thing with it yet

but I got time

and I got these hands of mine

Shower drink strong coffee till my hands shake

stretch out naked on the hardwood floor

thinking could it be that practicing not caring works

could it be that life pays off

could it be my ex was wrong?

 cause I’m on time

and I got this foul mouth of mine

And I’m done waiting

and I’m done fucking around

I’m through feeling sorry for this town

everything’s ahead of us now

Who is this I’m writing?

What’s the world look like from over there?

Where I come from we begin by shouting

throwing rocks and eggs and killing bugs and punching air

we had all the time

we had the bright Yonkers sunshine

Now my days are full of shade

I’m so broke my head hurts

I am all removed from this once rent gets paid

but I don’t think I’ll make it

cause everything is overheard

but I got time

and I got my hands clasped over this foul mouth of mine

and I’m done waiting

I’m done fucking around

I’m through feeling sorry for this town

everything’s ahead of us now

suffering is worth it if it’s earned

you laugh and say and I don’t blame you

“how postmodern”

it makes no more sense to me than anything else

cause I’ve seen better and I’ve seen worse and

I’ll see better and I will see worse

in due time, with a lil luck from this headamine

I’m done waiting, I’m done asking around

I’m through not knowing what you sound

everything’s ahead of us now
