The Jaws Of Life

So you thought you where the stuff, rough, tuff couldn't get enough. Wheeling, dealing, even stealing trying to shake that low feeling. Wanting to be rich but there's a hitch, it's a straight bitch, you run into a glitch, so you switch turn counterfeit, writing bad checks wearing a Bolex, even try to sell sex, loose all respect. Now with your new found friends smoking lots of dope drinking expensive gin. Hanging, slanging even start banging, falling deeper into sin, knowing you could either get dead or end up in the pen, but you don't give in. 

 

Still hanging tuff, life calls your bluff, wind up in handcuffs, turn into a creampuff. Don't know you came through, go back to being the same old you, find yourself in another bind cause you're not paying attention to the warning signs, keep jiving and conniving, walking a very thin line. Continue to kick it on up til you run out of luck, spent your last buck, now stuck like Chuck. You want to turn the page but you've become a slave, all that mess is no longer fun, say I'm going to change, easier said than done.

 

Now you're geeking, tweeking don't know you're seeking. Skinning, grinning always loosing never winning. At your self, you take a good look, you can see your goose is about cooked cause you've been hooked. You get so tired of feeling depraved but you can't shake that crave, ask where will it end, In The Grave...SLAVE. Then you hear the voice of change, which you ignore, find yourself back on the floor, can't take it any more.

 

So you look to the sky and ask, Lord, why me, because you are your best friend and your worst enemy. This is why you have a Saviour to set you free. Finally you start to wakeup, listen at last, cause you have found, a hard head will make a soft ass. In order to live right you must fight the good fight, and you won't be devoured by, The Jaws Of Life. So the next time you hear that voice in your head but you do what you want instead, then find yourself falling and falling. Stop Stonewalling, It's GOD Calling.
