Looking at my past decisions

Things are changing in an instant

Gotta get a grip on the edge, I'm slipping

But I'm mentioning this for the benefit

For the time I've lost, I'm missing out on my children's life

Yet I'm in it

The umpire called a strike, but I hit it

Never really know about the pain that you put them through

But I'm a man, so I sit and listen

But I got this prayer to the Lord, don't stop me

Blaming other people for my problem

Dealing with the gossip, had no other option

I'm stuck inside a little bitty room that I'm boxing

I got the weight of the world on my shoulders now

I need to be a man and better not drop it

Had eight dollars and now I'm bound to snap

Like, "God damn, motherfucker, stop bitching"

Thinking that it hurts, don't see the worth

You can bet your ass someone else has got it worse

Mama got three kids and the daddy gone

Yeah, the man's still digging in a purse

A kid without a home and he living in the dirt

A girl without a dime, so she's lifting up her skirt

Every other person living on the earth

Been dealing with problems since their birth

So we whine and complain about stuff that's mundane

We bitch through monday, all the way to sunday

Maybe one day we can see our life is unclaimed

Someday we can see our eyes are untrained

To the beauty aside

And I know that it's wrong but between you and I

We got a lot of life left, and I'm using it now

I find it sad, but I'm glad 'cause I know that it's wrong

I know that it's wrong but I'm trying just to make my way

Up a road that is dark and I can't escape

Commit the same old sins and the same old

I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong

But maybe I'm lost in the song, it's just me and my day

I saw my children today, put a smile on my face

I wonder if today's the end, if I'll see my fate

I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong

But it feels like I'm lost sitting where the roads cross

Tell the difference if I live right or wrong

Lord, please help me, I can't go on

I've been working all day and I can't go on

A man without truth is a man without a home

And it feels like the house where I'm living is too small

I showed up late for work, I didn't set my alarm

And I pray that I still got a job

Yelling, "Mr. Bossman, can you let me off, man?"

I can feel the heat from the moment when you walk in

I don't do this often, maybe I'm exhausted

I was getting fitted for a suit and a coffin

But the tag didn't fit, and the shoes were too tight

So I'm here now trying to make peace

'Cause in this life, we only go from A to B

But this time, I'm a one, two, three

I'm gonna take every penny that I save and I'll spend that shit

I don't care if I pay my rent

And I'll say everything I wanted that I had held in

And forget my father for the day he left

I'm gonna fall in love and I'm gonna play my part

Just to let a girl break my heart

You can say I'm wrong, and there's no way I'll stop

But I'm looking at the moon like it ain't that far

I'm sick of living my life like I'm scared and I don't know why

No matter how hard that I try

I get a feeling that I'm right, and I might have to cross that line

But I really don't care this time

'Cause I wake up today, I am asking you, Lord

To give me discipline and patience

Just show me the road 'cause I'm ready to go

I'm gonna ride it wherever it takes me

I know that it's wrong, but I'm trying just to make my way

Down a road that is dark and I can't escape

Commit the same old sins and the same old

I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong

But maybe I'm lost in the song, it's just me and my day

I saw my children today, put a smile on my face

I wonder if today's the end, if I'll see my fate

I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong

I know that it's wrong, but I'm trying just to make my way

Down a road that is dark and I can't escape

Commit the same old sins and the same old

I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong

But maybe I'm lost in the song, it's just me and my day

I saw my children today, put a smile on my face

I wonder if today's the end, if I'll see my fate

I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong
