Drag My Name Through the Mud

By D.H.

I live in a life where I always make bad decisions

Breaking myself up into different sets or divisions

I try & put together a puzzle with pieces missing

Losing more & more pieces

Because of inaccurate precision

I think this might be what’s embedded in my destiny

& I know I can’t let this get the best of me

I think I can I Think I can said the engine that could

But I still can’t figure out why I should

Feelin’ peace in my heart

But pumping hate through my blood

Tired of people that keep dragging my name through the mud
