Know Life
By MB
Life is a struggle
The struggle is life
You should live like you never live twice
Enjoying the pleasures; the pain it’s the game
It makes you who you are; no two humans are the same
Learning your weakness, modifying your flaws
Sooner or later, you could be someone else’s boss
No, I ain’t here to preach, I’m just laying some laws
Know who you are and you’ll stand up much more tall
