Unformatted, raw version of something I did an hour ago, please give me some feedback:
when life gets hard, you gotta be harder
and when life is short, you gotta go farther
for some life is shorter, there is no time to barter
no matter how smart you are, you gotta be smarter
no matter how tempting it is, do not become a martyr
gotta keep living and making gains till you are recognized as a hero
its hard to add to life, but its easy to stay at zero
at times its all to familiar, at others its strange
its easy to end up on the streets, begging for change
some aren't on the streets, but they still beg for change
beg for a change in life, change the sorrow to satisfaction
some can't handle the wait and give up, but thats just a fraction
maybe it is a larger amount of people than I once thought
but i gotta keep going, and remember the lessons I was taught
but i gotta keep going, and remember why I fought
why i continue to fight, continue through this tunnel till I reach the light
the tunnel is to long, hours turn to days, days turn to night
when days turn to night, life gets a little darker
and when wrongs turn to right, it serves as a marker
a beakon I look back on to show me I that I can make it
reminds me that if victory is close, i can reach out and take it
but the doubt is still there and I can't seem to shake it
the more i think about it, the more my core is shaken
for as easy as life is to give, it can also be taken
i just gotta keep on, for this is history in the makein
the way i live this life, its like i'm painting within a frame
and if i had a choice, people will still remember my name
i'm gonna force them to, i'm gonna etch it in stone
they're still gonna remember, when my skin turns to bone
the way they're gonna remember, they'll see my life in flashes
they'll still be seein it, once my bone turns to ashes
i'm gonna keep speaking this till my lungs are out of air
you'll still hear the words, when all thats left is this chair
