Don’t Cry or Complain

I don’t expect you to understand
how this world is not a wonderland
the way pain, strife and injustice lurk
fucked up men made me berserk
the way I miss my boy
everything that robbed my joy
the hurtful things done to me
by everyone, including my family
it’s as if my life started off so great
that my punishment is to deteriorate
I made millions in my twenties
partied it all away, every penny
in my thirties I lived upper middle class
by forty-one I was laid out, flat on my ass
no more high plateaus to look out upon
a deep hole keeping me from
climbing out in order to start again
only foes, no more fake or real friends
not one mother fucker trying to pretend
they give a shit about my inevitable end
no more prayers to save me from myself
just a continual and persistent living hell
little does any friend or foe happen to know
I have been to hell and scared the devil so
it’s never too late for me to be a hero
saving myself and my son from the egos
of all the haters who tried to destroy us
my gloves are off so I can show what I must
to anyone who thought they were more dangerous
go ahead fucktard, scream at me and cuss
because you cannot get the best of us
I’ve fought my entire life so bring it
just don’t cry or complain when you eat shit
