Starting Over Is Getting Old When I was young I was told The whole world was ahead of me It was in the palm of my hands All I had to do Was go to school Get good grades Then I could get a good job And I would be set for life What a beautiful lie that was It's not what I was told But what I wasn't Once you turn 18 Then the world Becomes cold Because you grown now No longer a boy You stop getting told You can conquer the world You a man now No one is going to hold your hand Get a job they said But the expectations wasn't set Chris Brown said these hoe's ain't loyal He wasn't lying A remix should be made The lyrics should say These jobs ain't loyal They pay you enough to not quit You work enough to not get fired Then in your annual review Congratulations You get a 50 cent raise Like my name was Curtis Jackson But inflation and taxes Are kicking my ass Taking over half my pay Got to laugh to keep from crying As the years go by Slaving away on this 9 to 5 Another meeting What is it this time Sorry but your position is being eliminated Due to restructuring Now at over 40 Some even older Close to retirement Now got to start over This shit is getting old How many times I got to start a new beginning More importantly How much time do I have left Before I take my last breath I don't want to start over no more It's gotten old As I'm getting older Not younger My advise to the youth Seek knowledge and skills Build while you young So when you get older You can live how you want And don't have to start over When you get old Cuz eventually Starting over gets old

Splitting The Difference Between Double Standards I don't know about you But I'm through with all these double standards What a man is and isn't supposed to be How he supposed to move What he supposed to do To please and satisfy you Happy wife happy life is the saying Problem is you never happy Always moving the goal posts You want to act like a hoe But not get called out for being one Have 3 kids by 3 baby daddies Yet want a man with no kids Expect him to take responsibilty When none of their fathers did Let me get this straight A man got to be 6 feet Make 6 figures Have 6 pack abs For you to be attracted He has to have 666 measurements What you looking for Satan Yet you meet none of the qualifications You expect a man to have Let's split up the differences between these double standards All these so called relationship gurus Posted up on social media got you confused Thinking a man always supposed to do for you With 0 expectations in return Pay all Your bills Like Beyonce and them Thinking you Destiny's Child This shit is wild to me When he refuses You call him broke But you are What a joke Sorry sweetheart You not a celebrity Never will be Yet expect to be treated as such Then you use sex as a bargaining chip Like the homie 2pac said So what I'm getting pussy Baby you getting dick After we fucked I bust my nut You were screaming my name Came on multiple occasions Had you shivering and shaking This sexual arrangement Was a fair exchange Not an extra incentive For me to do shit for you Pay your bills Take care of kids I didn't create Take you on exotic vacations You yourself cant afford I suggest you stay off social media You only listen to what and who you want to hear Thats why you cheered When Kevin Samuels was dead But be the first to watch the new Tyler Perry show and movie Funny how quick You accuse a straight black man of being gay But your so called male best friend is You quick to say yasss girl To a full grown man Your favorite actor dresses like an old ghetto woman
