I see no sunshine Never notice it and never care about those days I still smile On what you call rainy days Because any day is just another day I can say I do hurt I do feel pain and I do have fears But it never done shit for me in years Recognize the better side of life Hints on better living in most novels Yeah I’m down with the better things My community still drags me back once in awhile Kicking my ass in many ways But I don’t Crum or bow down I fight even though I seem to lose With every punch thrown Every knife drawn Every gun pointed I know I have lost to myself once again To be a changed man is not easy It’s not easy to smile leaving the hospital Without revenge and plots to strike back in time Forgive the world and to forgive myself is a real challenge My little world and my little life Living like it’s all about taking care of business Stress pounding like headaches Taking it stride by stride And odds prove my strides are half successful I feel somewhat exhausted I lie down at night and sleep overcomes me How I love my sleep Nothing in this world feels so deep Then that chance to rest and take it
