in my time... i've seen a lot of ways   in my time...i've seen that kindness pays   when you're down, hold on to your friends   be there until the end, hold on to family   don't turn your back on me      my mind has traveled, my body stayed put   I've seen the worst of man   and I've seen the effects of good   an outstretched hand   will bring much more risk   than a bottle in your head and a close tight fist   stop whining/complaining   about trouble of life   negative ways bring you negative times   envy rules your thoughts   jealousy in your mind   hatred in your eyes - my time!      in my time I've been alot of ways   I've seen alot of things   I've seen a lot of hate   and I've seen misery      my mind has traveled, my body stayed put   I've seen the worst of man   and I've seen the effects of good   an outstretched hand   will bring much more risk   than a bottle in your head and a close tight fist   stop whining/complaining   about trouble of life   negative ways bring you negative times   envy rules your thoughts   jealousy in your mind   hatred in your eyes - my time!
