Plenty of time
In the beginning you crave adventure an unknown world.. Nothing but you and street lights chasing money and girls.. Young and wise there's nothing else that I needed to know.. So my mouth stayed open in my ears stay closed.. And I listen to that voice in the back of my mind.. I'm young I got plenty of time.. Living the good life day after day.. Everything seemed perfect I wanted nothing to change.. Another day down was just another day gone.. Parties thru out tonight the night till the crack of dawn.. I wore a blindfold and chose to be blind.. Cuz I'm young I got plenty of time.. But as I remove the blindfold I'm no longer blind.. And with a clear head my mistakes ain't hard to find.. They say to learn from your history is to learn from your mistakes.. But a pride fueled by arrogance led to an unpredicted fate.. Now I'm left with four walls one ceiling and a floor and a piece of mind.. Now I got plenty of time
