As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
They say I need to learn, but nobody's here to teach me. If they don't understand, how can they reach me?
Life is too short to not have fun; we are only here for a short time compared to the sun and the moon.
Gather up your pity and turn it into ambition.
Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart.
Hell, when I was growing up, I could make a meal out of a package of Top Ramen and a bottle of Windex.
