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!
