Against the Odds

Drenched down soaked in wet rain drops that scream stop
every bead tapping against his shoulder as he moves
relentless
Temptress offers a warm place to stay between her legs love to be made, offers it up so quick "isn't it lovely to have kids"
Trapped
carries the weight of the world on shoulders getting older because time, no matter how much you pray will never go back, no chances to back track A must to move forward.
Hard to
when all the odds are stacked against you, and u must own up to crimes you never meant to do
Commit-ment 
is what the world wants from you So smart but you never wanted to finish school there are things you wanted to pursue, but when society wants to shoot targets at your back in a well lit room , you back yourself into corners to protect truth
Lies
are what they tell you when you dream while awake, Microphones and vocal booths are just for play, how many of us made it out the hood this way ?
stacked up backed up against walls 
closing in, claustrophobic cant breath falling asleep so dreams still creep in
against all the odds you can imagine , but how can one stop ambition
Drive
to the nearest river and take a dip in, baptise yourself atheist or christian
renew yourself be different
odds will always be stacked opposite your position, a new game plan
build your defense this is what wins games
don't give, the give-in,
give out all you put it and love what your doing
and against all the odds,
you will be the person they thought you wouldn't
backing out of corners even you thought you couldn't
Just don't be the one stacking your odds
for how can you defeat the one person who knows all your flaws
