“First Base”

Sometimes I got to get out of my own way

No such thing as a slow day, resist any foray

Life’s successes aren’t instant, it insists on foreplay

Buyer beware, a warranty is optional

Head in the clouds, I take the route with the most obstacles

The riches are worth the risk, much sweeter when reached

Keep a tight knit circle that’ll never be breached

The path is unclear, but I steer with confidence

Fires ignited all around, but I’m guided by providence

Insecurities thrown out the window

Learned to adapt to make the complicated simple

I don’t believe in luck, no such thing as being stuck

Shouldn’t hold on to what once was clutched

No better deterrent than your current situation

Determined to avoid making the same impatient mistakes

Only you should dictate the direction you take

Don’t rely on fate, but I have faith

Don’t take it for granted if you never had it in the first-place

How are you going to bring it home, if you can’t even get to first-base?
