As I child
I wish I knew
What I would go through
As an adult
I wish someone had really sat me down
Talked to me
Said listen here son
You still young
You all about having fun
Enjoy it while it last
Cuz being an adult
Is no laughing matter
At some point
Disaster will strike
It will throw you curve balls
Quicker than any pitcher on the mound
They'll come at you faster
Than 100 miles per hour
When you face them
Will you have the balls to stand your ground
Stand at the plate
Swing the bat for the fences
To hit a homerun
Or will you fold
Like a bad poker hand
Will you play your cards right
Even when you have no spades to play
What plan will you have
When facing bad situations
Will you pick up your face
Or fall to disgrace
What if as a child
I was taught to pursue a woman
With a purpose and passion
Instead of girls with good pussy and a big ass
That cause headaches and drama
That the quality of a woman
Is more important than quanties and physicalities
Taught that sex is a precious treasure
To share with a wife
To have a beautiful life with forever
What if as a child
Taught to stack my paper
With real estate and stocks
That pay life long divedends
So I don't have to work myself to death
Instead of spending on material possessions
That have no value in the end
Then in my older years
I can finally rest and catch my breath
Before I can't breathe again
What if as a child
I was taught to live life to the fullest
Chase goals and dreams
Let my fears go
Do whatever I want
Scared and afraid
That fear is just an illusion
Don't let it confuse you
To think you aren't good enough
Then when I grew into a man
I would be the one I wanted to be
Instead of living under the shadow
Of the one I could be
If I could rewind the hands of time
To go back to being a child
These are the lessons
I would seek someone to teach me
So I could understand
What it takes to go
From a child to a man
