Tough Love
Location
A's on every test without even tryin
Star Athlete on the field, goin deep and flyin
Arm and arm with the home coming queen
Bulletproof and off the chart self-esteem
My ride is sic and fast
The bling I sport is meant to last
Goin through life without a worry
The weeks are short and pass in a flurry
The mirror has became my best friend
I'm posin and grinnin like this'll never end
My life is a fairytale and I'm the prince
Get out of my way or it's gonna get tense
Cruisin the hood with my lean and lid
Scoring some beer from my Uncle Sid
Checkin my phone as I step on the gas
I didn't even see the red sign I'm about to pass
I couldn't stop in time as the car slipped into a skid
Fishtailing and spinning off the grid
Slammin into a tree and seein a bright light
My fairytale world escaping my sight
Laying in the hospital, clingin to life
My family prayin for the surgeon's knife
Wakin up days later from my deepest sleep
Finding out one of my legs I could not keep
My life would be forever changed to a slower pace
Reality would take my fairytales place
Confined to a chair and wheeling around
My bling is gone, but my soul is found
My love for life begins to transform
My God and family help me reform
I now know what's important in life
Loving eachother in a time of strife
I now have a different view from this chair
I know now what it is to care
Thank you to those who stood by my side
As I found humiliy and gave up my pride
