As the decade approaches a close
I dwell on the type of clothes I wore on my soul
on a host of different shows
at times I was bold but mostly unknown
open type of person like highway tolls
but never open like bi-way doors
in the dark of night try to grow some more in the light
of the year one-oh like a batch of dro
hope the new decade don't blow
most of the time im feelin so-so
not frequent to visit Soho
cuz I hear there's lots of hobos
then bounce like a yo-yo
mess with me that's a no-no
best watch your back if you're a foe that's on my bro yo
but seriously though

I'm not really trying to say anything with this rap
but its not like I'm saying its crap
everything I say is a craft and all I wanna convey is that
the past 10 years have gone too fast like a nap
there were some fun times
but many years felt like doing time
in other words the last word at the end of the 2nd line
in this verse and yea I know its not a curse
but it still hurts when you think about what you bring with you in the dirt
no time to dwell on that
cuz you can't bust a cap to the brain like Kurt
Cobain even though you feel the pain
you gotta look at the situation and really think again
about what you're blessed with, dressed with
the virtues you're possessed with
not just all the things you messed with
it'll be ok if you confessed it, with the Almighty
its the Message, read it and understand it
then go ahead with your plan kid
cuz nobody will figure this life out for you
you gotta read the cues and pay your dues
follow the rules and be that dude
no time to waste in being rude just brush it off
cuz the Lord wants to dwell in a heart that's soft
and clean ya know what I mean? So get your green
in the year 2010 but don't forget your friends
and if you wanna spread this message go ahead
with the copy and paste and hit send
and as for this rhyme its the end. Happy 2010!
