Play it safe
Risks bound
Stay out of the water
There’s mischief all around
Everyone must be a spotter
Attempts to weaken self control
Once you leave the manger
An ongoing battle for your soul
Every choice is potential danger
Wickedness chips away at right
When pinned against the wall
Survival says throw down and fight
One false step then many more
You’ll stray from your path
The fall will happen gradually
One morning it’s the aftermath
Suddenly you’ll use foreign words
Saying things that are abhorrent
In your dreams many police arrive
It’s your name on their warrant
Not about to fold and walk away
There’s sin in the corner of your eye
Your plan reads like late night TV
Falsely advertises you’re a tough guy
Leave trouble to the experts
Those who lie through a smile
The guiltless and unapologetic
Let them inhabit that lifestyle
Ticket 2 Ride
