Guidelines

To myself I keep, that’s the recipe
Greediness is an ingredient to lesser sleep
Rest easy, get my blessings in the threaded sheets
Buy my book of life, the lessons deep
Accept defeat as a cost, and not a lost
A pause is nothing more than the play you’re involved in
Days are short and when you’re the sun, it’s where it revolves in
Let it rise in another’s eyes
The death of one thing is not the total sum demise
My daughter looking at me
She’s the difference in me, being not just looking happy
Prioritize my mortality, nothing more than lies
The metaphor for my methods will be my daughters' eyes
My elder told me I’m the first man she will ever love
Good luck to the person that hopes to be above
I’ve seen enough to help me read a bluff
The beast slayer let me feast on it to eat it up
Now we suppin'
I just mind mine, abide by
My own rules, guidelines
Blueprints, white lines
Drove through, drive-by
I just mind mine, abide by
My own rules, guidelines
Blueprints, white lines
Drove through, drive-by
I was never one for crowds and overt noise
God showed a sense of humor through my work choice
So, the stage became a sacrificial altar
Not a pound of flesh, but the feeling’s nonetheless
So, when I’m done, I jack
Rechargin' what is left in a three-star room
And the iron’s unequipped
Straighting out the here and now
Tears reserved for people who feel that they are beneath you
Sympathy is scarce from the shoulders that just wants to be you
Confessions in the mirror again
I need direction to correction, becomes clearer with pens
If I wrote this on the wall, I’d need medication
But if I write this in the pad, that’s just meditation
A thin line 'tween wallpaper and stationary
Dark torture with flawed mind, don’t think it’s scary
So, I keep to myself, but can I be explained
And in the chamber, what remains, with no shame
I just mind mine, abide by
My own rules, guidelines
Blueprints, white lines
Drove through, drive-by
I just mind mine, abide by
My own rules, guidelines
Blueprints, white lines
Drove through, drive-by
I just mind mine, abide by
My own rules, guidelines
Blueprints, white lines
Drove through, drive-by
I just mind mine, abide by
My own rules, guidelines
Blueprints, white lines
Drove through, drive-by
