lyrics

"(MIS)FORTUNE"

(Verse 1)
overslept, his alarm clock flashing, not again,
he depends on the beep to wake his sleep and attend
work on time, so he rushes to get ready out the door,
gotta walk cuz he just miss the bus, plus he's poor,
as he passed the corner store he looked to the ground
saw a wad of cash grabbed it up as he looked around,
there was a man with a brand new bike and he said,
a hundred bucks cash and it's yours for the bread,
so he heads down the street now making up time
on the bike, but right infront of him's a kid with a sign
that says stolen bike with a pic of what he riding,
he gives the kid the bike cuz there's honesty inside him,
all this made him late for work, he got fired on the spot,
feeling down, walking home when he got offered a job
as model, making much more paper than he made before,
right time right place? it's hard to really say for sure

(Hook)
only time tells what is good or bad luck,
what looks to be fortune can turn out to be a bust
and vice versa, quite certain that a part of it is destiny,
but presently all we can do is move along steadily

(Verse 2)
she was young 21, looking for a fresh start,
not so witty but was pretty and she had a kind heart,
at the bar met a guy and they hit it off splendid,
nine months they got a kid and a house, it's authentic,
now everything is great til the man gets tempted
by a temptress, so senseless, now his family's unattended,
back to living independent though now she has a son,
more bills than she can pay, working til her feet numb,
two jobs sold the house, far from wealthy,
no life day and night she works to keep her son healthy,
years pass til the day her son graduates from college,
same time she meets a man she loves who has an empty wallet,
but now the son's a doctor, prosperous and proud,
indebted bought his mom and her boyfriend a house,
this is where we at now, the rest is still pending,
cuz where the story ends depends on what's a happy ending
