Situations

“Situations” 


In the morning when I rise 

On Sundays watching the game with the guys 

At the table when I eat 

In the car bobbing to a beat 

At the job on the paper chase 

In a session with smoke in my face 

In the church listening to the Word 

In my notebook combining nouns and verbs 

In the gym while making baskets 

On the court hitting balls with rackets 

In my bed lying all alone 

On the field trying to reach the end zone 

At the bar buying a drink 

Under the stars just trying to think 

At the board ironing my clothes 

In the club throwing them boes 

At the house just trying to chill 

At Mama’s house enjoying a meal 

At the track kicking up dust 

On the corner catching the bus 

On the couch taking a nap 

In the circle trying to rap 

At the mall buying some shoes 

In the room feeling the blues 

On the porch staring up at the sky 

In the encyclopedia trying to find out why 

In the yard manning the grill 

Under the weather waiting to be healed 

In a boat pulling fish out the water 

Under the hood putting on a new starter 

On the side of the road fixing a flat tire 

On my knees saying prayers getting ready to retire 

In the kitchen cooking it up for my lady 

At Victoria’s Secret buying a gift for my baby 

With my boys bragging on my girl 

On the clock slaving just to give you the world 

But regardless where I’m at and regardless what I do 

The only thing constant is I always think of you
