He Shut The Door Wide Open

There’s a man out there who shouldn’t be this lost He should know his way around the block a bit at this point you’d think But maybe he didn’t think it was really happening and when I say it I mean life This nigga knew not when to turn left or right or say hello or goodbye He was the kindest person you’d meet but ten toes down was a phrase only mentioned by those sure of their path, right or wrong He was scared of making the wrong choice so he thought no choice was better entirely Inaction and the lack thereof bred complacency and a stay and see mindset This nigga could make something rattle not shake This nigga could think on his knees but not on his feet This nigga could breath love into others lives but not his own Seek guidance and light my child you’ll find a way Even if you think I’m not worthy I know you’ll say It’s not my time nor right nor place I’m sorry you don’t think so child He couldn’t hear me as he ran and shut the door wide open
