All of us experience hardships at some point in life How we react affects whether we overcome it, or better yet, how long we suffer End of December last year couldn't have told me different That this one here wouldn't be the premiere of my redemption (Why's that) Series of unfortunate events Lemony Snicket, we were hit, left us bitter, mentally finished Energy missing, physically sickening, so remedy quicken The book's presenting my fam as penalty stricken (Look) I wish it was fiction, us trippin', serenity's distant Need to cricket afflictions like Kim Wexler whenever Jimmy was slipping (Saul Goodman) So mention 20-19, I call it barely legal Lost both of my grandmamas, and totaled two vehicles, within a week of each other The second literally occurring the way home from replacin' the first at the Infiti Dealership, swear I can't deal with this shhhhhh Hit and Run, GTA, still bent out of shape they got away with it I gave chase a bit, but pumped the brakes and quit 'cause something told me "Live to fight another day E.Quipped, just be okay with it" (Dag) Tongue I'm biting 'cause 3 months earlier lighting hit my house Left 10 thousand in damage and a hole above where my kids sleep at night And now my youngest she frightened by every dark cloud and gust of wind But she might be on to something ('cause this is crazy) It's no masquerade This could be your last today So learn to find the sunshine through overcast and rain Lettin' your guard and mask down, that's a shame Think it's hard to breath now? Just think about the ones that passed away Needless to say, that reachin' the day We'd ring in the new would be reason to celebrate, but we were clueless 'Cause waitin' on that ball to drop, boy did it More like Raiders of the Lost Ark's giant boulder deployed in its' place Didn't think anticipating tables to turn would be like dining rooms in an earthquake But when I learned my grandma was taken for ride and signed over inheritance To a guy she'd met the final years of her life Inspired me and my wife to get our wills drawn up Same year the world said bye to a Black Panther and Mamba (Kobe) My son gets robbed of a couple hundred A/C stops for the fourth time in 24 months, then 2020's Jussie Smollet 'cause we ain't trying believe Corona's for something other than limes and finding our beach It's spine-tingling that in a time all answers are in the form of questions we lost Trebek And the whole world's in Jeopardy It's no masquerade This could be your last today So learn to find the sunshine through overcast and rain Lettin' your guard and mask down? That's a shame Either keep 6 feet between us now or underground when in the grave I never knew what I was wishing They talkin' perfect vision, I just yearned an upgrade from my current position And not the update I heard from my kid Sent home from work early 'cause they were hurting for business Went and spent his day hooping and had a freak accident That got me asking who's proctoring the litmus (test) Test of my responses to the nonsense, doc reconstructing my son's knee Just so he can stand on his own two feet some day in the future By the way, a week later inside of my oven blew up (yeah, that actually happened) Succeeded by my shoulder following suit Rotator cuff, multiple tears, so I had surgery too This sucks, and it's not fair, was the mood, my position So I got stuck there and moving in to November Things being up in the air got a new definition 'Cause that's exactly from where I breathed it into my system (Corona Virus) Showed me what it really meant to have hell to pay I went from FML to needing FMLA 5 day hospital stay, oxygen tanks While antibiotics, steroids and plasma's being shot in my veins (Dang) And all that downtime I had to stop and to think allowed me To wrap my mind around a lot of the things that I had been through And they were just that Situations God had brought me through instead of being left there trapped I got let out the infirmary a Covid-19 survivor the day of my wife and I's 19th anniversary (Can't make this stuff up) I'm so thankful 'cause for so many going home means the bell tolled Rest in peace Shad and Brodie Lee No, it's not a masquerade So know that every last thing I spoke out of my mouth on this track actually happened to me But don't cancel the parade Just go have it in the rain And know, no matter how grave that this too shall pass away No, it's not a masquerade Let's go, time to rattle the cage Expose all the insanity And finally keep it cast away Broke, I packed it just in case But won't need it for the vacay So I'll burn the luggage and further publish the victory
