Twenty Four

Old Man
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
-Neil Young
Room With A View
As a boy, she told me, 'Wait 'til your father to come home.'
I'm 24 still waiting for my father to come home.
And some parents only touch their children when the whips brought.
That's why bad kids do bad shit.
Just so they can get caught
and get touched.
This growing up shit's rough.
-Brother Ali
