Life's Progression

Young Fools become old fools
and assholes can stay arrogant
but some people can change
Mr. Charming can become bitter
and Ms. Right divorced and hyphenated her name to Ms. Right-Now
some people can evolve over time
like the proverbial ugly duckling that turns into a swan
or the ugly girl with a phat ass...well she lost her ass
while other people can appear to change quickly
"Yo...is that your girl by the urinal?!?"
"It's your baby! ...Hey, where are you going!"
while some people progress
like children from tough places that make it to college
or like bad R&B singers who make millions
others seem to digress
like rich kid crackheads
or Shawn Kemp being washed up at the age of thirty
others seem to inspire
"Yeah man, Mr. Wilkes just bought 3 stores and a barbershop"
"Word, Big Del just knocked up 4 stores and a benz...that brotha's nice with his"
whoever you are
and whatever state you maybe in
only time can tell the tale of your life's progressions
and only you can be it's author
