He who hears words of counsel and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house upon the rock.
The rain came down, yet his house did not fall.
And he who hears words of counsel but does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.
The rain came down and his house fell with a great crash.

They say experience is a teacher well I'm learning my lessons
Life is a stressful journey filled with curses and blessings
Each man walks his path we add up the math
At the grave is where we meet to celebrate victory at last
Along the way we meet challenges that shape and mold
A lot of us will die with epic stories untold
Take notes and follow as I narrate
The tale of my experience which left my heart cut agape
I met a woman who rocked my world
Fine honey I was feeling she became my girl
We started building making plans life was good at the time
So caught up in my own feelings man I lost my mind
Out of nowhere the rug was pulled from under my feet
I nearly choked I lost my breath and my heart skipped a beat
I was smitten, punch drunk on the Kool-Aid of romance
Oblivious to the fact I built my world on the sand

At the edge of a precipice I stand and stare
Holding pictures of you I smell your long brown hair
As the air blows past I dream of the past
In the blink of an eye (poof) it goes so fast
"Would I take it all back?" is the question I ask
I would not, the pain's a lesson not to be forgot
I bled internally and shed a thousand tears you couldn't see
As my heart was still in shock and I was in disbelief
Many moons passed still I hold the pain in silence
As my heart battles my brain I'm filled with violence
Then I snap to my senses and remember I'm alive
On my Gloria Gayner tip homie I will survive
And the pain becomes a memory I'll share with my friends
About a girl I once knew who had my mind in a trance
As I take my new girl's hand and proceed to dance
I hope and pray that we won't build our world in the sand
