i know it it’s not offensive to most, but when i am told i can’t it sits in my craw

a better way to accept in this head, is ”i prefer not to”

i can rob a bank, i can steal a car, i can be unfaithful, i can take a drink and i can take a drug………………………………………but i prefer not to

you have to leave the gate open if you want the mule to stay in the pen, because you take away my options and that’s when the kicking begins

don’t fence me in or paint me in a corner, let me make the choice and i’ll feel better about it and it will give me confidence to face the next hurdle

can’t doesn’t work for this ex street kid
