Uncertainty

I am afraid for the future..er not in the sense that I should wreak havoc on it, but I am afraid of what will happen. I am afraid of where this road is taking me.

I don't want to be poor: I don't want to have to worry about feeding my kids or having enough money to be able to get around (and go to work).

I don't want to be a disappointment: I never want to see the look on my parents' faces when I ask for a couple of bucks to fill up my car.

I don't want to be looked down upon because I threw away my life for whatever reason.

I don't want to be one of those once-educated, but allowed my mind to decay.

I don't want to be a failure.

And it seems as though I'm not the only one to have these thoughts...

I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh-t
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatevers left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
