Road To Riches
From the deepest abyss, I will arise as a holy unstoppable force
Ascend to the promsie lands afar, along the untravelled course
The paths will be rough, and they will test my will and character
If I stand fast, I know nothing can change who I am, Who I be
From every direction i will be tempted by temptations constantly
Thus daily, I will kneel before an alter and kneel and pray humbily
So the devils of the industry, can witness that God's protecting me
And recognise his overwhelming power is following my epic rise
Blessing me, ensuring that these demons do not instigate my demise
Because when your back turns, friends will gaze on you with envious eyes
Jealousy is a raw emotion, and it can lead to actions most unwise
However, I know that I can forever rely on my blood family
I know that they will rally,when war erupts around me sparadically
I swear, on the moon, the stars and the gentle yet powerful oceans
If success shakes hands with me, I'll reward those who have shown devotion
Those who have stood with me side by side, through times of comotion
Reacted to a reaction of force against me, like newtons third law of motion
Been a true friend, not simply using me as a platform for their promotion
I write the first eighteen lines of this poem making crucial assumptions
That I will complete my jouney, and not get lost at a junction
That I will attain my goals and not fail but persist in mental consumption
That my rhymes stay fluid yet tight and my brain does not malfunction
So in this verse, I do pledge to hope and never give up
To never rest or dwindle till the finest french champagnes fill my cup
And I can walk down stairs into a basement filled with ancient treasures
To attain all this, I vow never to resort to drastic measures
Live a life filled with expensive pleasures, a life of simple leisures
The road will have snakes, and money hungry, back-stabbing bitches
So I must be weary of the evils residing and living on my road to riches
