Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

I didn't slide in here on a rainbow, Didn't arrive in a new Cadillac, Not basking in vict'ry's afterglow, But hanging from my rope’s end, no way back. Caught in these straits between death and doom, I sue for peace, they only make war; I want the truth, to see justice bloom, They lie through smiles while fixing the score. Am I yet sick and tired of being sick and tired? Will I own every step I've taken here? Will I get up, chose, do what's required? Own the shame? Submit? Listen? Hear? A nap's what I need, just a little vacation I'll kill it tomorrow, win this crowd's adoration.
