Marissa to Ruben
Well, brother, I'll tell you:
Life for me hasn't been a video game.
It's had breaking in it,
And it doesn't go my way,
And the games freezing,
And places where I can't finish the game,
No games.
But at the time
I haven't been pausing,
And pausing,
And finishing the game,
And sometimes I can't finish the game
Where I haven't been turning off the game.
So, brother, don't turn off that console.
Don't set down your controller.
Because you find it kind of hard.
Don't you give up now
I'm still passing that level,
I'm still finishing the game,
And life for me hasn't been a video game.
