"You Reap What You Sow" lyrics

You talk too much and I guess I've walked too rough
In these scuffed up shoes you'll never wear... It sucks
Being you and being me sometimes is tough
I'm battered and bruised up, but I got myself bandaged up
You on the other hand are damaged and stuck in a rut
You never grew up and managed to never do much
And from this vantage point I have the advantage and guts
Something you lack, but I still wish you luck
You schmuck

I've seen the fall of many men
I watched my own decline, I wasn't ready then
As I ascend now I'll climb steady and
Look down to offer you my heavy hand
You wished the worst for me and my many friends
So it'll be hard to forgive and not forget
You probably wish it still but play your only hand
I guess I'll swallow that hard pill to be the bigger man

You reap (You reap) what you sow
So don't speak about what you don't know
You reap (You reap) what you sow
So don't speak about what you don't know

Forgiveness a virtue new to me
I'm still searching for patience selfishly
Honestly, I do this for my family
And lucky for you, I'm not the man I used to be
You're not worthy of being my enemy
You're not worthy of being much of anything
But you deserve a second chance like anything
Like anyone but maybe not for everything

You reap what you sow
You reap what you sow
You reap (You reap) what you sow
So don't speak about what you don't know
You reap (You reap) what you sow
So don't speak about what you don't know

You talk too much, but I guess you've had enough
Just being you is rough and you look used and mangled up
I won't kick you while you're down, abuse and bang you up
No, I'll pick you up - confused now, well that's just what
This world's come to for now, smile and don't say much
Can't get stuck on old ways - wow, how I've grown up
I've shown up and now it's time to show you what's up
Because we reap what we sow...
