life is much like snakes and ladders
while you try to climb closer to what matters
you exhaust yourself climbing up the stairs
so you trust those you shouldn’t in times of despair
your looking for a way to get ahead
but naive enough trust the lies your fed
and you place your trust in all the snakes
unable to realize they’re only fakes
and you get caught up in all the lies
unable to see through all the disguise
unable to read through all the deceit
so you continue to let history repeat
the vicious circle of up and down
climb up the stairs and slide back down
you blow on the dice for a lucky roll
crossing your fingers for what your future holds
you move forward, one, two maybe three
hoping the ladders will set you free
you roll again, four, five or six,
but the snakes there to give you your fix,
you slide down her back till you hit the floor
then you climb back up the ladder to settle the score
so dont trust her because shes only fake
while you give and give she will only take
so place your trust in only the ladders
because they will get you all the places that matter
so ignore the snake at all costs
they’re nothing special, no big loss.
and the snakes are like most people in life
just waiting to stab you in the back with a knife
your friends in life are much like the ladders
there to help you through all of your chapters
so chose your friends wisely and hold them close
snakes versus ladders.. its how the story goes.
