Let me travel, cause travel 'cause my intentionsenter deleted

I will spend mad time in oneenter deleted
spot, plotting my next move
Trying to figure out what is
it, it that X do what X do
Some questions go unanswered,enter deleted
that's what I'm afraid of
Sometimes I can't show, show but I know what I'm made of
They made love, love or should I say they made lust
Bound, there didn't have to be loveenter deleted
there, but they made us
I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy
But being with my dog, dog was my only joyenter added
Like a kid with a new toy, I forgot about the ? ground
Escaped the misery, didn't think about the crime
Lost all track of time, was in another world
Everybody knew Earl, Earl but there was another Earl
Like the side of the dark, riding theenter deleted
park but wouldn't want to
[Incomprehensible]when they jump me, became a good runner
One by one they all went under,enter deleted
so I had the last laugh
They all thought it all was a joke,
joke but I had the last laugh

I feel the ghost from within,enter deleted
coming back to haunt me
Stay love in my peoples, peoples evenenter deleted
though they don't want me
When I was bad, I was forgotten,enter deleted
like I was dead and rotten
Should've been getting love,
love but instead was plotting
Shit wasn't right, right and it was all blamed on me
Didn't know that I was special tillenter deleted
this rap shit came to be
Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach
Than bust niggas with the fo-fo,enter deleted
leave them dead in the streetsenter added
Over beef that was worth less,enter deleted
than the cost of
Of the slugs
That that I bought to kill them 'em
And that's because I thought I ought to kill them 'em
Little did I know, death wasn't right
Didn't always show every breath was a life
It was to be captured in suspended animation
To be felt by all, understood by every nation
What's the sense of hating, when I can show love
What's the sense of faking, when I can show blood

[Mary J. Blige]
Now what's the moral to this story?
