You're too wise for your age has always been the talk
But my reply has and will always be the same
I've seen life, in fact, she's my neighbour
And the time spent with her has taught me things
Things I couldn't pick from the pages of a book
That she's a cruel teacher, who won't overlook my mistakes
Neither will she put into consideration, what I've been
through
Be it a long-gone painful experience or a just healing case
So what wisdom is it, if I choose to act foolishly
When one thing is sure, she's not that forgiving
And when I refuse to get wisdom from her past teachings
Again and again, she'll teach me, like a new recruit
I can't even take a chance with her, she'll always win
So, it's only just that I bring myself to a place of
knowledge
That I may get the best out of life without much bleeding
