Brains over Bronze
Brains over bronze
By
Tracy Wadlington
There are plenty of ways that you can go about a situation
But people act on instinct without even thinking.
So many people left in body bags and in handcuffs
Because people try not to turn there back so people don’t think there a punk,
But shouldn’t walking away prove that you’re tough?
It’s not about who’s stronger it’s about who’s smarter,
But people don’t think that way they think that punches is what hit harder.
When you decide to talk to your enemy you might have just saved your life,
Because there’s no telling if he was strapped with a gun or a knife.
Some people might tease you and say you’re not brave,
But ignore them because they might mess with the wrong person,
And end up six feet in a grave.
