Practice What I Preach

........................................................................

I know right from wrong
And I know what to do
If the shoe does not fit
Just try another shoe

I know what to eat
And what's bad for me
But I cannot resist
All the food that I see

I know all my manners
And I mind my Ps and Qs
Yet sometimes I am bossy
And tell others what to do

I can give great lectures
And preach to my brothers
But I think my advice…
Is only meant for others

I know right from wrong
I know left from right
Yet sometimes I get lost
And start to lose my sight

My conscience is clear
It tells me what to do
Maybe you’d understand
If you were me and not you

I can touch the hard to feel
I can reach the hard to reach
If I could only reach myself
And practice what I preach
