Lyrics

Verse 1:
Life, its what you make of it, right?
Then why is everybody out there trying to take it lightly?
It might be that you can't see what you want.
Looking far beyond a job involving more than blunts really sux though.
But that's just how it is;
Keep hookin up with you girl,
eventually she might have kids.
It all depends though;
on what you wish to gain.
If all you do in life is sit around and just complain, you're to blame for the status of your failure and your shame.
Look out at the world and see that things are all the same.
The more you treat it like a game the more defeat you can endure.
Oh sure you're movin 'cain and doing thangs, but what's it for?
The nice things that are pricey, super size me, gimmie more.
The attitude that you've pursued is reminiscent of a whore.
Quit selling out your people, culture, heritage, and faith.
Claiming illegit's the only way to get up out this place.
You need to face the facts kid, get your head up out your ass, and think about askin, how could I be graspin, the dream everlastin, to one day bask in the sunlight, lead the good life, take care of my wife, and do what is right.. right? Right..

Chorus:
So if it blows your mind,
I'm glad I took the time.
To recline and unwind,
and just look inside.
Find within myself,
what it takes to thrive.
Realize that its time
to just go for mine and..
Get busy ya'll!

Verse 2:
I kicked it to the street,
to get something to eat.
Because I'm codependent on the shoes on my feet.
A busted pair of Nike's and a bike that is broken.
Girlfriend yelling cuz I got no ends.
No means of support,
just dates with the court.
Community service and I'm nervous that she'll leave me: sad and alone.
No heat, no phone.
Gotta get a job because my problems stem from:
Money, motivation, and some sort of a degree.
Lack of these things really hinders me.
So I rap to the beat,
bust haps that are sweet.
Hoping just to keep
solid ground under me.
Cuz who wants to date a jobless broke MC?
..who's just waiting to get signed.. please!
Currency is an urgency,
and its erkin me,
that I gave my girl another f'd up anniversary!
She don't deserve that,
she don't deserve the fact,
I leave her every time a person calls me for a sack.
A house full of dishes
and a room that's painted black.
Bum a couple of dollars every time I wanna snack.
I need to get up, get out, and be something.
Even if its dumpin
trash for other chumps.
I need a little luck,
I need a little chunk,
I need to shake this feeling
cuz this feeling really sux!

Chorus:
So if it blows your mind,
I'm glad I took the time.
To recline and unwind,
and just look inside.
Find within myself,
what it takes to thrive.
Realize that its time
to just go for mine and..
Get busy ya'll!
