I'M SLOW

Yeah they call me hard-headed
but it keep the pain and the bullshit from getting in
Maybe gone too far with it
even the vultures seemed to stopped circling
I don't know everything
but I know every once in a while I can still hear them say
You better not let the dog in here
cause you don't know where he's been
Stick to the plan cause that's what it's for
and I can improvise cause it changes as it goes
hope to be surprised cause it gets predictable
like I've seen this movie twice and the credits never roll so
keep telling me what I already know
but till I get it right results keep telling me no
selling me on settling and taking it slow
man I take steps like centipedes towards reaching my goal
Season is new reason is old
they kill me with clues blood running cold
Luck favors the prepared as well as the bold
I Listen but what I'm missing isn't given its sold
Keep telling me what I already know
Keep telling me what I already know
Sometimes I feel life thinks I'm slow
Keeps telling me what I already know
You need to shut up or go, I won't listen or leave
No way in heaven or hell, You'll get your way again
and no matter how low, my high will go
there's nothing you can say to make me do it again
2x
Perception is a Muthafucka, So I talk small
They turn you into old new, For telling them all
If you don't tell them enough, They thinking u stalled
Cause it's cool to lose your mind, But never your balls
We all crawl then walk but don't always evolve
Who the fuck thought to thaw out these neanderthals
It's bad enough life a bitch, Blink & get mauled
when you think you're in control, is when you losing it all
Now, let it sink in till it dissolves
Why we work hard to live but die to survive
Try, to hurt with the truth and protect with a lie
I, Guilty of both fate look in my eye &
Keep telling me what I already know
Keep telling me what I already know
Sometimes I feel life thinks I'm slow
Keeps telling me what I already know

LABOR PAINS

Take this job and shove it
Take this take this take this
Take this job and shove it
Take this take this
If my wish was a command every word a law
If I could give a taketh away every promise a bond
If I could level a mountain without using a bomb
Would I do more good or would I do harm?
I wish I was rich
I wish I was tall
I wish they weren't sick
I wish disease was gone
But now its overcrowded and the lines are getting long
So if I just did for fam
Would I be wrong?
I do a bad job at being a god
I do a bad job at being a god
Say the word and it'll be done
Think the thought and it gon come
I do a bad job at being a god
I do a bad job at being a god
If my day was bad and my mood was off
I do a bad job at being a god
Gimme gimme gimme
All day long
People on their knees
Same ole song
They let it get critical praying for a miracle
Its a surprise I barely listen at all
2X
Take this job and shove it
Take this take this take this
Take this job and shove it
Take this take this
If I could ressurect the dead give birth to a star
Put thoughts in head even promise tomorrow
Forgive all your sin and be an excuse for martyrs
Would you take my name in vain in the final hour?
I wish he wasn't dead
I wish she was mine
I wish I stayed in school
I wish I could turn back time
One turn things are different and that would be fine
But then I wouldn't be here and that wouldn't be right.
I do a bad job at being a god
I do a bad job at being a god
Say the word and it'll be done
Think the thought and it gon come
I do a bad job at being a god
I do a bad job at being a god
If my day was bad and my mood was off
I do a bad job at being a god
Gimme gimme gimme
All day long
People on their knees
Same ole song
They let it get critical praying for a miracle
Its a surprise I barely listen at all

You want me in the ground you gotta drag me in
Beat me with a shovel till I lose feelings
Gotta tear my soul free from this world of sin
Cause there's no salvation for this hell we in
My time, my life, my grind
When invested equals, my dime, my rhyme, my shine
Unexpected how I rose up, defied them, defined resurrected
He's still breathing?
They skeptic, I'm a cynic, that's fine
They find my melody a crime but remedy I'm
God's plan for a machine with a devils design
So deadly the line I
Readily walk on
Razor's edge I stay steadily high
Above petty desires
That the envious hide
Skin you alive, wear you hide, see how you feel inside
It's so hard to find thoughts the survive
This mental genocide
More undead than alive in this social Formaldehyde
You can't bury me yet, I'm not dead
This world is cutthroat, but I ain't losing my head
I've seen so many lifetimes, but can't find an end
All I did was just blink, now I'm at it again!
Please don't bury me yet, I'm not dead
This world is cutthroat, but I ain't losing my head
I've seen so many lifetimes, but can't find an end
All I did was just blink, now I'm at it again!
4X
Dug my way outta my grave holding my breath
I dug my way outta my grave
The hate that hate made, made it harder to break me
The part my fate plays, I watch where it takes me
Peirce hearts, make them wanna take off the safety
But it's hard to erase me, work to replace me
Hurts to embrace me, that's what the truth does
I let them fall overboard when push comes to shove
Swim or drown, legends are found and made that way
Something figured out liquored out in my training days
So many lifetimes ago, I forgot my names
I lost track of my sins, so I'll take the blame
In my bones lies the proof, who gonna claim the remains
Just the frame of an image that'll drive you insane.
You can't bury me yet, I'm not dead
This world is cutthroat, but I ain't losing my head
I've seen so many lifetimes, but can't find an end
All I did was just blink, now I'm at it again!
Please don't bury me yet, I'm not dead
This world is cutthroat, but I ain't losing my head
I've seen so many lifetimes, but can't find an end
All I did was just blink, now I'm at it again!

Always up to something
Is better than down to nothing
So even when I'm low
I'm on my way up
And if I trip on something
I hit the ground running
So even if I fall
I ain't giving up
You can keep on fronting
And backing up nothing
But when its going down
You ain't coming up
Always up to something
Is better than down to nothing
So even when I'm low
I'm on my way up
Poppa say
Son you gotta look for a better way
I did the best I could
that was yesterday
Today my job is done
You can lead the way
but don't go astray
And mama say
Take care of those you love
We ain't here to stay
Put your best foot forward
Don't back away
Look'em square in the eye when u make your play
What you gonna say
Tell'em
Damn right I got something to prove,
Keep on pushing till I get it through
Keep on doing all that I can do
Keep on fighting even if I gotta fight you
My brothers say
Don't forget where you came from
Remember your name
Don't waste your time on bullshit
Just walk away
But never let no one stand in your way
That's every day
I'm always up to something
Is better than down to nothing
So even when I'm low
I'm on my way up
And if I trip on something
I hit the ground running
So even if I fall
I ain't giving up
So you can keep on fronting
And backing up nothing
But when it's going down
You ain't coming up
Always up to something
Is better than down to nothing
So even when I'm low
I'm on my way up
Some people say
You need to grow up and change your ways
Things will always stay the same
Just fall in place
It'll be much easier to play the game
To them I say
Damn right I got something to prove,
Keep on pushing till I get it through
Keep on doing all that I can do
Keep on fighting even if I gotta fight you
Built to keep going, cause the going get rough
I started at the bottom so I'm only going up
I'm built to keep going, cause the going get rough
I started at the bottom so I'm only going up
Built to keep going, cause the going get rough
I started at the bottom so I'm only going up
I'm built to keep going, cause the going get rough
I started at the bottom so I'm only going up
I'm always up to something
Is better than down to nothing
So even when I'm low
I'm on my way up
And if I trip on something
I hit the ground running
So even if I fall
I ain't giving up
So you can keep on fronting
And backing up nothing
But when it's going down
You ain't coming up
Always up to something
Is better than down to nothing
So even when I'm low
I'm on my way up
