lyrics

There was a place in time when everything stood still/ legacy wasted while you patronize your skills/ shoot to kill/ lose your will/ find your fill/ victimized living life/ trying to write something ill/ you can call it confident/ you can call it elitist/ just don't mistake my arrogance for weakness/ so you can get lost/ kick rocks/ or other ways to beat it/ I gained another mouth and ain't no one else trying to feed it/ you can find me up late at night and early on the weekends/ I love it when the low end from the other room starts to seep in/ using sneaker boxes for acoustic treatment/ so boost the frequence/ and use tubes to reduce the peaking/ the growling of my stomach keeps my wife awake at night/ peace to all the people out there trying to make it right/ I love the purpose but I have to say I hate the fight/ so I'm about to take this drum and see if I can break it right/

chorus/

You can make money/ or you can make excuses/ which one will your children remember you using/ losing out to those hard on the movement/ cooking up the blueprint/ for some self improvement/

So you can act like you know me/ but you're better off rolling slowly/ only looking out for homies/ and taking scalps for trophies/ Sophie's choice looking for which one to give up/ like the thought that goes through your head when you hear this is a stick up/ trying to live up to great expectations/ amazing race/ makeshift patriot/ laced with the basics/ trying to make it in this day and age/ where you gotta watch what you say/ cause it's too easy to get caught up in the matrix/ everybody's face lifting/ slap jacking their arrangements/ so I went back to where I started/ backpacking on the pavement/ never struggling/ just reconstructing a better statement/ through better patience/ more purpose and less persuasion/ more verses and less coerced discrimination/ hurting to keep working for something worth more than I'm making/ anguish mixed with motivation/ and the motive to keep going passed the pain and never stray from the foundation/

chorus
