| Today’s just another one of those days, I
|
| Had to admit it’s not easy being J-Live
|
| My bust this now, the topic to discuss is
|
| It’s even harder sometimes just being justice
|
| J-Live's just known to spin a record, spit a verse
|
| Just as Allah’s just God of the universe
|
| Which means it’s civilized, righteous original man
|
| With knowledge of self and wisdom you can understand
|
| Nothing less, nothing more, nothing holy, nothing pure
|
| Nothing gassed, just steadfast and sure
|
| When something comes up, something goes wrong, something gets done
|
| If there’s not a way my will will make one
|
| My plans are planets grown and made from the beginning
|
| But now my game plan’s going into extra innings
|
| But if it’s a game, that means somebody’s winnin'
|
| And if it ain’t me? |
| Nah, see, it’s gotta be
|
| In this game of life, you score with every breath
|
| The idea’s to retire on your own terms
|
| Never undefeated, just with a winning record
|
| So when it’s there after you’re gone, you’re still respected
|
| But now I gotta fall back, it’s a transition
|
| It’s not a impossible mission, but man listen
|
| I can’t say I’m not struggling
|
| Swingin' 9 planets at the same time feels like juggling
|
| Don’t get me wrong, and don’t get it twisted
|
| I wasn’t drafted into this life, I enlisted
|
| Family, business, music, it sweetens the pot
|
| But what I need to know is…
|
| What do you do when you got
|
| 20 2 minute tasks and 10 minutes to deal with it? |
| (Ah man, forget it)
|
| What do you do when you got
|
| 20 2 minute tasks and 10 minutes to deal with it? |
| (Shouldn'ta bullshitted)
|
| What do you do when you got
|
| 20 2 minute tasks and 10 minutes to deal with it? |
| (Stay committed)
|
| What do you do when you got
|
| 20 2 minute tasks and 10 minutes to deal with it? |
| (Just deal widit…)
|
| Just deal with it (repeated and scratched)
|
| Sunset, sunrise, son time flies
|
| But is it a fly ride or a fly by?
|
| Most of my moves are long term, I must say
|
| I’m not fly by night, I’m here to stay
|
| I want a fly lifestyle with some fly things
|
| But I won’t to the sun with wax wings
|
| You’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar
|
| But you better be prepared for the bee stings
|
| Whether you’re beehive climbin is 9-to-5'in
|
| Or rhymin', it’s all about timin'
|
| Time kills and it don’t stand still
|
| Those times where you just can’t tell? |
| Well, time will
|
| That’s why I got no time to chill
|
| I run late when I save things for later
|
| I deal with it, ill with it in the last minute
|
| It’s like I’m some professional -crastinator!
|
| But I still can’t let time swallow me
|
| Truth is, if I master equality
|
| It’ll all add up in the end
|
| But I can’t pretend these bad decisions don’t follow me
|
| Sunrise, sunset, sun gets your shit done
|
| Deadlines take all the fun from…
|
| Things that shouldn’t even feel like work
|
| Now work your nerves cause time waits for no one!
|
| So it’s time that I own up to it
|
| From time I wasted to time’s up, I run to it
|
| It’s not supposed to be easy bein' me
|
| But I shouldn’t make it harder on myself when I gotta do it!
|
| So I’m hard on myself so I can go from sayin'
|
| 'I'm used to it' to sayin 'I used to do it'
|
| But today as I’m goin' through it
|
| There’s only one thing left to say…
|
| Just deal with it (repeated and scratched) |
