Bout That Life

As of late, I’m not sure what separates
All the deep sleep dreamers and the people awake
Now I walk around the block, I been tick talkin' it too
Got a feelin' all these funny thoughts are made of paid dues
But the rules got broken, the milk spilled too
So we stepped over the mess and remembered how to move
Brain food fast and the right looking glass
Can right a ship quicker than stickin' to whiplash
This is sick business, slick talk and react
When the field’s wide open, no one’s holdin' us back
We gon' go, roll the out barrel, crack a keg
Pass it round, pardon me, we’re only on our first leg
One way or another, other people have discovered
That this path ain’t ever easy, but it’s worth it to uncover
Peace to these three, my city I CC
When we get to where we’re goin', then that’s right I’ma be, come on
This life, don’t you dare deny it
This life is a wicked one
This life, you can live too fast, you see
Your love can be taken, son
This life, if you live too fast, you see
Your love can be taken, son
My life is a wicked one
Don’t you fall to the bottom, trying to deny this life
It’s been a hell of a life, potholes, and popped tires
And a lot of wasted hours on trying to be admired
By the masses, but I’m past it, I’ll admit I care what happens
But I’m beyond wantin' your attention just to have it
It’s taken all my practice, turning nothing into magic
Now I do this outta habit, through the comic and the tragic
Parts of life, walk beside or say goodbye
I don’t divide, smart people on my side
Forward motion, good enough, baby steps’ll have to do
One day we’ll look back, able to say we made it through
To all my lost loved ones, I got you on my back now
Hope my son or daughter carry on when I’m gone
Check raise the bet, color up and double down
Bet it all on black, take a breath and send the wheel around
An odd combination, work and circumstances
If you didn’t get the picture, said I think I’ll take my chances
This life, don’t you dare deny it
This life is a wicked one
This life, if you live too fast, you see
Your love can be taken, son
This life, if you live too fast, you see
Your love can be taken, son
My life is a wicked one
Don’t you fall to the bottom, trying to deny this life
In 2005 a piece inside of me died
Been spendin' every day since, just tryin' to feel alive
Not success, call it doin' my best
I guess I’m fine, just sometimes I need a reminder
That everyday I wake up, I greet life a little wiser
Keepin' my eyes open, only walkin' my road
I am only a collection of these things I think I know
And I’ve been tryna' to stay golden, got that Ponyboy glow
I boldly go, dark places you’re scared of
For the fear of being weightless, or falling out of love
I’m movin' on, best advice that I got
Been hoppin' over sidewalk cracks, and channelin' my thoughts
I handle my business, get to thinkin' a lot
Ten speed around the lake, make the weight lift off
Destination unknown, I’ll get there when it’s right
Fix at all by the morning, and call it a good night, so good night
