lyrics
[Hook] Gotta read, learn, listen, teach (x4) [Verse 1] Everybody in the world is grasping at a life That's on the other side of an imaginary line I've already tried. So many times. Tell me why, oh why would I lie? And no matter how good we have it We're all tragically unsatisfied. Shed the dead weight. Bad habits. Response to checkmate. "Yeah, as if." Then I make my move. Do whatever I gotta do to get thru to these fools when I take em to school. And you knew I would do it. Easy to see through, like a fluid. I've made some mistakes in the past. And I know that I can't take it back. All I can do is be a better me Be good to you or let you be. We got history. And I don't wanna sabotage all the good things that I know this could be. Everybody different in the way they get perceived. And I just wanna help unravel the mystery. So walk with me down a winding path Don't know where it leads. We might be back. Fork in the road, one white one black. I'm sitting in the middle with a cypress rash. Can't help but feel The wounds of indecision may never heal. Lookin at the way I'm living. Can't tell for real. It stinks. Plug my nose but I smell it still. I just can't get rid of it. All of this personal growth and I've only changed a little bit. I hate to admit it but, at least I've come a long way from ignorant. [Hook] Gotta read, learn, listen, teach (x4) [Verse 2] So many current events that I see Really weigh on my mind. Every day all the time and I just can't fake that I'm blind Finally I'm taking action Creating more art out of passion Than I ever did as a distraction And I'm hoping that it'll outlast me. Never was head of the class, but Most of the time I was passing. And if it was different than how I've been giving it, everyone listen. Got questions? Then ask em. I just wanna make progress Am I already there? No not yet. Still got a long way to go, but for the steps I've taken, I'm grateful. I'ma try to to quit stressing. Count all my blessings. Be more forgiving and learning my lessons. If I regress, I'll go back and address it. This is my quest, my mission, my test. I don't know why it still feels like I'm flexin My brain exercising I can't deny it. Before I had Tried everything but trying. [Hook] Gotta read, learn, listen, teach (x4)

Anything It Takes 03:40
lyrics
[Hook] Ayyye! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. All of your enemies, friends, all fakes. They'll do anything it takes Okay! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. Enemies, friends, all fakes. anything that it takes [Verse1] Think I won't snap throw hands. clap back You'd be wrong. with one song, I can do all of that. In a call and response. What's that? Glad you asked. I'm here to educate Don't misinterpret the facts. Extra! Extra! This is a news flash! The underprivileged are rarely first to attack. It's a dark motivation to be yearning for cash that's then getting taxed for us to keep earning it back. So we turn to the tracks alleyways, out backs. Any ways we can make Any change, and that's wack. I'm trying to find a solution and you should be too, so the youth we're producin can do whatever they wish to. That be cool. Can you imagine? Just picture a world where anything can happen. Not so bigoted and so olde fashioned. Where love can be distributed free and not rationed. [Hook] Ayyye! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. All of your enemies, friends, all fakes. They'll do anything it takes Okay! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. Enemies, friends, all fakes. anything that it takes [Verse2] Another story of Evil looking Good in the face and asking "Why you always make it about race?" ----You're the pot Calling the kettle what? That's what I thought. Now sit down and shut up. The bad apple doesn't fall far from the tree Not one good apple In the vicinity Rooty tooty fresh and fruity do your duty quick or leave If you knew me you would truly not be pulling at my sleeve I wish that this just didn't have to happen. I'd rather be smokin and nappin than making beats and rappin. But my anger is a catalyst scientific reaction No more blatant inaction that's lacking in passion Not letting social distance limit social interaction There's a method to my madness It's contagious. Hope you catch it. I'm giving you all my energy What you're giving should match it I'm about to start cussing Dagnabbit! Dad-blasted! [Hook] Ayyye! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. All of your enemies, friends, all fakes. They'll do anything it takes Okay! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. Enemies, friends, all fakes. anything that it takes Ayyye! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. All of your enemies, friends, all fakes. They'll do anything it takes Okay! The end of the world won't wait. It's already been taking place. Enemies, friends, all fakes. anything that it takes

lyrics
[Hook] The world is such a hateful place. I wanna do whatever it takes. They say to fight fire with fire. I can't. I may Just have to call it a day. Okay? Okay? Okay? No way. [Verse 1] I gotta keep it movin' we've been doing all of the work and I can't believe any of this could've happened to me Never was meant to be rappin you see. I feel I approach it inadequately. But how could it be? One tape later I'm slappin again. Mackin a 10. Magazine. That was just me, snappin it in, with a mischievious grin. Laughing and then, -- swearing to God and my mama that I won't ever let it happen again. Knowing that THAT was a sin. I'ma backslide after a minute Back to the beginning. Because, [Hook] The world is such a hateful place. I wanna do whatever it takes. They say to fight fire with fire. I can't. I may Just have to call it a day. Okay? Okay? Okay? No way. [Verse 2] I gotta try again. Out of the nest and fly again. Hoping that I don't fall out of the tree. I gotta get all this under my wing. Repitition, repitition, repitition, Then I'll get it. Hold up gimme a minute. I just barely started. Let me finish. What kinda therapist is this? I hope it's covered by my benefits, Or I'ma start throwing bigger fits Around the room like after-dinner mints. As if it didn't make a difference. Everyone else is an idiot. -- Dangit I did it again. [Hook/Outro] The world is such a hateful place. I wanna do whatever it takes. They say to fight fire with fire. I can't. I may Just have to call it a day. Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? Okay?
