[00:29.85]Lie awake with a dream and then fall asleep with a concept
[00:32.64]I hear a lot of chatter about hustling on the daily
[00:35.25]But when did the discussion come pay me? Never
[00:37.62]This the man that's behind the words that do whatever it takes
[00:40.50]I'm not too proud to eat the scrapings off plates
[00:42.63]Turn your nose up

[01:11.67]Nah, you ain't got the tears for this
[01:14.10]Nah, you ain't got the feel for this
[01:15.81]You ain't got the years for this
[01:17.46]Nah, you ain't got the heart for this
[01:19.44]Nah, you ain't got the heart for this
[01:21.15]Turn it up
[01:21.78][Verse 2: Oddisee]
[01:22.20]When do I not have a lot on my mind
[01:24.18]Contemplating what to do with my time
[01:26.31]I'm pursuing a grind that runs faster than my passion and I'm
[01:29.73]Tryna match it with the habit to shine
[01:31.56]Money coming and going
[01:32.91]Predict the pattern what I'm tryna define
[01:34.95]Already knowing is a tragic decline
[01:37.08]Before the show end
[01:37.98]Show up with a "I know what" instead of "why"
[01:40.56]The answer ain't in the sky don't expect a reply
[01:43.20]I'm just expecting decline
[01:44.58]I'm scared to death that
[01:45.75]This the best I'ma get before God come and collect his breath back
[01:51.87][Arabic?]
[01:53.43]So I don't sweat that
[01:54.51]I got a lot of blessings at stake
[01:56.16]And I would hate to take them all in the vein
[01:58.14]Like I was shooting up base
[01:59.55]I'm in the trap you might know it as states
[02:01.59]A Murryland boy who wants the world to rejoice at my recording of tapes
[02:05.10]Y'all don't hear me why

[02:35.37]He hustled for the struggle to stop the troubles ahead of me
[02:38.04]That's when he had a diner off of New Hampshire Ave
[02:40.65]Didn't last, Reaganomics set the market to crash
[02:43.23]When I'm back home I always make a point to go past
[02:45.93]To see the spot as a reminder of how good could go bad
[02:48.69]This the world that I inherited
[02:50.28]Furthered it through the murderous weekend meager the nervousness
[02:53.04]Look at me I'm impervious
[02:54.45]Take your best shot and make sure that I'm done
[02:56.73]Cause if I'm not I'll come back to take the life from your lung
[02:59.55]I fight The Good Fight
[03:00.57]The merits of my actions is slow
[03:02.40]Overnight: Nothing worth it would grow
[03:04.35]This I learned from the modest of folks
[03:06.39]Fake artists with your targets' to blow
[03:08.52]Y'all implode
[03:09.30]We ain't guarding your soul
[03:19.83]Yeah
