Lyrics

I always try to Iron out all the Dramatic things Work out all the wrinkles And yet and still the Static clings Dudes I used to be cool with see my cool whip Envy is all they seem to have inside their Tool kit To top it off, They see my acres of land, green grass spans with a lake view They think I'm still rolling in doe like back in 92 I tell em, I bought property, check my bars in achen for acres must I remind you But that's not as sexy I'm still a nigga to this country never been a Becky My good hair is natty & nappy Corporate nah Never saw me in khakis Im surrounded by White in the music world like Black Keys Sometimes it's only Whites and Asians thats supporting me. I can shout revolution but only people with free minds can fathom a non latchkey solution To live or die by your own grit and constitution I didn't make the rules And all these people with a ruler Trying to measure my life But I'm just inching through You can be judge & jury baby boo I don't care I didn't make the rules And all these people with a ruler Trying to measure my life And I'm just inching through I'm just trying to live my life I'm just trying to live my life my life my life my life The best I can Making the best moves trying to stay true Making mistakes of course learning and changing the chorus I'm just trying to live my life my life my life The best I can Swaying evergreens and super tall oak trees They know I'm fire already why Try to stoke me? Most see my inner hippy - Make love not war - That's what I'm here for Don't make me Buy a Green piece To match with my bongo wrap by rasa don Cruising in my Jeep on the type of Strips that Gaza's on Stand back, get back, I bar u like a Kit Kat Snap on you like a ball cap Or I'd rather we just Chit chat But inevitably U give em enough rope - the clash Is bound to happen like socks we Mitch match I guess I get that When someone matches your energy you need to guard that Like a head in a Hard hat - the hard facts is I'm too old to and that said too cold Blooded I'd rather avoid rubbish Invite you to my home and knead my own dough Got bread in the oven Can't we have a civil discussion? I didn't make the rules And all these people with a ruler Trying to measure my life But I'm just inching through You can be judge & jury baby boo I don't care I didn't make the rules And all these people with a ruler Trying to measure my life And I'm just inching through Making the best moves trying to stay true Making mistakes of course learning and changing the course I'm just trying to live my life my life my life my life The best I can Try to sue me and defame to the lawyers its just a game If our friendship goes up in flames To them its just the same And greed and deceit among thieves they've been trained by the Black law dictionary Sovereignty is their claim But we were sovereign Making audio documents Slaying countries and continents Living life that others wish Almost 3 and half years trying to get a deal And only 2 and half years having some real mass appeal Jesus take the wheel - we unfortunately had contrasting skills So we separated, lack of motivation Another black promising organization Lost in translation As if I was the villain - that's the story that's painted I know we were all tainted - I say I don't care But obviously I do - my broken heart hasn't healed or soothed I was in my twenties, now I'm fifty two Life is an hour glass sand steady sifting through I didn't make the rules And all these people with A ruler trying to measure my life
