One FoOt At A TiMe!...

 
i put my shoes on in the mornin
..one foot at a time
sometimes i see the truth and act just like i'm blind
sometimes i wish the fancy things u own were all mine
but at the.... same time i find i just don't care
 
some say the truth'll set u free
but what if that truth be a lie
what if da..
god u pray to be a pie in the sky?..

its like i'm.... completely brainwashed
and i want to know why
u see this.... curiosity has got the best of me..
 
lets go deep..
jump in this rabbit hole
lets see what unfolds
common truth:

***'because it glitters doesn't mean da its gold'***

and i know..
we been walkin down this yellow brick road
 
You
Me
the Cowardly lion and da Scare crow
 
why?
 
cause i'm in search of a heart..
so many games being play'd..
that's when i heard her say;
 
'TODAY'LL BE DA DAY!'...
 
if i could find anotha way i would..
the time that we spent was good..
but fa.... some reason thangs just don't change..
 
change or rearrange
stand straight up or obtuse
proof is in the living
like Pac when he had juice...
 
like the time that i had proof
...my sista did!
but i got my ass woop'd too...
 
times are strange
or we're living in strange times
when..
a government can come and tax u fa every dime
then..
buy some companies that already failed
now..
i'm no professa but i hustles fa real
and..
i'll neva back a cat that cant sell his sack
 
ur average gangsta sellin dope can tell u da

but a...
these gangstas here
they wearing three pieces suits
they put da..
pen to da pad and tell u what u can and can't do..
 
problem is i'm not a hoe and aint neva been..
we vote um in
then they start actin like pimpin Ken

oh its amazing
they make nothing
but watch um spend

every dime u and ur fam was forced to kick in
 
the world still spins
and rotates wit the passing of time
bes get urs
and believe da im all up on mine
 
Life is a grind
u gotta hustle fa nickles and dimes
or..
sit on ur ass and let da govament give u some cash
now..
im all fa helping
but there's this word called 'HINDRANCE'
im gonna reserve this fa the lazy and ignorant...
 
**aint nottin in life fa free..
**every man must sew his own seed..
**get off ur ass and get on ur feet..
**be warned..
**da Pied Piper makes lies sound sweet..
