I am a man of pride
No way you gonna pry that from me
Nah
Cause on the inside I'm dyin
And all my pride is what I'm riding on to make these rhymes
Put in time
Cause when I'm gone
This is my life
Bury me with headphones on
Bury me with headphones on
I wanna carry my music to the spirits
But first I'm hear on earth to spit lyrics
That confuse and astound
You only love me when I'm not around
So what am I to do when it's late at night
And you're blowin' up my phone with texts that's right
And texts that's wrong
And texts that sing that same old song
About what we had and what's long gone
And why we never gonna get back what we had going
Nah nah
I can't go back to that
I ain't going back to that
So whatchu gonna do with your life
Just sit inside and die?
Get outside go make some rhymes
Get up
Get up
I been sitting inside for most of my life
And I'm done dyin' so here's my rhymin'
Get up
Get up
Said I'm done dyin'
So here's my rhymin'
My life
My story
My bit a rhythm
Those kids you hate yeah I been sittin' with em
And it's been these drugs and bingin'
That got me livin'
I ain't ever seen the world like this
Through the eyes of a man ignorant like bliss
This acid got me lookin' in new ways
Like it ain't about the color or the religion or the race
It's the brain behind the face
And the heart beatin' pace
And the way that you carry yourself on your way
To whatever you're aiming for
so what are you waiting for?
Get up
Get out
The world is such a crazy place
But you can't see shit with a screen glued to your face
So whatchu gonna do with your life
Just sit inside and die?
Get outside go make some rhymes
Get up
Get up
I been sitting inside for most of my life
And I'm done dyin' so here's my rhymin'
Get up
Get up
