…you're blue
There's always someone who has it worse than you
Sometimes you gotta pay your dues
So don't worry just push…
…real
To all my homies working on the 9 to 5
And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble
Keep'n it real
Although sometimes I know it seems…
…real
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible
There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep'n it…

…than just getting by
The drought of debt it leaves us dry
Please know we're doing our
Very best
I've been dragging us through…
…this time to make you see
This lifes not what it seems to be
[Verse 2]:
You talk behind closed doors
About everything you're going…
…of myself
No truth in your memory
I need this time to make you see
This lifes not what it seems to be
[Guitar Solo]
How the hell was I supposed to know
What the f*ck is wrong with you…

…and blue
There's always someone who has it worse than you

So don't worry just push…

Keep'n it real
Although sometimes I know it seems…
…of trouble
Keep'n it real
Although sometimes I know it seems impossible
There ain't no need in drowning in your sorrows
Keep'n it…

That the building in front of you is nothing more than energy, just slowed down
When we also realize…
…that we are not seeing everything as it is
Nothing is what it seems a all, a lot of the times this is liberating."

Feel no guilt
Takin' yah money…
…was puzzled by his feelings of inadequacy

Hey everyone/
So today we're talking about life/
I mean… lifes short right/
But it doesn't seem that way/
When we only…
…/
What am I living for?/
Lifes like a movie you've never seen/
Do not fast forward/
Do not skip a scene/
I wanna live through all of it…

[Midtro]
See the thing is/
I don't think life is measured in years/
To me/
It seems life is more accurately measured/
Through…

…always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law, and I'm from the Dogg Pound
[Verse 1…
…(Motherfucker)
Dre labels my vocabulary abusive
I packs more knowledge than Confucius, I'm deadly
Induce you like Medusa…
…hoes lifes empty, the invicible MC
[Chorus]
New York, New York, big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't always what it seems…

…here's closure
My brother Kane he's more than that
Tells me to breath in and out and holds me back…
…lifes been
Yall made songs wanting to fuck girls under age
But compared to me the island boys just under H
If it was real 1z…
They stayed more local than the gastown pubs
Tweet about me and see me in person and dab me up
Who raised yall thats…

Somethin gotta give with the way Im livin
Seems Im gettin down everyday
The more I strive, the less Im alive
And it seems I'm…
…gettin further away
Oh well, all my superstitions
And my crazy suspicions
Of the people that I care about
I've been doin more…
…screamin
Than I've been doin dreamin
And I think its time I figured it out
Yeah, baby I need a plan, oh, to understand
That life aint…

…b>(Verse 1)
I turned 21 in prison, locked up at night
Now I walk around free, it seems like another life
Another role…
…better than all of you, vendettas be mauling you
You talking cheddar, Im a shredder, Ill sever it off of you
I never remorse…
…gimmicky
Related to royalty on each trip you mention me
Twist bars illishly, rebel against the infantry
Get more than your feet wet…

Tragic flawed matador vagabond Barrymore
Get it just to find that I don't want to have it anymore
Working, working…
…to this hell, I'm growing into more than a shell
Absorbing this cell, the one they call the body
No longer being chased…
…in the s450
Blessed with investors and dressed more pretty
Than a woman in summer inhale the good marijuana…

…use to be stronger or worth
More than what lifes had me know
Then i started writing my own and fighting my ghosts and my demons…
…days be more warm and not cold
Handshake me not topple and rape me
And yeah i may seem hostile and frankly
Ive got told im crazy…
A fucking meal, they all go in for
The kill, yeah. Its not what it seems
People out here living…
