Yo, I`mma call it like I see it
Crave it, but don`t need it
Proceed it to dig into these roots deep seeded
And indeed is one of life most ironic infections
I`m born with it, no protection in this game so long
I think I`m immune to rejection
Search for perfection, desperation starts to set in
Settling for something less, it don`t mean I`m worthless
Just don`t want to deal with the stress
Of in general pursuit of happiness
Whole goal right now is for you to react to this
That`s why, spill my guts, hopes you catch my drift
I got a gift rapped in words designed to uplift
My one true love I`m dedicated to this
Would you give it up, never go out with swinging fists
I can`t lose you disrespect, or abuse you
I`mma stand alone and battle any crew that choose to use you in vain
Pimpin` ain`t the game, the money or the fame
Back up in it, I will always be your man
We`ll grow together even when these time will change
[Odario]
Word, word, word
We got to rise above, what you think of
Push come to shove, everyman wan piece of
R-E-S, P-E-C-T
The plan is to be where you can never find me
Rhyme MC, travel with the blind
The one refined, I see the trouble in all mankind
Practice mine, watch what I`m fiddling
I don`t rhyme fo the sake of riddling
Black truck, you play and get stuck
Press your luck and your goooone
I lost my job today, because I was too busy to work for the man
Had other plans, got to give my life a stand
Like Sly and the Family Stone, you everyday people got to leave me alone
I`m in my zone making home for my soul, untold
Make believe that I`m in control
Slow, that`s the way that the walk go
No, chance to pull in the pay so
So, we lay in the rock and just lay low, low
CHORUS [Odario] {Spitz}
[Everyday is the same thing, we got to maintain]
{Don`t be slipping out the mindframe}
[Find some way, ease the pain
It ain`t easy]
{I just do my thing, yo}
[Everyday is the same thing, we got to maintain]
{Don`t be slipping out the mindframe}
[Find some way, ease the pain
It ain`t easy]
{I just do my thing}
[It ain`t easy]

So what`s my purpose to work this minimum wage?
Or to spurt this, energy live on the stage?
I`m not worthless, I`m done serving, keep your spare change
My job`s to capture all minds within vocal range
And keep you open, open for the best expect the worst
Emmerson(?), a soul in the fluids like immerse
But reverse, because I wouldn`t have it any other way
I`m so hip hop, I`ll freestyle my resume
And initially said I wouldn`t amount to much
The only trait I have is this mic I clutch
You get touched if you try to break the band between us
Us, we partners and we built o ntrust
When I bust, competitors know they dust
Envious, `cause we can make a crowd combust
And a the same time maintain underground status
And still be the baddest when we shoot the gift
Whether we headlining or opening isht
[Odario]
Mad crazy, mad crazy
Mad crazy days up in a crazy world
Find your way, bring the truth untold
We getting lazy, and that`s no lie
People tell me all I have to do is try
Well, these day trying ain`t getting me by
I`m the type of guy to make the well run dry
And defeat the find, it will be you and I
We get together and we truning up the stereo
Coolin` out, we play a little domino
In a one love, one life scenario
So don`t front, yo you can`t see Odario
I take it easy when the worse try to hurt me
Tell the brother please, he don`t know my steez
Ain`t easy when we try to make these dreams
Picking upon these we going overseas (overseas echos)
For y`all that want see the world, got my napsack pack
Yo I got your back, no matter where we at we making room at the top
CHORUS
