Comin' Up (2011)

I worked my ass off as a kid so I could stash money Flash the dollar bills and grab all the honey But while I was having fun, I was thinking ahead too Giving in to no religion, I expanded my mind Questions that were given opened up to find Answers as to what I was getting into Yeah, it might hurt a little, but take a look at that dude Toothless, homeless, with half his mind missing Yeah, his body's rotten and his past is long forgotten But I don't play with nothing hard I stick with what's real Beyond the front yard, I'm by myself to deal With this war zone that was your home and mine We just want to go home or roam the mines Even then we will stay to the lines That lead us to our destination This nation will fall, disregarding us all, and putting up a wall To separate the hate from the love in this world I saw it fold up then it twisted and twirled Hurled itself into outer space As if Earth wasn't enough So we had to invade other planets, but damnit We could've been happy here Drinking Coronas in Florida with nothing to fear I'm comin' up Beneath the sheath The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage The world's a stage where people reenact the past Don't even ask about the task Follow the sun, no clouds to mask Sit and bask, relax No sudden blows or impacts Just move with the movement and do what they're doing Keep your cool when the situation is heated And if it escalates on, stay seated and calm Watch the wrong walk away because you disengaged As the target, you were harmless But still could never sway You're the fearless, you're the farthest From being scared away Because when the time comes, and it will, you're ready You'll grab your finest guns, hold them straight and steady Lock, load, and unload Extra ammo for the reload Because if you fold, then he knows If he blows, then you go Maybe upwards to heaven from Earth Just listen to these words and they may grant you rebirth Every second is worth a lifetime with lines of rhymes About limes and lemons, and rhythms of women And taking and giving, and loving and living This story can't be written So we live unforbidden and hope to be forgiven And given another chance to dance a little bit slower Because before we know it, this life is over I'm comin' up Beneath the sheath, The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage. The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age, the world's a stage The blade of truth is born of youth And graced by age
