[** feat. Blueprint, Illogic:]
2
[Intro: ~Envelope~]
3
Hehe. I overcame a speech impediment*
4
People don't know that about me man. Crippling speech impediment
5
[Verse 1: ~Envelope~]
6
My nana
7
Told me these words one time
8
There are no, shortcuts in life
9
And I don't ever wanna hear that came to your surprise
10
If you made something wrong you better work to right
11
From that first breath your lungs, gasp to hold
12
To that, last moment when your casket closed
13
There is, one principle you have to know
14
If you never worked for it, you never had your own
15
Now I ain't tryin' to hear cats about keepin' it real
16
I keep it true that's how I keep my appeal
17
Sometimes my shit is stupid or deep in the field
18
I'm still conscious, of every word I speak for real
19
Don't know what you're sayin', I ain't got no bitch
20
She's a woman, better watch your lip
21
To that boy and girl that got a relationship
22
If you ain't got trust then you ain't got shit
23
And most definitely then, you got's to chill
24
But who the fuck am I?
25
Doctor Phil?
26
Shit, I'm not man, your mom's for real
27
Just a middle class kid that's got a skill
28
[Chorus (2x): ~Envelope~]
29
Do what you gotta do
30
Use what you gotta use
31
Just be your own man, everything else is optional
32
Fool who you gotta fool
33
Move what you gotta move
34
Just be your own man, everything else is optional
35
[Verse 2: ~Illogic~]
36
Yo, every aspect of livings floatin'
37
As an origami pigeon with golden wing tips unfolded seamless
38
My heart pumps rigorous till cart bumps awesome
39
I spit with purpose while he spits worthless, lost 'em
40
I write for my son's eyes to see, no disguisin' me
41
Straight laced with a straight face just in case they watchin' me
42
I'm not perfect but I perfected White-Out and correctional tape
43
Hindsight's 20/20, no reason for repeated mistakes
44
Skipped the rock across the lake to watch the ripples spread
45
To symbolize the vastness of existence when driven by persistence
46
Led by the light while most are led by the night
47
Use insight to fight for the right to right the wrongs
48
And fight for the right to write the songs
49
That breath life into the mic, so all y'all can sing along
50
I try to open minds with ever scripted sentence
51
I take over the game of Life and y'all can keep ridin' the benches
52
[Chorus (2x): ~Envelope~]
53
Do what you gotta do
54
Use what you gotta use
55
Just be your own man, everything else is optional
56
Fool who you gotta fool
57
Move what you gotta move
58
Just be your own man, everything else is optional
59
[Verse 3: ~Blueprint~]
60
It's a hard life
61
So I stay away from dog fights
62
With the animals that hang out all night
63
That don't really give a fuck if you alright
64
Cause to them, your life is a small price
65
Fast cars open scars from bar fights
66
Turn around and do the same thing tomorrow night
67
Hidin' they face from the rays of dawn light
68
Try as they might they can't escape from God's sight
69
Cause God's sight runs free without harness
70
Illuminating the way and total darkness
71
From the rich and high rise apartments
72
To the poor that's stuck in housing projects
73
Even though I hate it
74
The hardship I face keeps my notes updated
75
I'm stimulated by hatred
76
Plus the cracked pavement reminds me that escape is near
77
You just gotta find it
78
[Chorus (2x): ~Envelope~]
79
Do what you gotta do
80
Use what you gotta use
81
Just be your own man, everything else is optional
82
Fool who you gotta fool
83
Move what you gotta move
84
Just be your own man, everything else is optional
