- Young eager minds, open up your ears please
- Come a little closer so that everyone can hear me

- No little flyers that I know you will throw away
- Instead I've come to speak on life and reality
- The best ways to live with an increased salary
- Happiness, joy, the things that you wanna be
- Lifetime rewards that you think you are gonna see
- A hot wife who talks like you're the only thought, right?
- Not quite...don't expect a spotlight.
- Instead of being given, everything is taken
- (kinda like the movies Liam Neeson is makin')
- Anyways, yeah, you own no possessions
- You only get to lease them, that's no question.
- High speed Internet, cable from a wire
- Not so fast when you put them to the fire.
- There are many things that I won't say or mention.
- I won't speak twice, so please pay attention.
- Life is a gold mine, crazy thing, kids:
- It's only shiny rocks if you're too lazy to dig.
- I have a lot of points but if one thing is learned
- it's that nothing gains value because everything burns.
- "But that's other people, for me, it's unlikely."
- Yeah, 'til you headline on NBC Nightly.
- All that I'm saying is that life plays no favorites.
- Innocence is short, so appreciate and savor it.
- One day you'll grow into a dark, sad face and
- you'll wish you had sent in some college applications.
- Watching friends graduate brings a quick flash of hate.
- Every day you wonder how you could have fallen last in place.
- If only you had done this, if only you had done that.
- Now you're sittin' on the couch, writin' down dumb raps.
- Life is like Life and you only ever spin a one
- Working 'til you die and you're only makin' minimum.
- Your brain feels dark and you think that it's depression.
- Your counselor is clueless and you start to think he's guessin'.
- No one understands you, no one has a damn clue.
- Plan 1 bombed and you didn't have a Plan 2.
- It's kind of hard to live when you're living in your bed.
- Goals are only wishes when they're sitting in your head.
- Maybe is a word and it's also a state of mind.
- Maybe is a life where you only stay within the lines.
- Maybe is a cancer for all the things that you're good at.
- The only thing worse than a maybe is a should have.
- Life is a mountain, satisfaction tops it.
- The climb is the journey and the only thing that stops it.
- You can be barefoot, hungry and tired.
- But if you have a passion then your burden is lighter.
- I've seen skyscrapers brought to the rocky beds.
- Huts in the desert with satisfied occupants.
- Do or do not, it doesn't make a difference.
- Sometimes people are just born gifted.
- It doesn't matter now, but as you start to get old
- You'll wish you had tried when you're dying and regretful.
- So take my advice, fight for your life.
- 'Cuz death is a thief committing heists in the night.
- Even if you're talented, how long will that last you?
- People working harder are about to surpass you.
- I hope that I spoke to you, but if I frightened
- then take my advice from the pit that I'm in.
