Lyrical Analysis of...
GETTING A LIFE
- I'm taking some time out from hardship
- I ponder my next move …I'll give it some rip
- Tired of the world's pushing and shoving
- It's my time now, I'm on to a good thing
- i'll do some chilling, hang out with the hood,
- Damn sure, this here will do me some good
- On the 9 5 for a boss man, ain't my thing
- what's in it for me? Only the tills that ring
- lining their pockets with trappings of wealth
- I slog and slave and damage my health
- Pappa once told me: "If you gonna be happy son"
- Gotta go out there and have some fun
- So yeah ......
- I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- to dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away,
- to dream my dreams and do it my way
- Can't let this bitch slapping vocation get me down
- Bully boys steal my joy, all I do is frown
- Sitting all day, churning out work
- Can't relieve myself, cause boss man asks: 'Where are you jerk?'
- Pores over me like a man possessed
- I had it coming, I could have guessed
- The bad vibe has my stomach in a knot
- Time to end this and give life a shot
- I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So what ya gonna do wit' your life asks Mr Cool
- Let's say, 'I dunno' all I know is I'm no fool
- Packing shelves on the 9 9 at the MART
- There's more to life, let's keep it smart
- I'll rub the sleep from my eyes not thinking about my boss
- Freeing my mind from the chains of all the dross
- No highway snarl ups an' road rage for the time being
- That drudgery anyhow is not my thing
- For a while, the world will be my playground
- In time to come, I'll tell you what I've found
- I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- I was told: "You have to be something in this life"
- This is not the way to do it, for me far too much strife
- I won't be thinking of life's next chapter yet
- I know I'll make, it's all I can bet
- My book of life being written as I speak
- Time to kick butt and empower the weak
- Doubt etched on the faces of work chums
- I say, Don't fret, I'll still be around cause I'm no bum
- I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- You work your butts off slogging away
- Not taking this punishment, no more no way
- Life's too good our there to be sitting here
- You have to take some risks and have no fear
- If you do not try you'll never know
- What's it like ...to let the river of life just flow and flow
- If you will slave and slog, let me enjoy
- My new life out there for I am no toy
- I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'll catch y'all on the sly
- Who knows, you might just be driving by
- I won't forget y'all, but I will this place,
- This joint's not for a guy like me, this pretty face,
- Plans have I, dreams I harbour, a future ahead
- Maybe a Lambourghini for this petrol head
- When it comes, I'll still have my feet on the ground
- 'Cause in this hood, that's where I was found
- Now don't you sweat, now don't you fret
- I'll make something of my life just yet
- I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away
- To dream my dreams and do it my way
- YES DOING IT MY WAY!
