L[earn]

Anything you want to get in life you got to earn.

Wanna be a wise man then you got to go and learn

Time to be strong and independent, then ya got to feel the burn

 

I turn the lead into gold, told ya that I'd never leave a story untold

Even in a scolding rage I engage in some cold lyricism, let ya feel uncontrolled

The dirty ol south come spouting out my mouth as a devout holy roller speakin' the word

I'm out here chillin' in the park when I overheard a couple a men sayin:

"Yo man when we gonna be seein' some a that molly"

Grown ass men tendin' to get tempted by that same shit that got their

parents exempted from a good life.

Bet they mother musta been a trap queen cluchin' a knife livin' in the nightlife

 

Anything you want to get in life you got to earn.

Wanna be a wise man then you got to go and learn

Time to be strong and independent, then ya got to feel the burn

 

sweat pourin' down my face, regardless a my race, I can't let my home be replaced

by a wall mart. That's why my music gotta come and break the charts

Don't wanna be livin' with a low salary, 65 years some are still in debt

So be careful and make no choices that ya gonna regret.

 

Anything you want to get in life you got to earn.

Wanna be a wise man then you got to go and learn

Time to be strong and independent, then ya got to feel the burn

 

Hey, don't fret; just live. In this world in order to receive ya gotta give.

So just try to live a good live, be sure to pray every day, and you'll find ya way

Don't ever let yourself get led astray.

No worries 'bout yesterday, today, or tomorrow

Follow the light, hang on to ya rosary real tight, and everything's gonna be alright

 

Anything you want to get in life you got to earn.

Wanna be a wise man then you got to go and learn

Time to be strong and independent, then ya got to feel the burn

 

Yo, I yearn for the day that I make my way to be the fly MC that you see on MTV

I know the road's gonna be hard, but I trust in god.

Every man has a time when they gotta readjust.

I wanna fight for what is good and just,

Sometimes it saddens me to see when people disagree with givin' to charity

Maybe I'm made with more sensitivity than most people that ya see.

But I guarantee that I'll always be me.
