Well, I've been dreamin' bout sleep
'cause it's an every day routine
Pullin 9 to 9 to 9 'cause I gotta bring it

but clearly I have finally found that
what you get is what you see

Now I'm out the door,
got nothing to lose now
But that statement fades away
my mind, myself, my independence
not tomorrow for today

'Cause it's the wa that it goes
and it's what nobody knows
working for livin, livin for life
so either step on or step off,
but do what you gotta do
cause I'm the one, bring it around,
thrown it back at ou

Pray how you wanna
live, whatcha wanna smoke
Revoke, you see
just not on my time

Live how you wanna
give, whatcha wanna take
Relate, you'll find
it's harder to rewind
when it's you who's left behi
