LYRICS:

[verse 1]
I woke up in the morning it was almost nearly afternoon.
Last night surprise in their eyes like what happened to him.
I never fell off but I sure did get knocked down
I’ve been picking up the rubble clearing off ground.
Found myself facing the toughest situation I had ever experienced
Very near went delirious
Contemplated leaving this plain
But I washed away that stain in my brain
Because I knew I had too much to gain.
Rebound like good D in a game of hoops
I be surrounded by some troops that helped me regroup
Recouping everything that was lost when everything was just tossed in the wind
Won’t go there again I know how much it all costs my friend.
I began feeling like I got a new lease on life
Sabbatical inner work helped me to relieve the strife
I got the twists and the turns of her knife
But I bandaged the damage and managed dammit.

[verse 2]
One door closes and another door opens
I scan across the land and lock on targets I’m scoping
Hoping for sunny days until the air is filled with smog
All it takes is a little rain to wash it off that’s all
Sometimes that’s a tall order to fill
Get in the crannies and nooks in the books with my quill
And fill pages and kill rages
Still stage is where I feel at home
So I’m doing the groundwork and leaving the baggage alone.
I’m rising like the tide when off shore quakes of the earth
Cause the waves to roll my way man I’m shapen the dirt
Building a new structure and using the wisdom of the messenger’s lessons to touch ya.
Be flexible to adjust if you feel like it’s too much
It’s just reflection of my projection
It’s quantum mechanics mixed with the Tao
Take the negative make it positive somehow
You be like wow
When I throw it at you like BLOW!
[CHORUS]
Life can be tough as a steak that’s over done.
Now that I know what’s at stake it’s over son.
For the love of the music, my son, and my crew and no one else,
Nothing’s gonna stop me now unless I stop myself.

[verse 3]
And I won’t allow that to happen
I’ll manifest and shape and create with rapping djing producing beats
Displaying destroying crowds
Destroy the clouds that wanna steal my sunshine.
Gotta put in the work before I can enjoy the fun times.
Gotta plant the seeds before I eat the vegetables and fruits.
Gotta pick the weeds before they sprout up and develop roots.
Gotta water then I oughta have it made.
Add sugar and water to these lemons and make lemonade.
Take every step on this path that’s laid carefully.
Whatever it is I need I’ll grab ‘cause it’s there for me.
There’s a light at the end I’m gaining on it ‘bout to bathe in it
Almost lost my way for awhile but that’s the way it gets
Along the road trying to cross the finish line
Outer influences pounce and trounce it’s spinach time
Like I was Popeye I guess
I just make progress
Looking back like I made it through ahhh YES!

[CHORUS]
Life can be tough as a steak that’s over done.
Now that I know what’s at stake it’s over son.
For the love of the music, my son, and my crew and no one else,
Nothing’s gonna stop me now unless I stop myself.

Life can be tough as a steak that’s over done.
Now that I know what’s at stake it’s over son.
For the love of the music, my son, and my crew and no one else,
Nothing’s gonna stop me now!
