The five tones deafen the ears
The five flavors dull the taste
Grazing and hunting madden the mind
Precious things lead one astray
Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels
And not by what he sees
He let's go of that
And chooses this
Money and women I never saved
The roads I walked were never paved
25 years I lived a slaved
Till I learned you can't take shit to the grave
Yeah, the only bare minimum was the wage
Complacent they saying it's just a phase
See on they face they so amazed
Tell your story but is somebody else turning the page
But everyone acting like they forgot
Everyone acting like they forgot
I don't like people missing they shot
One life to live thats all we got
And everyone acting like they forgot
Everyone acting like they forgot
Life is too short, it's like a dot
Watchu gon do if you forgot
Knowing yourself, it isn't easy
The world is polluted by non believing
Aetheists always seaking the reason
If god is dead, then whats the meaning
Shouts out to nietzche I live by carpe diem
Louboutins for my bitch, she got my carpet bleeding
Devil on my shoulder I can hear him breathing
God sitting close too but he bout silent teaching
2017 dawg I was barely eating
Theres a time for planting seeds
And theres a time for feasting
People never stay the same they change up like the seasons
I've seen people go insane and say they got their reasons
When the hour comes, forgive, we all got our demons
Alot of fake smiles, who knows what they concealing
Is this real life
Trapped in reality
Forgetting who you are
Baby thats the real casualty
Money and women I never saved
The roads I walked were never paved
25 years I lived a slaved
Till I learned you can't take shit to the grave
Yeah, the only bare minimum was the wage
Complacent they saying it's just a phase
See on they face they so amazed
Tell your story but is somebody else turning the page
But everyone acting like they forgot
Everyone acting like they forgot
I don't like people missing they shot
One life to live thats all we got
And everyone acting like they forgot
Everyone acting like they forgot
Life is too short, it's like a dot
Watchu gon do if you forgot
Dare to stop short and fill to the brim
Oversharpen the blade and the edge will soon blunt
Amass a store of gold and chains, and no one can protect it
Claim wealth and titles and disaster will follow
Retire when the work is done
This is the way to heaven
