Strive Songtext

von Apani B. Fly

I'm growing everyday, mark what I say
I'm tracing a path from the past to the future
Gotta be my own woman, stand on my own two

Eat food, get paid despite what others do
To thine own self be loyal, true it is
I got pets, two cats, and they act just like kids
When they hungry they cop fits and then collectors want money
So how a stranger gonna up take that from me?
Burn my time and energy, jerks ain't no friends to me
Solitude be the remedy?
Nah
I need love in my life, friends by my side
Live stimulation, banter, conversation
Good vibrations, don't think I'm asking for much
But these things don't just fall out the sky
Skunk got me so crunked, it make me want to spend my whole life high Float on a puff of smoke and hope?
Multiply my ESP, sharpen my focus Things look grim now, they used to look hopeless
Don't stop striving, it's going to be good, baby If you need guidance, take a minute and marinate, yeah Who you gonna help when you can't help yourself?
Where you gonna go when there ain't no place left?
Some days I get a ray of understanding and the answers are clear Next day it fades away like it was never here Sometimes I'm inclined to believe that time ain't stable Or my mind not stable?
I check and see if the rhymes still stable Peeling cards and read my life off the table Taste what I hate out the bottle Goes down sweet when I swallow Though it smells like contradiction Ask, "
Is this enriching my life?" Inch by inch I get by If I flinch and move do I?
Flesh and bone My illest rhyme floated on my tombstone Even when I come home, it's not prescribed for time?
Long
Don't stop striving, it's going to be good, baby If you need guidance, take a minute and marinate, yeah Who you gonna help when you can't help yourself?
Where you gonna go when there ain't no place left?
All the naysayers who pop junk and waste time They don't embrace life and it shows Kids I used to know, even when I squint Can't really place the face Details time erased, years spent in space Yo it's nothing personal These days I don't even have the strength to get emotional Hold golden perspective, make earnest effort?
Retrace my steps through global sections Reconnecting with those over choice liquor toasts Nothing to keep me back from me When I plans closely, analyze what my daddy told me He took time to explain it, learned from how he lived?
Fire in my belly burn like a furnace Desire in my eyes both stronger than pie Burn less with the rest of them Take what's in stride And to rank amongst the best of them?
Pray what I say be relevant To every single?
And every tenament?
Outside the jackpots?
Leverage Ask for what you want and keep talking till you getting it, word
Don't stop striving, it's going to be good, baby If you need guidance, take a minute and marinate, yeah Who you gonna help when you can't help yourself?
Where you gonna go when there ain't no place left?
