Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

I don't read, yeah, I just guess

I don't engage in reading, I rely on guessing

As the world turns

As things happen in the world

Don't bother me with your mess

I don't want to be bothered with your problems


I'm trying to do my best

I'm striving to give my best effort

Get my head up out the stress

I'm trying to remove myself from stressful situations

When the money turns the world

When money becomes the priority, affection decreases

Your lovin' turns to less

Love diminishes when wealth becomes significant


I learn by mistakes

I learn from errors, many of which are yours

Most of it is yours and

Most of the mistakes are attributed to you

I'm done living life as a criminal

I'm no longer living a life involved in criminal activities

I thought I'd die young just to please the old

Initially, I thought I would die young to please older people

Now I teach the young, I'm victorial

Now I teach the younger generation, achieving a victorious status

I'd rather go on

Prefer to keep moving forward, adapt to changes than to stay stagnant

Go up and down

-

Turn myself all around

-

Then to stay down

I'd rather go on

Go up and down

-

Turn myself all around

Then to stay down

The war in me makes a warrior

The internal conflict within me creates strength like that of a warrior

Like a pitbull gettin' with a terrier

Comparing the resilience gained to a strong dog breed

I'm better off in North Korea

Would prefer being in a place of difficulty but with authenticity

Yeah, droppin' from a barrel of a carrier

Compared to falling from the aircraft carrier, facing challenges head-on


'Coz I got enough to be more

Having enough, closing off distractions to focus on personal growth

It's hard enough to get more

-

I shut the door on everything

-

Just to let my head blow

-

'Coz I got enough to be more

-

It's hard enough to get more

-

I shut the door on everything

-

Just to let my head blow

Picture this, a dull grey street in the train

Imagining a dull, lifeless street scene in the train

Neon signs gonna shine though

Visualizing a scenario where someone finds their worth and shines brightly

Shorty you gonna shine though

-

Come up on ya treasure trove

-

Like the sun explode

-

Check up in the paper

Checking the newspaper and mirror for guidance or predictions

In the mirror for ya horoscope

-

Walking on a tightrope

Feeling uncertain, taking risks without knowing the outcome

Go for something, I don't even know

Struggling to find a direction, sending signals, eliminating unwanted things

Where to get it from

-

Sending out a signal

-

Smoke from a gun blow

-

As I knock off knock off

-

Things that I don't want
