Envelope, Illogic, Blueprint - Be Your Own Man (Insignificant Anthems ) lyrics

Hehe i overcame a speech impediment
People don't know that about me
Man crippling speech impediment

My nana told me these words one time
There are no, shortcuts in life
And I don't ever wanna hear
That came to your surprise
If you made something wrong you
Better work to right
From that first breath your lungs
Gasp to hold
To that, last moment when your casket closed
There is, one principle you have to know
If you never worked for it
You never had your own
Now I ain't tryin' to hear
Cats about keepin' it real
I keep it true that's how I keep my appeal
Sometimes my shit is stupid or
Deep in the field i'm still conscious
Of every word I speak for real
Don't know what you're sayin'
I ain't got no bitch
She's a woman, better watch your lip
To that boy and girl that got a relationship
If you ain't got trust then
You ain't got shit
And most definitely then, you got's to chill
But who the fuck am I? Doctor Phil?
Shit, I'm not man, your mom's for real
Just a middle class kid that's got a skill

Do what you gotta do
Use what you gotta use just be your own man
Everything else is optional
Fool who you gotta fool
Move what you gotta move
Just be your own man
Everything else is optional

Yo, every aspect of livings floatin'
As an origami pigeon with golden
Wing tips unfolded seamless
My heart pumps rigorous till
Cart bumps awesome i spit with purpose while
He spit's worthless, lost 'em
I write for my son's eyes to see
No disguisin' me
Straight laced with a straight face just
In case they watchin' me
I'm not perfect but I perfected
White-Out and correctional tape
Hindsight's 20
20, no reason for repeated mistakes
Skipped the rock across the lake
To watch the ripples spread
To symbolize the vastness of existence
When driven by persistence
Led by the light while most
Are led by the night
Use insight to fight for the
Right to right the wrongs
And fight for the right to write the songs
That breath life into the mic
So all y'all can sing along
I try to open minds
With ever scripted sentence
I take over the game of Life and
Y'all can keep ridin' the benches

Do what you gotta do
Use what you gotta use just be your own man
Everything else is optional
Fool who you gotta fool
Move what you gotta move
Just be your own man
Everything else is optional

It's a hard life
So I stay away from dog fights
With the animals that hang out all night
That don't really give a fuck if you alright
Cause to them, your life is a small price
Fast cars open scars from bar fights
Turn around and do the
Same thing tomorrow night
Hidin' they face from the rays of dawn light
Try as they might they can't
Escape from God's sight
Cause God's sight runs free without harness
Illuminating the way and total darkness
From the rich and high rise apartments
To the poor that's stuck in housing projects
Even though I hate it
The hardship I face keeps my notes updated
I'm stimulated by hatred
Plus the cracked pavement reminds me
That escape is near you just gotta find it

Do what you gotta do
Use what you gotta use just be your own man
Everything else is optional
Fool who you gotta fool
Move what you gotta move
Just be your own man
Everything else is optional
