XV, Talib Kweli - Reset Button lyrics

I could have been that guy, that'll drive
5 hours out to TX just to get some work
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna be next
Out there doing dirt
Now my momma need a Kleenex
Could have been me, I hit the reset
Still, the meals from a
Deal leave me appealed
Out for Will Smith money that I
Can leave in my will
My nigga Kareem in jail
I hope he get his appeals
That's a reset button for real and I'm still
Seeing the glass half full, they notice it
Eviction notices
Soon as I put my two week notice in
My boss working like
"I hope that you blow up then"
If not I hit the reset buttongo again
Scared of your goals
Cause what if you don't achieve it
So college is where you go
But one day you got to leave it
The Grim Reapers feeling, one day
You're going to meet it
So just live everyday like that day
You're going to see it
Me and this dude I knew well
Skipping school, trying to be cool
Two losers so we're rolling up two l's
Never got on board to our
Dreams going into full sail
So you know what to do well

Just hit the reset button
Hit the reset button
Just hit the reset button
Hit the reset button

My rhymes make you pay
Attention like you're Ritalin
There's a thin line between a
Savage and a gentleman
I never tire, hit the road like a Michelin
And if I stop, then I begin again
Making a profit because I'm
Cutting out the middleman
I'm giving him a ticket because
He's loitering and littering
He got the game messed up
All twisted and contorted
So it's more important who you consider fam
I used to want a deal
But now I want my freedom
These industry motherfuckers
I don't fucking need 'em
Matter of fact, they need me
The problem with their business model deeper
Than the scratches on your CD
I see these rappers still sleeping
I call them Ambien consider me a beast
The epitome of a champion
This the World Series i'm Mr october
I hit the reset button and I start over

Just hit the reset button
Hit the reset button
Just hit the reset button
Hit the reset button

Ex-girl tripping
Next girl wishing that she could do
Everything that my ex-girl didn't
My next girl trying to tell
My next ex something
They both got that reset button
The first taste of fame
I splurged on a chain, like a 1
000 DVDs and a car in my name
A bunch of friends, a bunch of haters
It all is the same
Once I watch it all gonever saw when it came
Dang but, I don't wanna get into that
Thinking back to my crew when
I first started spitting raps
Drugs put us up and real stuff
I wish it didn't black
Reset and let me get it back
My son growing up
Seeing him calling me daddy
Through all the opposition I can
Still look at him proudly
And tell him all the things
I wouldn't be without him
Brought those sunny days out me when
They swore it would be cloudy
Can't wait to tell him stories about
Me and his mother and how I'd only reset to
Get his twin brother
What would he have to like? I wonder
But live's good, I never want another
And never hit the reset button

Just hit the reset button
Hit the reset button
Just hit the reset button
Hit the reset button
