Lyrics
Like something Commonly said, “the present is a gift”,
So why are all our minds just steering adrift?
Why we can’t value, all the things we have,
I’m here to persuade, like the gift of gab, (so)
Listen up, be a little thankful,
Life doesn’t revolve around ya money and ya bankroll,
No, there’s a lot more to it,
It’s subject to change, life is way too fluid,
Take advantage of ya time, don’t let it waste,
Don’t sit and wait, make your own better days,
If you think you got it bad, you just full of yaself,
Cause you don’t know the true definition of wealth,
Wealth is family, wealth is having a dream,
Wealth is courage, wealth is having esteem,
Wealth is knowledge, wealth is friends,
Wealth is college, wealth never ends,
Remember how you got here, remember how you living,
Just remember your parents, and remember how they’re giving,
They provided you with life, and put the clothes on ya back,
So start showing them respect, and start closing the gap,
Besides composing a rap, I’m just speaking my mind,
Reveal what people overlook, but are seeking to find,
The truth, so sneaky and blind, that it’s often forgotten,
People losing motivation, slowly soften, start rotting,
Losing grasp of what’s real, taking everything for granted,
Thinking ‘its me against the world’, so the world must be so slanted,
But you know its not, you have ya family and your friends,
Who will stick with you forever, unlike fashion and poor tends,
Don’t forget about the people, who act older than they are,
But “ignorance is bliss,” just like chasing the stars,
Take a look at your scars, and remember how you got here,
Through the help of other people, and the things you got near,
Always think before you act, since each cause has effect,
Be appreciative, and show your respect,
Cause the truth is, we don’t need a band of,
People who will abuse, food, water, and love,
Stuffing and filling their mouths, when there’s suffering children,
Who got it tough, a lot tougher than villains,
I see the smartest of people, doing stupidest things,
Who waste away all their talent, to do drugs and to drink,
Could lose it all in a blink, but they don’t really care,
They have the wrong mentality, thinking life has a spare,
Must respect the hands of time, and individuality,
Don’t imitate other people, thinking who shall I be?,
Be yourself, be unique, but always keep in mind,
That you lucky, just to be alive…..
