Gifts (Vinyl) (feat. Derek Johnson)

She sits in the fifth row, about the fourth seat back

So peculiar compared to the rest of the class

You deem yourself much better than she

But life's got a way of bringing you back to reality

Your life's just like a vinyl

It rotates

Your life's just like a vinyl

It circulates

Your life's just like a vinyl

What goes around

Your life's just like a vinyl

Comes back around

Mental defects you know that she has

But when she opens her mouth, you continually laugh

Constantly talking about her clothes and the way she wears her hair

But the tables can turn around, and you won't be prepared

Your life's just like a vinyl

It rotates

Your life's just like a vinyl

It circulates

Your life's just like a vinyl

What goes around

Your life's just like a vinyl

Comes back around

There's nothing wrong with having finer things and expertise

But realize these things are blessing, not weaponry

Whether it's talents, money, or intelligence

It's essential you know the way to use them isn't with arrogance

Looking down on people as you assume this and assume that

Why not just talk to them, find common ground, and get the facts

You're high on your throne, nose in the air as commoners extend hellos

This message isn't just for kids; we all need to be humbled

What

Your life's just like a vinyl

It rotates

Your life's just like a vinyl

It circulates

Your life's just like a vinyl

What goes around

Your life's just like a vinyl

Comes back around

The more blessed you are, the more humble you should be

So whatever your gifts are, use them with humility

A man's gift makes room for him

So there's no need for arrogance

There's no need to tear anybody down

There's no need for the attitude of superiority

Because the truth is we're all born with an expiration date

And the gifts can't go with you when that day comes

Yes, people will remember you gifts

But they'll remember your character even more
