Life Lessons 3 (feat. Cody Manson)

Why is it we can only understand life When we look at it backwards Time marches onwards We focus on what matters Cuz life's a novel and novels are made up by chapters But theres no script Its impossible to see the bad actors So to cope with the factors We've become masters of laughter In the wake of tragedy and certain disaster Enlightenment is what we after Breaking the chains and escaping our masters We said we taught you life lessons When I we did was tell you how it really is If I could go back to a lad alls I'd tell myself is this Be better man today then you where yesterday But most importantnly kid Is to make sure make time to always go out there and live Theres some dark times ahead but the good make up for it Pale Horse will be a bust but DRS they fucking with You should see how far I've come just after you was gonna quit We getting lost in the sands of time Trying to beat the clock Don't waste no time We ain't never had shit so we on our grind Yeah life's a bitch but we still get by We getting lost in the sands of time Trying to beat the clock don't waste no time We ain't never had shit so we on our grind Don't lost yourself and don't lose your mind There is no gain without the pain I'm looking in the rearview Im trying to reclaim the man of the past I've been through what I've been through And now I'm up here on this stage I'm giving you what I give you Its stories of my life and everything that I have been through The heartache the pain The come up the gain I'm going from a peasant to becoming a fucking king An original kid from Akron if you really know what I mean Rolling through this solar system so fresh and so clean But still considered an Outkast and I'm doing what I got to do Im standing on my own two right here in front of you With this microphone man I'm trying to reach and teach Do a little better then I did yesterday please I wanna see it believe it I know it can be A little better way it start inside of me I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I laugh Sitting on my porch reminiscing on what I have We getting lost in the sands of time Trying to beat the clock Don't waste no time We ain't never had shit so we on our grind Yeah life's a bitch but we still get by We getting lost in the sands of time Trying to beat the clock don't waste no time We ain't never had shit so we on our grind Don't lost yourself and don't lose your mind I've learned a lot of lessons from mistakes that I've made Ive never been a follower drive on the path that I pave I ain't thinking about the past fuck back in the day We just trying to get paid cuz its cash that we crave The root of all evil will lead you to lucrative people But your headed for destruction if your energies evil I look us as equals don't put nobody above you I told you that I loved you You responded back with fuck you So tell where you'll go when you have nowhere to run to Don't ever sell you soul you don't have nobody but you Don't let them try to trip you off your spot they ain't really hard They ain't never fought the case and couldn't beat the charge They ain't never stepped foot on no prison yard I've been through hell and back homie you can really see the scars When you see me in the streets you should be alarmed But next time you see me your gonna see me in the stars We getting lost in the sands of time Trying to beat the clock Don't waste no time We ain't never had shit so we on our grind Yeah life's a bitch but we still get by We getting lost in the sands of time Trying to beat the clock don't waste no time We ain't never had shit so we on our grind Don't lost yourself and don't lose your mind
