 Yo  I'mma call it like I see it
 Crave it  but don't need it
 Proceed it to dig into these roots deep seeded
 And indeed is one of life most ironic infections
 I'm born with it  no protection in this game so long
 I think I'm immune to rejection
 Search for perfection  desperation starts to set in
 Settling for something less, it don't mean I'm worthless
 Just don't want to deal with the stress
 Of in general pursuit of happiness
 Whole goal right now is for you to react to this
 That's why, spill my guts, hopes you catch my drift
 I got a gift rapped in words designed to uplift
 My one true love I'm dedicated to this
 Would you give it up, never go out with swinging fists
 I can't lose you disrespect, or abuse you
 I'mma stand alone and battle any crew that choose to use you in vain
 Pimpin' ain't the game, the money or the fame
 Back up in it, I will always be your man
 We'll grow together even when these time will change
 [Odario]
 Word, word, word
 We got to rise above, what you think of
 Push come to shove, everyman wan piece of
 R-E-S, P-E-C-T
 The plan is to be where you can never find me
 Rhyme MC, travel with the blind
 The one refined, I see the trouble in all mankind
 Practice mine, watch what I'm fiddling
 I don't rhyme fo the sake of riddling
 Black truck, you play and get stuck
 Press your luck and your goooone
 I lost my job today, because I was too busy to work for the man
 Had other plans, got to give my life a stand
 Like Sly and the Family Stone, you everyday people got to leave me alone
 I'm in my zone making home for my soul, untold
 Make believe that I'm in control
 Slow, that's the way that the walk go
 No, chance to pull in the pay so
 So, we lay in the rock and just lay low, low

 CHORUS [Odario] {Spitz}
 [Everyday is the same thing, we got to maintain]
 {Don't be slipping out the mindframe}
 [Find some way, ease the pain
 It ain't easy]
 {I just do my thing, yo}
 [Everyday is the same thing, we got to maintain]
 {Don't be slipping out the mindframe}
 [Find some way, ease the pain
 It ain't easy]
 {I just do my thing}
 [It ain't easy]

 [Spitz]
 So what's my purpose to work this minimum wage?
 Or to spurt this, energy live on the stage?
 I'm not worthless, I'm done serving, keep your spare change
 My job's to capture all minds within vocal range
 And keep you open, open for the best expect the worst
 Emmerson(?), a soul in the fluids like immerse
 But reverse, because I wouldn't have it any other way
 I'm so hip hop, I'll freestyle my resume
 And initially said I wouldn't amount to much
 The only trait I have is this mic I clutch
 You get touched if you try to break the band between us
 Us, we partners and we built o ntrust
 When I bust, competitors know they dust
 Envious, 'cause we can make a crowd combust
 And a the same time maintain underground status
 And still be the baddest when we shoot the gift
 Whether we headlining or opening isht
 [Odario]
 Mad crazy, mad crazy
 Mad crazy days up in a crazy world
 Find your way, bring the truth untold
 We getting lazy, and that's no lie
 People tell me all I have to do is try
 Well, these day trying ain't getting me by
 I'm the type of guy to make the well run dry
 And defeat the find, it will be you and I
 We get together and we truning up the stereo
 Coolin' out, we play a little domino
 In a one love, one life scenario
 So don't front, yo you can't see Odario
 I take it easy when the worse try to hurt me
 Tell the brother please, he don't know my steez
 Ain't easy when we try to make these dreams
 Picking upon these we going overseas (overseas echos)
 For y'all that want see the world, got my napsack pack
 Yo I got your back, no matter where we at we making room at the top

 CHORUS
