lyrics

verse 1
what's hap'ning, feeling fantastic,
still at this, picture an addict, it gets
drastic, scratching, dribbling just a tad bit
heart, lungs pump double time can't relax it ‘cause
have it i gotta, back in habit who wanna
intervene with the fiend get hand slapped with a swatter
everybody got a vice, i might have a couple
but rapping is that only high to never give me trouble
just cold sweat shivering, Sahara dry skin and mouth
nausea, insomnia, can’t live without
never in a drought, or having to reach far
needle drop tracks mesh looking is each arm
come out the jacket pull the sleeve off, clean off
lay upon the table find a cut of that lean raw
then long pull hit, ‘til I’m in a tug of war of wits
every day I thank the Lord for this, ‘cause listen

chorus
nothing’s a given while you’re living
got something giving you joy you better grip it
here today, gone today; change in a minute
better live it up, ‘cause the gittin’ is good ‘til it isn’t
(repeat)

verse 2
back when i thought Puff was the hip-hop anti-Christ
i was rhyming in private deprived of any life
flash to today, i’m still scribbling on the page
but bumping Dirty Money 'fore i jump upon stage
former Jansporter keep it real lobbyist
sported XXXL’s where two of me could probably fit
and used to clown the club dudes in smediums
while today true to fit gear's what you’ll see me in
comfortable old head in the cut, go nothing but
love for these youngins, tell 'em go 'head live it up!
while you’re still a pup and milk ain’t all spoiled
‘cause earth keeps turning it ain’t gon’ pause for you
so style that colorful tight gear, just don’t be surprised
if you clown it in five years, when you’re
20 something and already sounding old and crotchety
judging kids who swag even more obnoxiously, word

chorus

verse 3
friday evening got paid exceedingly
i'm in grave need of a change of scenery
worked another monotonous week for the end of it
won’t be spending it in the crib, instead the 
hermetic homebody will apparently be partying
whether he wanna or not, already got the 
bully calls from the brothers applying the peer pressure 
so shower the flesh and throw on some gear fresher
we making videos, pics looking model-esque
Dame Diddy flow, spin holding bottle necks
it's all in jest though, never taking liquor sips
Ace standing on the couch, Rick James niggerish
kick stains visible on white pleather couches
step ‘til I’m dripping sweat, light sweater dowsed with
seeking release from what chronically ills, i just
came to have a good time party and chill, for real

chorus
