You need to loosen up and live a little And if you got kids let them know how you feelin For your own sake give a little Oh, you don't want to hear that, you busy tryina stack and keep them from the Jones's is taking advantage of your own The realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe when It's something wrong and we desire so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous I know time seems right, and the problems seem endless But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together And if you feel you're out of the game then you need to get back in it Cause nothing worse than a quitter you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
