about
Just trying to live comfortable...
lyrics
(Intro)
“A comfortable positions what I’m after
All the while I’m preparing’ myself to meet the master”
(Mane Rok)
Got troubles with subtle struggles like every individual
Student of LIFE trying’ to understand its principles
Doing’ it right? Well that seems to be a give and go
Cynical from living’ in a limbo indigo
Feeling’ blue, trying’ to keep this reddish hot (hot)
Better not (not), get lost under heavens watch
Hunt for green (green), cop a better spot (spot)
Just for seeds (seeds) can’t pretend we’re not (not)
Using’ ends to justify means of survival
Main goals to make dough, sure I know
At first it sounds shallow on the surface (but)
Deep pockets wanted for a purpose
To provide a life mejor than my parents did
Got to get right while being’ prepared to give
My heir, my kid my all, before my time expires
And I find out first hand if there’s a divine sire
(Chorus)
Got, action to capture
“A comfortable positions what I’m after”
What I’m after-after
(Tense)
“There will be a new chapter”
Got action to capture
“All the while I’m preparing myself to meet the master”
And you know, we just trying’ to live comfortable
We just trying to have something to show!
(InkLine)
And I know it can't always all be wonderful
I just want to breathe easy and be comfortable
But I can't help it; at times I got to wonder though
If I'm ever going to pull myself up out this undertow
(I don't know)
Come up fast (up fast), go under slow (slow)
With no control of this life that I've come to know (know)
It won't last (won't last), just come and go (go)
Feet on the ground, weighed down by a ton of hope
It's overbearin’, no comparin’ the feelin’
By knowin’ where, I dare to go there and be willin’
I'm so aware and I don't care if you feel it
Hate me now, I'll break it down, I'm prepared to rebuild it
May not be living' in a cozy position
But so you know me just listen, living’s my only mission
Master the art of life's beautiful disaster
If it don't happen over night, just do it faster
(Chorus)
(Geologic)
Yo-I went to college to fulfill my familial task
To be the first in my lineage to get that bachelors degree
Immersed in the past study history diligently
Cursed my professors for never believing in me
I left, five credits left in my audit
Told moms and pops I would go back-I, I promise
But the stage kept calling’, pages that I authored offered solace
Compared to the scholars at Harvard I was a failure
Came next quarter didn’t bother to register
Instead hit the studio to channel the pressure to
Fuck my academic career and a sacrifice
Had my wife shedding’ them tears
She said “Fuck the world all them doubters are wrong,
And even if you prove them right, Imma catch you if you fall.
So you better go hard if you are what you say that you are-
Word to blue, you already a star!
(Chorus)
