Running With Scissors

[Verse 1] Protect your jimmy, keep it fresh Anything is everything and more is less It's all sight sounds smell taste and felts Knuckle up and buckle up your safety belt Lift with your legs, speak with your mind See the bigger screen, read between the lines Brush your teeth, squash the beef Judge the tree by both sides of the leaf Save your soul, spend your money Laugh at its jokes and pretend they're funny Talk about your goals and hide your wants Give them something they can hold and get a better response Believe in karma, truth and honor Respect the youth and understand the drama Think about your move before you make it And see the motive for the info and advice before you take it [Chorus] Traffic lights and stops signs Cops and crimes, top of the line I lost my mind, I found my feet Look over my shoulder before I cross the street [Verse 2] Dead zone, when in Rome I'm begging for attention to be left alone Headphones in flesh tones And little Slug was having trouble trying to get home Write a song, write a million songs But they all the same song it's like one long song Fight the wrong and make them sing along Continue to consume until the hungers gone Speak your peace and move on, move on I need to buy time but first I got to find the coupon When I climb the mountain I'm gonna teach I promise But for now you can reach me at the office [Verse 3] Get a job, catch a buzz, learn something, cook dinner Find a mate and Copulate, but try to pick a winner Go to school, teach something, be a voice, paint a picture Turn the TV off man you don't need a babysitter Read a book, write a book, plot a move Take over, watch for motorcycle Calm down be a donor Nine out of ten doctors prefer their secretaries Because they're sick of going home and going down on what they married Do your homework, solve the problem, celebrate Tip the bartender, breath and meditate Oversleep wake up late, push snooze take a bath When you finish with your drink they let you keep the glass Skip class, jump curbs, walk the dog Run slow, leap fates, stand tall Sit still, take control Yo you throw like a girl and you hate the world And you lost all your nuts trying to chase a squirrel Some of these cats don't know to meow I try to open my eyes to take a look at me now Alphabetize the records that sit on the shelf I think you need some advice on how to think for self Ayo they want the light, but they don't want the light They act like they don't know wrong from right They say they want the truth, but they have the truth They act like they forgot how to move Dead [Outro] I ain't trying to wait for no one else to help I think you need some advice on how to think for self I said ain't trying to wait for no one else to help I think you need some advice on how to think for self I said ain't trying to wait for no one else to help I think you need some advice on how to think for self I ain't trying to wait for no one else to help I think you need some advice on how to think for self
