The Strive

Get in the zone of positivity, not negativity 'Cause we gotta strive for longevity

I gotta get myself together, see you try with rhymes I stop the red signs and I move with the times of the spectacle Asked the man to change the day 'cause I can't pull no aces Been in different places Ain't no motion slower than this Houston life I'm knowin' The haters squeeze [?] just to try to get it goin' People thinkin' that it be the last time So I write every rhyme like it be the last one Expectations, Dekay workin' in a corporation Goin' with the [?] or 10 boards, breaks, wheels And dad's takin' this time for me to make my own check So facts to drop like hieroglyphic Gotta get you open, I wanna plant the seeds So it's all about the dough if you didn't know Double jeopardy at the same time And niggas got pride so we gotta keep it live We strive, we strive

I've had enough, I've had enough Shit don't seem to be addin' up And I say you reap what you sow get I figured that the harder that I work I got paid less The locomotion on the crazy moves I'm makin' Try to break the chain While these stupid niggas waitin' for contracts And [?] gotta be a go-getter, I know better I used to be a sittin' waiter but time waits for none Jon Schnepp livin' like a king in the woods over yonder On the Beltway, walkin' ride to the skyline Trippin' over city lines in Texas And people livin' under overpasses to stare But I gotta keep strivin' for me 'Cause in this world ain't a damn thing for free And everywhere we go we see the same thing And everyone we know need to take the blame We got to strive
