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

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

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

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

Gotta get in the zone of positivity
'Cause positively I wanna live with me
The cave 'round my site can take you higher than the Himalayas
Southern players from Southwest
To Acres Shakers couldn't fade us
And I told your ass one time and now I gotta tell your ass again
You ain't gon' win 40 demos and flows I demonstrate
But what you hear is what you get
And niggas won't buy your shit
But yo, I got things to do and things to prove
Extra pressure people on the corner
Expectin' Kay to be the new thang
A quarterback and a new scheme of things
Example be the logo or where your life you gotta follow
In the bio, life's full of freakin' trials and tribulations
This life I live, sometimes I feel I didn't have a lot to give
But I done lived the life for 20 some odd years
My brother's restin' under daffodils
That's why we strive
We got to strive, let's do the strive

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