I don't read, yeah, I just guess

As the world turns

Don't bother me with your messs

I'm trying to do my best

Get my head up out the stress

When the money turns the world

Your lovin' turns to less

I learn by mistakes

Most of it is yours and

I'm done living life as a criminal

I thought I'd die young just to please the old

Now I teach the young, I'm victorial

I'd rather go on,

Go up and down

Turn myself all around

Then to stay down

I'd rather go on,

Go up and down

Turn myself all around

Then to stay down

The war in me makes a warrior

Like a pitbull gettin' with a terrior

I'm better off in North Korea

Yeah, droppin' from a barrel of a carrier

Coz I got enough to be more

It's hard enough to get more

I shut the door on everything

Just to let my head blow

Coz I got enough to be more

It's hard enough to get more

I shut the door on everything

Just to let my head blow

I'd rather go on,

Go up and down

Turn myself all around

Then to stay down

Picture this, a dull grey street in the train

Neon signs gonna shine though

Shorty you gonna shine though

Come up on ya treasure trove

Like the sun explode

Check up in the paper

In the mirror for ya horoscope

Walking on a tightrope

Go for something, I don't even know

Where to get it from

Sending out a signal

Smoke from a gun blow

As I knock off knock off

Things that I don't want.
