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 Nanananananananana Nanananananana Nanananananananana Nanananananana 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 Nanananananananana Nanananananana Nanananananananana Nanananananana 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 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.
