3 a.m it came to soon I was having a fight with myself in my living room In disbelief I lost to me So I grabbed my pillow and I went to sleep And in my dreams it occurred to me That I would stay up late to vindicate my lack of being Anything that I was trying to be But I knew that everything's okay I was playing one Friday night Things were gong right I forgot my lines and had to freestyle what I didn't write I could look out and see the people I know They were anticipating just to hear me flow and I Ran out of my words to say So I decided to give it my best for that day and I Looked up in a very special way And knew that everything's okay Chorus: Cause you gotta get up and get the dirt off your shoulder Wake up and wipe that sleep from your eye So you won't waste away your life Break off from the things that hold you Grab your stuff and head right through the door And get ready for so much more Board to death so I'd write a line And my asinine rhymes helped to pass the time by I never knew that I had wasted a die Till I glanced at the paper there's still nothing on the page So I took the time just to gather my thoughts I would rehears it for a minute just to spit back at ya'll Anything that's on the top of my head My mind is cluttered When I rap I stutter So I will just sing instead Chorus: Bridge: If you're bored with the time you're living in Make a change so you won't have a could have been life Instead of everyday just trying to get by Shake it off and move on Everyday is a new song to sing To sing Chorus
