Priorities


Everyone want they attention,

I want attention it’s true but that don’t mean that I sweat it

Want to be cool, get it on, got some leverage, yea gimme a mention

but I stand by, on call, I’m a 911 plan, head it

 

I’ve saved a friend struggling with mortality

Some nights he just scares the shit out of me

I’m concerned but this stuff is too tiring

That’s why I pray, cause in this life there’s more to see than what you see

 

There’s another carrying more weight than she or anyone ever needs

Working bar shifts whenever her friend is in need

Her friend was in need but she’s moved on to better things

She misses her, I feel for her, may she Rest In Peace

 

I’ll admit I’ve got it more easily

That don’t mean life comes formidably

They say experience teaches, I need more of it

I guess that’s why I’m on fly, rep Hawaii
