Phoniks - Everyman lyrics

[Produced by: Phoniks] [Intro] Conversations with my father I just gotta work harder sh** I just gotta work smarter Open your eyes never let loose with your pride Take your time put God first instead of waiting in line And regrettably I've neglected his presence by the time he realize [Scratched Hook] You realize that it's It's every man for they self [Verse 1] He say you can't depend on tomorrow or rely on today Make sure what you living for ain't worth dying in vain I got a lot of love on my mind I've been trying to find balance in my thoughts Trying to finesse the scale to influence the position that I'm in Try not to stray yourself too far and get lost I'm rolling up another one Because that last L really ain't do nothing but remind me of my last L We all takers sometimes but it's been taking some time For me to bounce back from my back being smacked Between a rock and a hard place it's what you make it The hard times never last sometimes you gotta give sometime you gotta take it Nothing in the way of the moves I'm potentially making That even goes to my mistakes I see my face reflecting right in front of me talking to myself Facing my problems never run I put my cleats up on a shelf Slowly finding peace with myself Piecing together everything all I can do is hope that it stay Cause you know how things get changed by the day Hopin' that God brings some positive change to my way I'm positive I can change the frame in the way that they view us Show em it's more than music my words can recruit the clueless Show em how we do this It ain't no [?] work as hard as you dreamin' Watch for this next in between the route that you takin' My wisdom came from all the mistakes I've been makin' I was 17 and just graduated Second week of the summer still getting congratulated I was just happy that I wasn't doing no calculating It feels like that's what my life had really activated I was active with my n***a Martin Was going hard hitting every open mic in the hopes to become better artists But what we couldn't farther from where we thought we was headed Sometimes your pride can get in the way of your lessons The more I grew the more we grew apart I was selfless I couldn't see he was selfish from the start That's what I get for thinking with my heart Instead of using that in my mind At the same time that's when I realized That it's every man for they self That's when I understand every man needs some help [Hook] [Outro] Just say a prayer light a sweet then repeat Just say a prayer light a sweet then repeat Just say a prayer light a sweet then repeat Seeing is believing, believing is seeing without your eyes The key is to open your mind It's young Anti
