See the bigger screen, read between the lines
Brush your teeth, squash the beef
Judge the tree by both sides of the leaf
Save your soul, spend your money
Laugh at it's jokes and pretend they're funny
Talk about your goals and hide your wants
Give them something they can hold and get a better response
Beleive in karma, truth and honor
Respect the youth and understand the drama
Think about your move before you make it
And see the motive for the info and advice before you take it
Traffic lights and stops signsCops and crimes,
Top of the lineI lost my mind, I found my feet
Look over my shoulder before I cross the street
Dead zone when i roamI'm begging for attention to be left alone
Headphones and flesh tones
And little Slugo's having trouble trying to get home
Write a song, write a million songs
But they're all the same song it's like one long song
Fight the wrong and make them sing along and
Continue to consume until the hunger's gone
Speak your peace and move on, move on
I need to buy time but first I got to find the coupon
When I climb the mountain i'm gonna teach I promise
But for now you can reach me at the office
Get a job, catch a buzz, learn something, cook dinner,
Find a mate and populate, but try to pick a winner,
Go to school, teach something, be a voice, paint a picture,
Turn the TV off man you don't need a babysitter,
Read a book, write a book, plot a move,
Take over, watch for motorcycles
Calm down, be a doner
Nine out of ten doctors preffer their secretaries
Because they're sick of going home and going down on what they married
Do your homework, solve the problem, celebrate
Tip the bartender, breath and meditate
Oversleep wake up late, push snooze take a bath
When you finish with your drink they let you keep the glass
Skip class, jump curbs, walk the dog
Run slow, leap fates, stand tall Sit still, take control
Yo, you throw like a girlAnd you hate the world
And you lost all your nuts trying to chase a squirrel
But some of these kats don't know to meow
I try to open my eyes to take a look at me now
Alphabitize the records that sit on the shelf
I think you need some advice on how to think for self
Aiyo they want the light, but they don't want the light
They act like they don't know wrong from right
They say they want the truth, but they have the truth
They act like they forgot how to move
DeadI ain't trying to wait for no one else to help
I think you need some advice on how to think for
