about

This is that taking stock track.

lyrics

It’s been a while since you’ve heard a sappy song from me
Cause life, it has a way of spinning so constantly


It sounds corny, but it’s easy to take you for granted
Cause life is busy and we’re stuck in all the modes of traffic
Every now and then, I pause in shock and take stock
Look at where we are within this world, a great plot
Never figured that it would have happened this way
Seems I don’t know the future and I’m happy to say
That I don’t have the skills to predict it all
Cause it’s unfolding better than I ever could call
Sure there are days I wish that would pass by faster
But there’s no abra cadabra just a soulful rapper
Not golden stature, I’m holding my fam
And my fam includes friends so you know we’ll advance
This is me being grateful mixed with disbelief
And I hold it down for mine when I rip this beat
My pen jumped from my hand then it kissed the sheet
The note pad so glad for that it lifted peeps

It’s been a while since you’ve heard a sappy song from me
Cause life, it has a way of spinning so constantly

If you don’t take the time to raise the people around you
Then what exactly does your life amount to?
I want people to feel fulfilled, for real it’s ill
Want Covid gone I meet for meals and chill
Cause things have changed in these days, we’re isolated
Beyond work and home, I’m feeling mighty gated
I’m trying to watch out for me and mine, variants
Two sons, their beautiful mom, there it is
Support my peeps in their endeavors and we’ll all shine
No trying to be what are not, believe it, all times
Let the tall tales duck between the legs and go
Cause I’ve had up to the here with the desperate droves
Who is it we seek approval from for what we do
Fitting a mold they’re ready to sell us, that’s a sucker move
They bleed us dry, we smile and believe it is fine
Now we’re just another victim at the scene of crimes
