Lyrics Clean up Your Room - Akira the Don

Clean up Your Room

You gotta be oriented towards something
Because otherwise you’re disoriented you just spin around in circles and then
you suffer
And so do people around you
It’s not a good solution
Orient yourself towards something
You have to figure out what it is
What will work for you
What goal
Would justify the suffering of your life
Start trying to piece that together, you’re going to get better at it
Start trying to piece that together, you’re going to get better at it
But it’s a personal process so you need a prsonal place to stand because
othrwise you’re going to be handed a place to stand on a plate
And it may be one that makes you a puppet
Of someone else’s goals (Yeah)
So, I would say what are the processes?
Well, I think, what I’ve recommended to people is
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Then you’ll know what to do next
See if you can stop saying things you know to be lies
That’s not the same as telling the truth
You don’t get to do that to begin with because you’re not good enough at it to
even attempt it in some sense
But everyone can stop saying things they know to be falsehoods
Stop saying things that violate your conscious
Here’s another idea
Stop saying and doing things that make you feel weak
All you have to do is pay attention to that
Some things you do will make you feel disintegrated
It’s a physiological sensation
Some things improve your integrity and some things disintegrate you
The things that disintegrate you, you often do to impress other people (Yeah)
You’re escaping what you know to be your moral obligation
And your moral obligation stems naturally from your aims
And if you don’t have an aim, well, then
You’re aimless
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Then you’ll know what to do next
I had a girl come up to me last night
She said;
I started cleaning up my room
And it completely changed my life
She said your room is an externalization of your mind
And that’s right, that’s exactly true
To the degree that you’re in your room;
the room is you
So straighten up what you can straighten up and quit saying things that make
you feel weak
And then
Then you’ll know what to do next (Yes)
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Clean up your room
Then you’ll know what to do next
It’s like, hey, man, you have a room
Most people throughout human history have not had a room
You have a room
Well, my room is a hell hole
It’s like, well, then you’re a denizen of hell inhabiting it, you should do
something about that
Well, what?
Well put it in minimal order
Get your clothes together 'cause you have to wear those, people are looking at
your clothes
What clothes should you be wearing?
Not the clothes of a total wretched loser, how about that?
(Yes)
What about your bed?
Well is it comfortable?
Do you make it in the morning?
So it looks like half civilized
Can you sleep there?
It’s like, is there junk everywhere, so you just hate your life when you walk
into your room
It’s like clean the damn thing up, see if you can do it
Order your drawers, learn to fold your clothes, put it in minimal order
And then, man, you can get spectacular and you said put a plant in there
It’s like, maybe I could make it beautiful
