| I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
|
| I don’t even want to
|
| It’s how it has to be, I keep saying that
|
| It’s what it is right now, okay?
|
| Busy is my best friend (best friend)
|
| Some people asking me exactly what that meant
|
| I tell them, busy is my best friend
|
| I didn’t plan it though, it’s just the way it went
|
| I spend my nights spent, and my days on edge
|
| Anxious, can’t remember my last night in the bed
|
| Couch hopping, never said I was without options
|
| Just that I’m locked in a perpetual round robin
|
| More than my own home, I’m at the compound
|
| More often in my mom’s house or my car’s house
|
| On route, more than on location
|
| Loco days spent in so many stations
|
| Radio, bus, train, straining to sustain
|
| Save money, save faces, to save me from much pain
|
| Trying to gain work with something I enjoy doing
|
| Pace myself, but really keep the ball moving
|
| We build it so grind mode is reality
|
| A state of mind, an elementality
|
| You say you want it o.k., well how badly
|
| I am gonna be honest, it’s not a phase or fad to me
|
| Busy is as busy does |
| That’s why my schedule was plentiful and filling up
|
| That’s why my session are incredible and ill as fuck
|
| That’s why my family and friends don’t see me as much
|
| «Peace» «Peace» «What's up?» |
| «How you been?» |
| «Staying busy you know.»
|
| «Trying to stay sane, trying to make a living, you know? |
| «I am away to the lab just ask my grizzly
|
| After that it’s off to the grizzly to get busy
|
| Face buried in the screen, to keep my mind off thoughts I heard in them jeans
|
| It’s genuine at least
|
| And my eyes are sore
|
| Cause it’s 6 am
|
| I’ve been sitting there since the night before
|
| Answer e-mails, write the law
|
| Searching for the band called «Fuels» in the iTunes store
|
| Life’s short, time to pore it all in
|
| Geronimo, with my soul
|
| Rocker can sing it
|
| My people facing hardships, trying to make deposits
|
| Working day to day, to pay the rent, and pay the mortgage
|
| One check away from being on the street
|
| And my peeps were there one check ago, it’s deep
|
| When that check took a rain check
|
| You in the rain drenched
|
| Waiting for a bed, to get next to some heat |
| My peeps that got seized, try to raise them right
|
| And at the same time, find your own place in life
|
| Working non-stop, day and night
|
| To accomplish what you constantly say you might
|
| For my people that returned to school
|
| No loans, working too
|
| No family, and no trust fund to turn to
|
| Independent, more strength than some could even fathom
|
| Balancing necessities and passion
|
| When they get so bad and no one has a hand to lend
|
| It seems busy is your best friend
|
| When you try to see a vision
|
| Do it to the fullest extent
|
| And busy is your best friend
|
| When you hoping what ever you going through will just end
|
| Busy is your best friend
|
| When you don’t want to think no more
|
| When you hurting so bad it’s in your crawl
|
| But it would hurt even more if you stop, even for a second
|
| Busy is your best friend |
