Lyrics Lesson Learned - Snak the Ripper

Lesson Learned

You can only go so long runnin wild in the street
Stay grounded if you’re flyin by the edge of your seat
Bring something to the table if you’re trying to eat
The simple minded only hating when your style is unique
They see you slippin and they smiling discreet
Try to take your place but couldn’t walk a mile in your feet
Gotta make your own decisions don’t rely on beliefs
Of anybody else watch out for liars and thiefs
Life is a just a test and it’ll bless you if you’re patient
Before you make a choice you should assess the situation
Be careful what you thinking, try your best at meditation
Cause the thoughts inside your brain will manifest into creation
Sometimes it’s all a matter of just clearin your head
All the worries that you have just disappear in the end
Might be hard to understand now, but fear is your friend
Embrace the person staring at you in the mirror again
They say recognition is free but Respect is earned
As long you’re able to breath you should be less concerned
Build a bridge for yourself and leave the rest to burn
Cause every mistake that you makin is a lesson learned, x2
You Gotta think before you speak, be selective with your words
It’s easier to learn if you just listen and observe
You can see the bigger picture if your vision isn’t blurred
Work harder than the rest and get the life that you deserve
Believe half of what you see, and none of what you heard
Don’t get your hopes up over nothing nothing is for sure
Hard to see the brighter side of shit coming from the dirt
Always gotta know your worth if they fuckin with your work
Gotta walk your own path don’t roll with the pack
Take a deep breath when shits tough, don’t overreact
And all that self-inflicted doubt’ll only hold you back
Don’t expect so much, this world don’t owe you jack
They say trust takes time, and patience is a virtue
But if you let em get too close they’re probably gonna hurt you
Don’t get yourself stuck like a rock in a hard place
Cause even on them hard days, you gotta keep your guard raised
They say recognition is free but Respect is earned
As long you’re able to breath you should be less concerned
Build a bridge for yourself and leave the rest to burn
Cause every mistake that you making is a lesson learned
