| Ahh looking out my window at the world I see
|
| A whole bunch of problems looking back of me
|
| And I’m not one to get involved
|
| Therefore problems will never get solved
|
| We’ve got acid rain Saddam Hussein
|
| National deficit and crack cocaine
|
| Homeless people being driven insane
|
| By a world that gives them not a thing to gain
|
| I start my car and get in the fast lane
|
| Driving by all the strife and strain
|
| I feel the sunshine but I don’t feel rain
|
| 'Cause I’m looking at life from behind a windowpane
|
| I shut my mouth and I do not complain
|
| 'Cause if I did then it would go in vain
|
| I live my life in the way that I choose it
|
| I just aah listen to the beat of the music
|
| So this is the way life’s supposed to go
|
| I work my job and I collect my dough
|
| And as long as I still get paid
|
| I can do what I want and never be afraid
|
| Because I waited and i stood in line
|
| Took my chances 'til it was my time
|
| Worked real hard to learn how to rhyme
|
| So now I’m not giving you one thin dime
|
| People approach me just because I’m
|
| A successful rapper who is in his prime
|
| I worked hard so now I think it’s fine
|
| That you have your life and I have mine
|
| I started writing at the age of 9
|
| I broke no laws and I commit no crime
|
| I got what I got and I don’t want to lose it
|
| So I ahh listen to the beat of the music
|
| Well a change is needed and I can tell
|
| That if I change that then everything will be swell
|
| 'Cause I can’t get upstairs
|
| If I keep on acting like I do not care
|
| Now this is something you people should not miss
|
| And open ear is what I insist
|
| And your response should not be cold and brisk
|
| To a man if your life is better than his
|
| By making this song I guess I’m taking a risk
|
| Of being insulted chastised and dissed
|
| Or called a commie or a socialist
|
| 'Cause I feel success is not selfishness
|
| See my philosophy goes like this
|
| An open hand should not be greeted with a fist
|
| A dirty look or a slap on the wrist
|
| And angry word or a boo or a hiss
|
| Now you’ve done things in life that they’ve missed
|
| But those achievements belong on a list
|
| Be unselfish if you get the gist
|
| 'Cause there’s no reason to be so pissed
|
| Turn around baby make that twist
|
| Follow me every bro' and sis'
|
| I got my Walkman and I’m gonna use it
|
| Helping people while I listen to the beat of the music |
