Roll With The Punches |
Roll with the punches is what I tell |
To people when things dont go too well |
When you go for the gold and come back empty |
When the ups are few and the downs are plenty |
When you talk with the girl that you always desired |
You busted a move but the move backfired |
When life puts you in the little crunches |
Dont give up, you’ve got to roll with the punches |
Roll it baby |
Work, no matter what occupation |
Any time’s good time for vacation |
Everyday’s the same you can’t believe the monotony |
So when the weekend comes its like you had a lobotomy |
You can’t do a thing without the boss start yellin' |
It wouldn’t be bad if his breath wasn’t smellin' |
A good day’s work for a good day’s pay |
But that’s before Uncle Sam takes a portion away |
Now a lot of times you feel just like quittin' |
But without a job you’re home alone sittin' |
Checkin' the want ads for jobs to fill |
Watchin soaps, Geraldo and Oprah, and Phil |
My advice is to roll with with it honey |
And soon you’ll find that you’ll be in the money |
Expense accounts and three martini lunches |
And thats what you get when you roll with the Punches |
Roll it baby |
You got to roll with the punches |
Roll with it |
Roll it baby |
Lotto, take your chance for a dollar |
If I win then I’ll scream and holler |
High on the hog is the way to be |
And it’s def livin in the lap of luxury |
I picked 4 numbers they were all okay |
For the 5th and 6th I used my birthday |
But I erased my birthday and said better yet |
I’ll use the birthday of a girlie that I just met |
I filled out the ticket gave it a kiss for luck |
Handed it to the agent with a brand new buck |
Went home to watch TV on a Saturday night |
4 numbers came up and they were all alrright |
Now what happened next, nearly made me drop dead |
It wasn’t her birthday it was mine instead |
I said next time I’ll just play my hunches |
But what the heck, I’ll just roll with the punches |
Roll with it |
You got to go with the flow |
Like this |
Women, let me tell you about 'em |
Can’t live with them, can’t live without em |
The ones you like only seem to hate you |
The ones you hate only seem to date you |
Girls will often tell you, you come on too strong |
You got to take it slow to make the love last long |
But I say, the early bird catches the worm |
The late bird gets the gilrie with the two dollar perm |
Man, that put me in dilema |
Case in point a fly girl name Gema |
I met this lady at a quiet place |
About 5 years ago we were face to face |
I stepped up to her, tossed the first line |
Like fishin' I was wishin' that the girl would be mine |
I told my best jokes and she started smilin' |
A voice inside said yo Young you’re stylin' |
But then Gema really startin actin' silly |
Cuz she broke up with her boyfriend Billy |
She wanted advice and she was coming to me |
I said you need Dear Abby not the Young MC |
Because I don’t mind being a shoulder to cry on |
But I need one who needs a body to lie on |
'Cause nowadays I got girls by the bunches |
See I got smart and just rolled with the punches |
Roll it baby |
You got to go with the flow |
Roll it baby |
Nowadays I got girls by the bunches |
I got smart and just rolled with the punches |
