Elbow Room

Elbow room, I need some elbow room With all this ambition I need elbow room You know what time it is But you won't look at the clock You want to keep going when you know you should stop There's groups, a lot With demos to shop Like they're the ?Bedos? But they're not Wake up from the dream Go back to school Get an education An occupation Can't chase a dead cat Can't get too far on a bike if the tires are flat You have a homie who has a cousin Who used to cut the hair of an intern at a label Who says he's able to pass a word to his boss Yeah, it's a lead but his boss doesn't know his first name Perpetration is the game It's that I'm ahead of you kid, Big Busy, Mad Child God showed me I don't fit in the scheme of things At the most I rock a chain and my wedding ring We're all different from one another Beyond color, the mystery has been uncovered [Hook 2X] Elbow room, I need some elbow room With all this (opposition / ambition) I need elbow room You know what time it is But you won't look at the clock You want to keep going when you know you should stop Prevent the mistake is how I think You better fix the leak before the boat sinks Labels put money in to get money back Turn around and blame the public when the group is wack Point blank, I'm stating the fact I'm cutting down the rubbish with my _battle axe_ I see why people think rap is trash A song is garbage if it's all about cash I understand survival is key But where will you be when there's no more money? Blank and empty, unfulfilled For me, it's allmighty God; not the dollar bill I wasn't born with the crew; I won't die with the crew I can't be frustrated, I can just pray for you If your flesh wants to rap but your spirit says no I suggest you listen to the spirit, grow, and grow [Hook 2X] If rap is your calling it must have been a crank call Get some caller ID So you know where it's coming from Before you pick it up and waste a bunch of time on the phone Speaking on my behalf, every waking second Is self-examination, constantly facing Where can I improve according to spiritual law As a man of flesh, as a man of flaw? Can't do it without you, Lord I'm a co-dependent You know my heart and whether I meant it Man's more concerned with pleasing man before pleasing You We can say what you want but we know it's true Yes, this is message music Speaking to those who abuse it Mess around and lose it Everything we do is recorded Hell is the price of sin; I can't afford it, No! [Hook 2X] You want to keep rapping when you know you should stop You want to keep graphing when you know you should stop You want to keep scratching when you know you should stop You want to keep dancing when you know you should stop You want to keep bashing when you know you should stop You want to keep amping when you know you should stop Stop, stop, stop (fades out)
