Look Alive

This is business/this is blood and sweat and tears This is what you feel when you can’t impress your peers With any simple thought/with any small idea I can say I’ve been there but shit, I am still here So what you gonna do when you have an opportunity To prove em wrong and remove you from the scrutiny And what you are is a product of what used to be I say take it and go and embrace it from you to me Burn down all empty promises and insults Rise above all your mistakes and own faults They’ll have to lock you up and stick you in your own vault But you’ll leave em in the dust from the asphalt So are you grinding every day, just to get to what you need Or working for the pleasure and the pain with the greed But when your ideas flow a million miles an hour That is how you really generate the power Take the pen from the artist but you cannot take his thoughts Take the light from the hole there’s still a way out of dark Take the office away but the business is running What I’m saying is it’s possible to make something from nothing There’s a way to succeeding so follow this procedure Breathe it breed it believe it achieve it Exceed it with teamwork and that will all Continue to make that dream work I have a problem with the youth of the nation One thing my generation lacks is innovation And originality of their creations They wanna conform to what they see in other pages We were all born with angels and demons Along with capability to become a leader We see the stars and think “I’d love to see them” But would you rather meet em, or you rather be em
