Give.... Me... Somethin'.... to learn I'll give you, somethin' to teach Give.... Me... Somethin'... to earn I'll give you, somethin' to keep Give me Stability, when this bridge is weak I'm lookin' for a platform to stand on As this lifeform hits its peak Not inside, but outside, the norm of normal looks for a barrier to breach Steady as I wobble , you take from my hand, but still.. I... am... a handfull No push, only the pull... no life left in this knife, the blade clearly is dull There's no safe, no lock, no code... Only thing you need to crack is my skull Not how am I, it's how are you doing, how's life? how's time moving? Are you sick... of the ******** How's barely gettin' by going? I'm not one to prove while improving, just tryin' to get by while keepin' ongoing My mind took off My body stayed put in the loft What about me makes you think I have the self control to keep from goin' off!? I'm a mental slob My brain just oozes thoughts I don't think, I just act, like that one time I got mad and slapped my boss!! So here's this... Give.... Me... Somethin'.... to learn I'll give you, somethin' to teach Give.... Me... Somethin'... to earn I'll give you, somethin' to keep Obviously aware of all these lessons, I keep stressin' I might not even have a steady vocation or profession No sleep even when I should be well rested I even hate the attention, But I purposely leave words worth the mention Now lets just question The difference between hell and heaven Whats the difference between an "L" and an upside down seven? I have no religion, so what's a priest, what's a reverend? Put it this way at least... Lettin' my mouth off it's leash Will allow me to speak loud enough to speak my peace Everytime I fade in I fade out Everytime I fade out, I still fade in its just about The 'who,what,why,where,when??. How can now be going back to then? I must be runnin' in fuckin' circles again! I lost the dice I tossed to the wind Maybe I'll give the wheel of fortune a spin And if it's fortune I win, I'll consider myself fortunate then Give... Me... Somethin'.... To burn Without smoke from the chimney, I'll make a fire with words to create heat I'll just take and keep what's within reach Even if it's the world beneath my feet I... Don't... Want... To ... Earn So without a landing beneath me, I still dive head first when I leap So... Give.... Me... Somethin'.... to learn I'll give you, somethin' to teach Give.... Me... Somethin'... to earn I'll give you, somethin' to keep -J.A.M
