Carpe Diem

Everybody wants to rise
To the occasion
They all got strive
For the wrong reasons
They all got drive
But they don't want to go
They got potential
But they don't show
Oh Captain my Captain
This boat won't float
But it ain't sinking
Our buckets are full
They all want to rise
But I don't need that
They all got strive
But I don't see that

Instead of charging for water
Why don't we filter the water
Instead of bottling water
Man this world needs some Order
Now
I'm not the smartest book on The shelf
But the book that I wrote
Was seemed by me
And I built that shelf
Because I'm a work
Not a robot
I learned what I know not
And I know not
What I learned
But how to use what I know Now
Showing how I grew out
The rumble with a bloom how
Can you come from nothing
To something
Without a handout
So now
Show me what you know now I rather share my knowledge
Not a product
That can go down
Hold it down my brothers
With some letters
And a pronoun
Instead of mumbling rubbish
I learned how to pronounce

Everybody wants to rise
To the occasion
They all got strive
For the wrong reasons
They all got drive
But they don't want to go
They got potential
But they don't show
Oh Captain my Captain
This boat won't float
But it ain't sinking
Our buckets are full
They all want to rise
But I don't need that
They all got strive
But I don't see that

Show me show me
There gotta be a motive
I can't mold the pot
Out of clay
If the motors are not moving
I know that Rome
Wasn't wasn't built In a day
But I ain't able to build Rome
If the bricks aren't consumed
It's a movement
I mean
You're moving in your Furniture
You're only concern Is a project
That you haven't even started Yet
You're hurting
Cuz you forgot to put it in your Furnace
Now your birthday
your worst day
Suit up before you get frostbite I know it's a fight
But you know it's all right
You're the one bringing
Guns to knives
That's the stakes of life
Now you gotta go and pay the Price
While I'm out here
On the front lines
Praising mine

Everybody wants to rise
To the occasion
They all got strive
For the wrong reasons
They all got drive
But they don't want to go
They got potential
But they don't show
Oh Captain my Captain
This boat won't float
But it ain't sinking
Our buckets are full
They all want to rise
But I don't need that
They all got strive
But I don't see that
