52 Pick-Up

Now let me break some bread on some real shit
Learn to love if you ever wanna feel shit
I got mine and it's beyond words trust me
No past due bill payment can ever touch me
I got my girls & my fam & my people
If I lost any one of them. The consequence lethal
I don't believe & still pray for 'em anyway
You never know. It's hard times we live in every day
It's Brains over Brawn on the ladder
That's the food chain nowadays. It's mind over matter
You gotta think it through. It's like a game of chess
Them little voices, listen. Get 'em off your chest
And don't fear. That emotion won't ever help
Anyone can build a house of cards with the hand they're dealt
And I know you're playing pick-up 52
But the week can do it in a year & maybe so can you

I step back & see it all. You know they call me Sky
I'm like nothing else. Absolutely not your average guy
I am a man on a god damned mission
It's in our hands, but that grip's been slippin'
It's without a plan. I just hit the ground runnin'
I'm locked & loaded. Good to get gunnin'
A changed kid. We born for reform
2nd star to the right. Straight on 'til morning

If I could walk thru the life that I have lived
I'd leave it untouched. Leave it as is
This ain't a test nor a final exam
Still better do your best. Life favours the plans
We're all just visitors here. We are not permanent
So stop living your lives like it's a tournament
We're in the playoffs. This round elimination
And you're missing all the shots not taken
I am alone, but I'm with a bunch of others
That's what Mal's been sayin' bout us IACOM brothers
It's all about the community & family
And the room I make has no vacancy for vanity
And I can't say if there's a message or a meaning
But I don't care. I'm all logic & reason
Go 'head Journey, Don't Stop Believin'
Just remember to chill & keep on breathing

I step back & see it all. You know they call me Sky
I'm like nothing else. Absolutely not your average guy
I am a man on a god damned mission
It's in our hands, but that grip's been slippin'
It's without a plan. I just hit the ground runnin'
I'm locked & loaded. Good to get gunnin'
A changed kid. We born for reform
2nd star to the right. Straight on 'til morning
