Make it Count

Time is of the essence and waits for no man
So you'd better get up,get out and get something
Right now,while you can
You know how they say that a mind is terrible to waste
Well,I'm gettin' mine,better get yours
Don't procrastinate
You've got to push,pull and scrape
Sometimes roll with the punches
Go with your intuition and follow your hunches
From a street level hustler to a business exec
Making fast,easy cash or an obscene paycheck
I've traveled on these roads
From one to the other
Been from the conference room
To the ghetto undercover
Not in that order necessarily,you see
I'm trying to make this rhyme
So back up off of me
Working under deadline,trying to compete with a clock
If it doesn't get done,pack my s**t up and walk
Or walkin' thru the 'hood,looking over my shoulder
If I get caught slippin',it will quickly be over
We all have our method of making it thru life
But you only get one shot
There's no such thing as twice
So,whether you are "illicit" or a 9-5
Remember...you're in a jungle
And only the strong can survive ©
