Sly - Pick Yourself Up Lyrics

Shit gets real
When life becomes class
Watch the hour glass, the pain shall pass
Learn from this paragraph
A heart can only bleed so much
It's crazy to me
That we only want the buzz instead of love
My posse, like minded individuals
Doing anything we can do to keep the belly full
Put your hands up, to show that we're still alive
We might carry bricks, but hey we strive to survive
Try the best, to throw the ball and swish the net
Can't forget, but we can always kill the stress
Friends are my family, they unravel my pretzel brain
Keep your loved ones close, they'll help you maintain
What doesn't kill me, is god gift to never quit
I'm so thankful for this infinite membership
With all metaphors aside
Do what you gotta do to stay positive in life
Struggle for yourself to grow
Everything changes, yo go with the flow
Pick yourself up, when you get kicked down
I wrote this cause I'm learning the art of it more now

You make the day, the day don't make you
You make the day, the day don't make you
Man, you gotta pick yourself up
You make the day, the day don't make you
You make the day, the day don't make you
Woman, you gotta pick yourself up

Rest in peace, is what I don't wanna see
Not when, but it's how we die, that seems to bother me
Thinking talking to you could save a life
Yours or mine, death is still a passenger of life
Take a shot, or lick it and split, light it then hit it
For your brother's sister's spirit
This is what we call respect
Something some of you haven't even learned yet
Pouring my faith, into these cups
Becoming the phoenix, we keep rising up
Listen to your soul, and ride it's waves
Tell them we f*cking breathing, and they better be afraid
Cause I think there's something in the water man
We keep dropping off, we keep losing friends
Generation of the young, wild, and free
Time you can't get back, will cost you everything
