It’s hard for me to sit still.

I can’t keep still, I gotta keep going

My critics are watching, my movie is showing

And its rated “G”, “G” stands for God

That means He can sit in the theatre and watch it all

At least that what I strive to do

That how I strive to live, how bout you?

I’m not here to preach, I’m not here judge

Myself is in the way, I’m here to make him budge

Fear is the only thing that keeps me from being me

Once I overcome, that side of me will cease to be

This is what I do, this is how I live

As long as I keep going, I’ll have more to give

I used to be a bagger, I used to push carts

Then I started cashiering, handling cards

On to the seafood, swimming with the fish

Another promotion, cutting mr. cow and mr. pig

It get cold back there, just me cutting meat

On top of that, I go home with wet feet

That’s why push, trying to get management

They say it’s too stressful, but I know I can handle it

And while I’m doin that, Ima keep doin this

Cuz this is the closest thing next to music

And just cuz I’m here, doesn’t mean I’m not in the booth

So I’m rapping for them, and I’m writing for you

Track after track, poem after poem

Line after line to let you know what’s goin on

Update you on my wife, and my son down south

About my whole family, and what my friends are about

But you gotta promise not to turn away once I begin

Because we came here together, and together we will end

Even if were not together, and we will be here to the end
