For What It's Worth

It so, basic that we all want to be famous and noticed and watched
 And we all want money and riches and want
 We all want the finest out of life
 From a, from the most heartless gangbanger
 To the most ah, virtuous police officer
 AND we're all um, human beings
 So we're all susceptible to our own weaknesses
 Temptation is a very strong weakness
 There's too much money in cocaine for me to be playin the broke game
 Or at the nine to five with the no names
 But here I be, nine to fifthin it with all of them no names
 Tryin to figure out who I'm gon' blame
 For where I be and where I be is nothin that I ever dreamed
 Everything I'm turnin into was never me
 None of this was scripted
 Or maybe it was and I was too blind to get this
 And maybe because I was too blind to get this
 I threw it to the street
 But look at me, I'm makin up excuses as we speak
 See the reality of it is, it's easier to be cold out then bundled in
 And he who be on the slow route is runnin thin
 Or so it seems and now I'm treadmillin my life on a lower speed
 All that really matters is a profit
 Tomorrow I handle the aftermath of how I got it
 Fuck all of the worryin and all of the second guessin
 I don't got time to deal with a second question
 Life is what you make it be and everything in life is shaped to be
 I vow to turn it 'round and then bow gracefully
 Not enough reasons to say no
 And too many reasons to say yes and I ain't pressed to say so
 Been dealin with the same dollar and the same dream
 Lost between Plans A and B

 And this is for what it's worth
 I'm just tryin to be what I can be
 I'm just tryin to be what I can be
 But it feels like time keeps walkin
 Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me
 Huh, so for what it's worth
 I'm just tryin to make what I can make
 I'm just tryin to make what I can make
 But it feels like time keeps talkin
 Time keeps talkin and I don't understand what it say
 There's too much money in heroin for me to pretend to be negligent
 I'm ignorin it more than I ever did
 And I can't lie, they say all it take is time to better it
 But my clock is lookin foreverish
 Like why can't I, be blessed with a more blessed set of wings
 I see less as more or less everything
 More or less everything that I ever wanted is all gone
 And replaced with what I've been runnin from all along
 So why even entertain the chase?
 Why even pretend I was built to stay in this race?
 The truth is my Swedish dream
 Is so far from my hands that I don't even reach
 I'm so far from a plan that right now, anything'll do
 Cause if the lullabies that the corner sing is true
 Then hit the play button and I'll be down until it's gone
 All the hopes that use to be become the sounds within the songs
 And with that said, I say "Good Morning America"
 Say it once more just in case it wasn't clear enough
 "Good Morning America", this is what your dreams are made from
 As well as what your dreams could break from
 Ignorin all the risks, all the cops, all the enemies
 All the nameless bullets that could be namelessly sent to me
 All the fame from pullin it and all of the fame
 From bein on the wrong side, which one do you claim?

 I'm just tryin to be what I can be
 I'm just tryin to be what I can be
 But it feels like time keeps walkin
 Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me
 Huh, so for what it's worth
 I'm just tryin to make what I can make
 I'm just tryin to make what I can make
 But it feels like time keeps talkin
 Time keeps talkin and I don't understand what it say
 Turned down every offer I was given
 Regardless of the wrath or the temp, I'm pivot
 And I'm just tryin to keep it straight and narrow
 But I'm seein Satan's arrow and it's hard not to get hit with it
 I'm duckin low and prayin that it all pays at the finish line
 And that I don't have to pay for it when it's dinner time
 But bein honest, left never looked so right
 And that corner never looked so bright
 The outcome ain't worth tryin not to be not outdone
 Outrun what you can but where you run out from'll
 Always be your home base
 Until you lookin back home with a stone face
 All the shit that you fall for is twinge with your dreams, all gone
 You question if your questions were all wrong
 You seein how it changed, each side of the game
 Cause your pink slips is they bullets, neither got a name, damn
 I'm just tryin to be what I can be
 I'm just tryin to be what I can be
 But it feels like time keeps walkin
 Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me
 I'm just tryin to make what I can make
 I'm just tryin to make what I can make
 But it feels like time keeps talkin
 Time keeps talkin and I don't understand what it say
