Three and a Half

[Intro: Dirtbag Dan]
Yeah
Alright
Let's try this

[Verse: Dirtbag Dan]
Sometimes you wait for direction sometimes you make a path
Some people raking the money while others take a bath
Roll the dice, life is a gamble and we're all playing Craps
Are you okay with that?
Cause you can't take it back
It's just the way it is
Do we affect anybody if we ain't saying shit?
Are we supposed to push these drugs or do we save the kids?
Man all I'm saying is
It gets confusing when you play by other rappers cues
You emulate the things they do and trace the attributes
You hesitate to make a move and it's a wrap for you
Do what you have to do
I always try to concern myself with the weight of words
And analyzing vocations before I lay a verse
Some people speak without thinking like that's the way it works
You should've waited first
The words you speak will reveal the things that you take for granted
You show your weakness
People see it and take advantage
Sometimes it ain't the whole picture but how you paint the canvas
I hope you understand it
Sometimes it's underhanded
Sometimes it isn't fair
Sometimes your motivation for chasing it isn't there
Would it really matter what people thought if you didn't care?
You would be unaware
Which is why ignorance is bliss and bliss is non-existent
If you weren't taught to be yourself or you forgot the difference
Between priorities and wealth then what you got to live with?
Let's hope that God forgives it
Just watch the folks you admire approach the day-to-day
Then you could follow the game or change the way it's played
Those that can't handle the change will always fade away
That much is safe to say
Some of them paved the way for everything we're doing now
But that don't mean we follow suit, we're supposed to do them proud
Find our own way to connect with the fans and move the crowd
You gotta do it now
Cause opportunity's the door where we stand at and knock
Sometimes they leave it wide open and others it's locked
Stop, think about all your options before you quit and walk
You're supposed to wait and watch
Whether you wait or not
Will likely make or hurt you
Which is clearly the reason patience is the greatest virtue
Once you realize just waiting don't mean that you deserve to
Don't let your faith desert you
It's all clear to me now
I can see it and laugh
It didn't make no sense before, now I'm seeing the path
People expect to hear a four like we're speaking in math
