Second Time Around

[Verse 1]
Let me loose over this one slide up in the pocket
Mine are empty so I'm trying to turn my true love into profit
Man it's routine, worked a nine to five, smoke a paycheck
Take whatever comes my way and sweat a broken latex
Killin' brain cells on the search for an escape route
To the point where I can't make out a single face in the crowd
Play it loud and let me do the damn thing
After me the one night stand is smashed 'till I pull a hamstring
Manhandle the scene trample your dreams while I'm at it
Random thoughts and paper are piling up in my filing cabinet
Filling notebooks with [?] and chicken scratch
Heads tip their hats and goddesses get attached
The oddest shit is that I'm tongue tied 'til I start bustin'
Turn into a loud mouth ready to tear apart somethin'
Mister Hyde mixed with Buddy Love and mixed drinks
The strange combination will make you forget your shit stinks

[Chorus]
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn

[Verse 2]
Tell 'em that good things happen when me and my man connect
Don't even demand respect
Just make heat to keep the fans in check
Inside a town with an identity crisis
Empty and lifeless
In need of a remedy like this
Kiddies 'round here are trapped in the early nineties
Got cats from out of town tryin' to act like they're grimey
And I see through it they're not acustomed to how we do it
My main vein is sustenance to feed the youth with
Eat a dick
Sniff substance off your chick's nip
Disgusting lifestyles of the broke and shameless in the district
Dive bar superstars drink free for life
And start to go gray before they ever see the light
Man it's pointless that's just the way the coin flips though
One moment you're living it up the next you're dead as disco
A lot of [?] got props they didn't deserve
I'll break the fickle middle finger a fake flip of the bird

[Chorus]
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn
Don't stop get it (get it)
You almost did it (did it)
'Cause you barely ever get a second turn

[Verse 3]
Tell 'em it's all in a year's work
The first couple tries miscarried due to the monsters that my fears birthed
Personal gray clouds looking down on the scene
Without the proper funding to jump start the team
I fiend for change gotta be patient and hang tight
Lead a strange life though the right path's in plain sight
Nothing nice though, I had enough of these lames
Pea brains who slept on the crew and left their sheets stained
Ease pain with handfuls of chemicals and justice
Swallowin' pharmies like I have some sort of death wish
My boys were on some half-assed drug intervention tip
It's all out of love but save your breath and good intentions kid
I'm doing just fine
But it's about that time to make it happen put it all on the line
See I need to heed advice, buckle down and get some work done
Second solo yet I hardly hustled the first one
Peace to the fans for the support you give
We do it for the love and barely afford to live
Shortbusians survive up in this concrete bitch
L.I.F.E. Crew to the death, that shit we bomb the streets with
Got Yonnas, Ichiban, Mane Rok and G. B
Jolt, [?], Ase, Nate, Skape and Pablo Kee
Theme One, G-Riot, Dent, Scribe, BDB
[?], Meds, Thought and Chemical Ali
