Dennis Hobbs - shaking the tree

I used to always question getting the credit where it counts
But that's me calculating it from the debited amount
Anybody else would be stuck, I've been figuring it out
Distraught by situations I don't take into account
Keeping emotions in check cause I'm afraid that they might bounce
Sometimes it's hard to stand firm when life done handed you a slouch
Better off than I was so I don't turn into a grouch
Seeing the fruits of my labor, no sowing seeds of doubt
Even got my first ticket, blasting no backroads
It's a day at a time, why does it go so fast though
Top of the line shit, should've came with a flagpole
So whenever I say that we gon' eat, that means a feast
I done did so much for people who ain't did much for me
So when our people going through it, we refuse to say at least
Focusing on being the face of my brand like Master Chief
Brightside, but I guess it's meant to be
I say we, I say we, I say we, I say we spend too much time trying to create some peace
The main thing we forget is maintaining receipts but don't expect a sermon cause I ain't here
To preach I got a lot on my mind, but some things are for keeps
I don't internalize cause that'll make me weak
But it's pretty hard to see good if you don't shake the tree
