Floetrizzle - My Father

My father told me
Don't follow anybody
You gotta be wise and think for yourself
You can lose your possessions but don't lose yourself
My father told me
There's more to life than money
Every man's gotta work to survive
But you can't let the job take over your life
My father told me there's more to life than to make p
But I find myself working everyday just to make p
I gotta call up a doctor think somethings wrong with me
Am I a workaholic? Get me some help please
Most people only got 1 job
Me, I got 3
Most people got food cupboard
Me, I got sweets
Don't get it twisted now I'm not looking no sympathy
Just letting you know what goes in between
When I make my beats
Is this survival?
Or is it greed?
I'm acting like I got a thousand mouths to feed
Have they got something on me?
Or am I scared to leave?
Or have I took job security to the extremes
My father told me
Don't follow anybody
You gotta be wise and think for yourself
You can lose your possessions but don't lose yourself
My father told me
There's more to life than money
Every man's gotta work to survive
But you can't let the job take over your life
Na na
Na na na na na na na
Whoa oh na na na whoa oh
Na na na
Na na na na na na na
Whoa oh na na na whoa oh
My father asked me, are you a shepherd or a sheep?
Cuz you weren't raised follow
My son you was raised to lead
Be obedient and take heed when elders speak
Gotta be resilient if you don't wanna get defeat
See I don't follow fashion
I don't trends
You wont see me standing on the corner repping ends
See I'm not signed to twitter, why would I follow friends?
You thought I was through with this but I keep on doing it again
I feel like my luck and charm
The mic in my palm
That could just reach for the stars
These dangly arms
Means no goal is ever too far
Everyday I'm raising standards as I'm raising the bar, uh
My father told me
Don't follow anybody
You gotta be wise and think for yourself
You can lose your possessions but don't lose yourself
My father told me
There's more to life than money
Every man's gotta work to survive
But you can't let the job take over your life
Na na
Na na na na na na na
Whoa oh na na na whoa oh
Na na na
Na na na na na na na
Whoa oh na na na whoa oh
