G-Natural - Can't Do It All

Unnhh... man
Got all these emails, people blowin' up my phone
Got like a thousand things to do
Lord, I just... I can't do all of it

Every day and night
I be on my grind
I put it on the line
Hustling but I can't do it all

So I live my life
Keep the Word of God in mind
When I'm overwhelmed then I
Trust Him cause I can't do it all

Turn the bass up, when you bump it
Trynna make you feel something
But I gotta feel something first
I don't wanna drop just another verse
Wanna give the people something to clap to
Let them boys know, old men we can rap, too
New style, it's aight, I'll adapt to
Make the concept, hook, and the track, too
Renaissance man not from Harlem
Had to give up all my dreams of stardom
Check my heart, cultivate my garden and
Return the mental movies I starred in
Cause really I'm not the star
Christ the driver, I'm just the car
Ain't gotta worry if I'm just as far
As your favorite rapper who's up to par
Cause I'm on a different scorin' system, let
God do the work and I try to assist Him
Setbacks come, but I'm not the victim, I just
Keep it movin' like an engine piston
Back and forth, til my effort's maximized
Even so, try to get some exercise
Wellness, I be tryin' to emphasize
And in ministry I try to empathize
With the roadside activists
Instagram pics always look fabulous
But burnout exhaustion's ravenous
Keep going like that, you need an ambulince
Or is it ambulance? Don't take the chance
Make time to rest, plan in advance
And make it solid, too, and then follow through
Cause even Superman had a Fortress of Solitude

Every day and night
I be on my grind
I put it on the line
Hustling but I can't do it all
So I live my life
Keep the Word of God in mind
When I'm overwhelmed then I
Trust Him cause I can't do it all

Every day and night
I be on my grind
I put it on the line
Hustling but I can't do it all
So I live my life
Keep the Word of God in mind
When I'm overwhelmed then I
Trust Him cause I can't do it all

Now when are we gon' start getting along?
When you thought you was right, you was getting it wrong
I mean not every time, but enough of the time
To where when I object, you should stop on a dime
But too often, you keep going, get a head of steam
And you don't like slowing it down
Every good idea, you be going to town
Until you're bored and lose interest
Cause you're ambitious, but listless
Without persistence, you need assistance
Your main challenge is going the distance
So it's hard to take care of business
And what happens when you run outta steam
To get it done then you have to turn to me
And I'll help cause I'm always 'bout that cream
But it's hard when there's 19 other things
You're versatile, and you got lots of gifts
So lemme be like a sieve and help you sift
Non essential burdens, I can cull the herd in
But just lemme get a good word in
I mean, no doubt, you got mad talent
But you need to have more balance
Between the need to check something off the list
And the need to create a challenge
Creative and productive, they ain't gotta be opposite
Every objective I just wanna stay on top of it
But why are there always so many
And time it never feels plenty
Is there any way we can fulfill our destiny?
I want the best for you, you want the best for me,
It's our mental health, so I'm real compelled
To repeat this everyday argument with myself

Every day and night
I be on my grind
I put it on the line
Hustling but I can't do it all
So I live my life
Keep the Word of God in mind
When I'm overwhelmed then I
Trust Him cause I can't do it all

Every day and night
I be on my grind
I put it on the line
Hustling but I can't do it all
So I live my life
Keep the Word of God in mind
When I'm overwhelmed then I
Trust Him cause I can't do it all
