Testo Friendly Advice - Shinehead

Testo della canzone Friendly Advice (Shinehead), tratta dall'album Sidewalk University

Ah yes yes y'all
Do your best y'all
Without stress y'all
One time
Cause it's the Shine
And uh
Here's a social commentary of mine
And you don't stop
Think about what's in store for the poor
Who ain't properly armed but still fight a daily war
The woman or man who never relaxes
Makes the least amount of money but pays the most taxes
After that you gotta play go fetch
The most mouths to feed so what's left's gotta stretch
Gotta hand it to the women with the skills
The uncanny knack for keeping up with them bills
The family, school, work
Getting down to the nitty gritty
Determined to make more than just enough for the city
And you don't stop
You proceed
Cause I am the head y'all
And I'm gonna quote the dread y'all
The truth is an offense but not a sin
He who laughs last is he who wins
Don't expect no medal of bravery
Go for yours to get yourself out of mental slavery
Cause if you ain't with it, it stays the same
Where you're at's right where you remain
You can lean on me but just for so long
Search yourself or ask God to help you to stay strong
And you don't stop
You keep on
Even after the break of dawn
Cause this battle is long
I say this cause I hold you dearly
The rain ain't gone but I can see quite clearly
The same old same old sucks
Keep moving or you'll remain sitting ducks
Go out and get plucked for something violent
Moping next to silent
Flaming being violent
Check out the avenue
Better do something
Before something do you
See what I'm saying?
I no no joking, you know boss
You a hear me?
Now show the I them say
Now hear this
Most of us wanna get rich
But um
Sometimes temptation is a bitch
And when you ain't got nothing but strife
Man it makes you wanna speed through life
With yourself come face to face
Leave the Joneses alone and keep stepping at your own pace
Pretty soon you'll be lamping in the shade
Quite satisfied about being paid
Progress we a deal with, say
We no stop most youth and youth
Back to back
And you don't stop
You proceed
Cause this is what you need
They call me the H, the E, the A-D
I'm Shine and I'm taking the lead
Ah yes yes y'all
The E, the X, the C, the E double L
Come on everybody and just exhale
Keep doing well
It don't matter where you dwell
Just as long as you sail
Whoosh
