[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
