Verse:

I ain’t interested in becoming the best in the game

I ain’t trippin’ to get rich or try to gain any fame

To begin with I got in it to try to finish the reign

Of the sickening politician manipulating your brain The kind of inhumane human who’s stupid enough to say that the rich need more and the poor can’t play

So I’m knocking their door to file a complaint

See I rap solemnly ‘cause I want something to change

It’s my gateway to become a better person

Live by five guidelines, you better learn ‘em

If you wanna live a life with no concerning or burning

Any bridges with other people instead of them all confirming what a nice guy you are, forget the burden

And live happily ever after with laughter returning

Instead of cursing and lurking behind the shadow of working - you better not bore yourself to death as the rest of us keep turning

No comprende? You don’t seem to see the world like I do - people keep tripping on me asking how I have time to

Be there for my woman and keep ‘em coming on iTunes -

I just smile back and say, “an ordinary life blew”

The times just something you gotta find on sight dude - and I promise to get you into the right mood

Sit back, relax and keep thinking that it might do

And I guarantee the people you meet will believe and like you

Chorus x2:

There are five guidelines I follow

If I do so I know that I’ll smile tomorrow

And I know a good deed can be hard to swallow but if we pass it along, it can become a new motto

Verse:

Number five, live with a satisfied mind, Remember to kiss your kids and your lady goodbye every time the rhythm- and rhyme’s controlling your mind, making you blind, to see it’s really taking your time ‘Cause on the inside the lies that you face will disguise, the good things in all the other people alive

You gotta thrive, by which I mean beginning to compromise and to never say never, so the inevitable can arise

The sky’s the limit, taking us straight into fourth place, and I know it’s this one that the young are loving to hate but it ain't up for debate, you shouldn’t steal or take - any bear-necessities unnecessary to make do Think free to be free, number 3’s easy

But you gotta be critical if you listen to the TV from the authority to my new CD

I wanna see critical thinking to a different degree

Chorus x2:

There are five guidelines I follow

If I do so I know that I’ll smile tomorrow

And I know a good deed can be hard to swallow but if we pass it along, it can become a new motto

Verse:

Equality has gotta be up near the top of the list so all of the responsibility is given to kids

Who have to learn how to take it, in turn try to make it

United as one front we’re coming from the basement

With a statement of embracing the thought of a single nation

Under one flag, the peace tag you see at my station

We must be equal to fight the evil we facing

And I believe we can be the people shaping the pavement

Number one, never fear the people in front

Be exactly what you wanna be and that you’ll become

And remember never to run, for the better to come

And from what your meant to be, its either your own life or none

So remember to be the on the team of the free, I’m open to anyone hoping to be on the level of voting for we, instead of just taking the stem of the tree

As the weapon to beat, up all the weak, humanity’s living with shuttering teeth

If we don’t follow a better belief I’mma fear that we’re leaving the people deceased

Chorus x2:

There are five guidelines I follow

If I do so I know that I’ll smile tomorrow

And I know a good deed can be hard to swallow but if we pass it along, it can become a new motto
