Aesop Rock - Harrietta Longbottom lyrics

[Chad Hatcher] Life's not what you take, its not about the promises you make It's not about the friends you might have made, or love that is gone Life is what you give, its not about the stupid things you did It's not about the way things could have been, its about movin on [Hook] It's all about you So every morning when you wake, before the first step that you take Just think its all what you make it, and youll make it thru [Cla**ified] Ya, this life will leave you stressed out, left out, wit your neck out Ain't nothin changed, real lifes, a redeal right But it feels like its somethin strange, we wonderin The dumbest things and let everything get under our skin Trouble again, tryin to impress, somebody else whose f**ed in the head So do you, youll never make everyone happy, it just won't happen (nope) At the end of the day, when all say is said you better be ready to go back at em I learn slow, my verse shows, my growth, my wisdom If you positive, or you negative, it dont make a difference, not when you live it Cuz some of the most successful people on this planet Will k** themselves or somebody else, life they really couldn't manage Then we got bums, alcoholics on the streets With no stress, nowhere to rest, nowhere to dress, nowhere to sleep And they say, 'f** my morals, Im drinkin away my sorrow I'm livin life, and Im happy, I ain't thinkin about tomorrow' [Hook] It's all about you So every morning when you wake, before the first step that you take Just think its all what you make it, and youll make it thru {*2X*} [Chad Hatcher] Life is what it brings, its not about cars and fancy things Or hair salons or diamond rings, cuz so dont lose no sleep Life is all about, the things youll never figure out It's all about the people you allow, and memories you keep [Cla**ified] This here is life, so tell me who chooses whats wrong and right Is it what we see, on tv, get a job, raise a family Thats how I was raised, how I was brought up Get a wife, a son and a daughter Thats how I was taught to be proper Never thought anyone could get caught up And slowly I grew up, and the fairytale quickly vanished Realize that life is a b**h, and sh** you got to be able to stand it And you got to be able to handle it, the stress and the pressure you channel it And you learn to cope, at the end of your rope Anyway that you can, wit liquor or dope Or work hard, raise your kids, strip clubs, whatever it is Smoke weed, shoot hoops, whatever you find your happiness thru It's your life, just make sure you know what you want when you go to get it Keep doin this sh** for you, not your crew, or the dude you tryin to impress, kid Life is simple, life is hard, and ya life is fun So enjoy the things around you before your life is done [Hook] It's all about you So every morning when you wake, before the first step that you take Just think its all what you make it, and youll make it thru {*2X*}
