Boog Brown - Carpe Diem lyrics

[Intro] The more things change, the more they stay the same. My granny told me, "Ain't sh** new under the sun." That's how you deal with that sh** that make you beautiful [Verse 1] Carpe Deim Look at me now at 5'9” lil chubby round the waistline, still fine Neva woulda pictured I'd be spittin scriptured Glimpses of images in my mind Or givin you visual observations of my time Like livin through pivitol situations and still shining In line with the one so I could never be two Way I move its never optional to lose So I pick and choose the pathways Knowing that the past days can't be changed Take it wit a salt grain, maintain beyond the garbage Don't harbor ill will when it's time to build Seek the real and represent yourself accordingly Cause ordinarily, n***as will hate If your take on life is slightly different They might be wishing to be you Gotta be able to see through the wicked neva taint ya vision Keep ya mission true through the nonsense be about progress Cause God bless the child that's got his own Know ya role and play it [Hook] {x2} Life is what you make it n***a I'ma make it no matter what it takes my n***a I'm gone take it [Verse 2] The smiles and the daggers I'm among 'em Never slumbering on enemies vicious with envy playin like family Friends wait for you to win till they begin to show they True colors, doin onto others like they mothers Never taught em bout integrity Baffles me still To this day we can't escape the mentality to battle the mirror Than comprehend the bigger picture We automatically figure everybody out to get us If we could just focus on the finer things The minor things will cease to exist I'm no expert but sh** When I'm groveling at the bottom all my problems seem major But when I change up the mental everything align simple Divine signals from the God in me The rhymes to be My release to situations when they seem greater than the solution You keep it moving Cause sun don't shine forever When them rain clouds come around [Hook] [Verse 3] Ain't tryna preach to you Just wanna hit you with the rules and regulations Of defying limitations Patients is virtuous When the dust clears the tears wash the surface Greet the new with a purpose The worst is behind you Refined so you shine like the summer sky And hindsight is 20/20 So you got plenty reasons to evolve like the seasons Freedom is a mind state waiting to be believed in [Hook]
