Lonnie Szoke - Hotel Diary lyrics

[Monologue] True story I told Steve Jobs ‘you can't slave drive me' I told Frank Stronach ‘I want to live lively' when he fired me There's nothing you can do to me My family is from poverty From a place where there isn't much food to eat They used to drop bombs on the young and the innocent Remember ducking out in bunkers with my mom and my brother man If there's a hell on earth, this place was really it No sign of hope, just pain and heartbreak Many escaped to seek refuge in foreign countries Took jobs in white man's restaurants and factories Just to provide shelter and food for their families Notime for meltdown or moods, cause that's casualty Look at you, so cool skipping school so casually Put yourself in your pop's shoes, I bet you'll wanna run yeah Just look back at your roots if things become unclear Developed a love for the third world, cause I am really from there Appreciation for the developed world, cause we got freedom here Deep down somewhere it keeps nagging at me what we can become here The land of opportunity, you know it's still sung here But you're hesitant to pursue it see, due to some fear The past got you hurting, but what's done is done yeah The future is uncertain, every move seems like a big jump yeah So instead you pour some bourbon and drink til you're super drunk yeah Slurring to your closest peeps that life is just unfair Hoping that you wake up a new person and all your problems are gone yeah But they're still there smirking, singing same old song yeah You gotta realize even in failure there's learning so don't fear You'll never know unless you try and nevermind the outcome yeah What you waiting for? Go ahead take a lunge yeah Come out swinging, Manny Pacquiao, punch yeah Shift to your main gear, never look back at your pain-fear You're no stranger to danger so what's a little change huh? You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain here So step up to the plate and show your mothafukin range yeah Not acting like I got the formula to success cause I ain't there And I know that I know nothing, but I tell you something Success ain't a destination, it's an endeavour,yeah [Outro] When the timing's right, you'll be ready yeah Whenever you're ready it'll take you there It'll be okay, have no fear And when we cross paths, all the stories we'll share… Why you feeling down for? Take that frown off And go live your life Tell me what you down for Get our shine on And go live tonight...
