Pumpkinhead - Anything lyrics

[Intro] n***as nowadays, I just think they ungrateful. Ya know'm sayin'? They come in and out of the game. They give up, ya know'm sayin'? They don't really struggle and hustle and do what they gotta do (true). I remember back in the days, ya know'm sayin'? Remember like, you couldn't afford, like, Fruity Pebbles. We had Kabooms (Kabooms, yeah). Ya know'm sayin'? (*laughs*). Ya know, you know you couldn't afford Captain Crunch. You had King Vitamins, ya know'm sayin'? It came in the bag, ya nah'mean? Kids nowadays don't understand, ya know'm sayin'? You gotta do what you gotta do to get on and struggle and survive in this game, ya nah'mean? That's real though [Verse 1] I got knowledge condensed in the space of my brain Words, definitions, and cultures from Africa to Spain You know my name, so I won't repeat it Just know that I could do any type of job when the work is needed That's why I stopped gettin' weeded I stopped cigarettes too, cold turkey, because I ain't need it All you need is will, power, strength, and faith—believe it Anything you set your mind to do, you can achieve it All that negative no-can-do attitude, delete it Pray to whoever you pray to: Allah, Jah, or Jesus I dropped outta high school but in my mind I'm a genius So I made it further than dudes with a GED did Then I reached in the deepness of creases Read books and Shakespearian masterpieces Burned textbooks given out by my teachers That's why history to me is feces, I exorcise those demons Those who are fictitious and facetious Don't get it twisted. This ain't my album—it's a thesis Written with heart and soul, better than decent Blood, sweat, and tears just to hear the cheers from the bleachers [Hook] You gotta grind, you gotta struggle, you gotta hustle to get {anything} In this world you need. Plus, hard work and pain If you afraid to bleed to achieve {Anything} From fame to love, from name to shine You gotta move fast, can't waste your time. I did {Anything} To create a new flow, let's get it and go And if you f** up, only Heaven'll know {Anything} ‘Cause anything goes [Verse 2] I rocked one pair of sneakers per school year, now listen If they got scuffed, I covered it up with Riffin My Mom sewed the holes in the kitchen My clothes got sewed so much it looked like my clothes got stitches So I went to school tryin' not to look bummy And I swore one day, when I got my hands on some money I'd take the twelve inch cuffs out of my jeans so I wouldn't look funny But Mummy got a good job and now I'm fillin' my tummy God bless her for the support so we wouldn't stay hungry Puttin' name brands on our back—now we look like new money So fresh, so clean, so now all the girls gonna want me And fifth racists grade girls wanna dry hump me We takin' week long trips, drivin' cross-country In a new family whip, the neighborhood loved me Watching a portable TV in the back, I feel lucky Laughing at Fred, smack Lamont and call him "big dummy" And this, all because of my Moms—big up My Dad was around, but when he pa**ed, she didn't give up She worked hard to keep her chin up and dress her kids up We did... {Anything} [Hook] You gotta grind, you gotta struggle, you gotta hustle to get {anything} In this world you need. Plus, hard work and pain If you afraid to bleed to achieve {Anything} From fame to love, from name to shine You gotta move fast, can't waste your time. I did {Anything} To create a new flow, let's get it and go And if you f** up, only Heaven'll know {Anything} ‘Cause anything goes [Verse 3] My songs are scripted from visions of the past I've lived different lives, I'm one of the last Poets, my motive is to show kids My flow is the closest to what a G.O.A.T. is The most gifted of all time to ever hold a mic and explode it Rebuild it to a golden rod, I get respect from the older gods To represent this culture hard and promote it What's the odds of me makin' it to the hills on my lawn And being the only owner of like four hundred cars I'm tryin' to make numbers like Avon But I remain' underground, me and my squad I wanna be on the cover of Fortune 500 burnin' some chron' I wanna own the first company to employ all of the ghetto For good paying jobs, so I pray to God For help, wisdom, and a million for my moms So when the mic is in my palm, I spit it like I was strapped to a bomb Get it right, don't get it twisted I'm grown now, so the rich and lavish life: I'm tryin' to live it Without the same attitude of some of you midgets I want my son to know his dad had a humbler image [Hook] You gotta grind, you gotta struggle, you gotta hustle to get {anything} In this world you need. Plus, hard work and pain If you afraid to bleed to achieve {Anything} From fame to love, from name to shine You gotta move fast, can't waste your time. I did {Anything} To create a new flow, let's get it and go And if you f** up, only Heaven'll know {Anything} ‘Cause anything goes [Outro: "Napoleon Dynamite" Parody Skit - Chip, Bonaparte] [C] I'm the greatest tech seed there could ever be [C] The guy that you'll never see [C] Sort of like the ghost in the wind [C] I can't control what flows from within [C] My lyrics spew from my heart [C] And I tear wack emcees apart [B] Hey Chip!
