The Grouch - My Best Teacher lyrics

[Intro] In about three second a teacher will begin to speak [Verse 1] When your stock is low and the offer's slow You're the farthest from your hottest You must believe in you, yes even you Have potential to be the largest Lift yourself on up and don't hold others back Because crabs often end up cracked [Refrain] When we begin we start from scratch And when we end we should know how to act [Hook] Like that, like that They can't take away your gifts Only you can take away your gifts Like that and like this They can't steal all of your time Only you can waste all of your time Better me on mine, nobody makes me but me And only I can make me weaker I've been listening close to my intuition Cause I am my best teacher [Verse 2] When your stock is high and the offers fly You done earned this and it's deserved Keep a level head, could be trouble ahead Enjoy the moment thought, it's your turn Have a humble soul but never dim your shine In other words just be genuine [Refrain] When we begin we start from scratch And when we end we should know how to act [Hook] Like that, like that They can't take away your gifts Only you can take away your gifts Like that and like this They can't steal all of your time Only you can waste all of your time Better me on mine, nobody makes me but me And only I can make me weaker I've been listening close to my intuition Cause I am my best teacher [Bridge] We let the music play And let the music play Let the music play Let the music play If this is all I know Let the music play Let the music play We let the music play [Verse 3] If this is all I know It's how cycles flow This is ancient, rhythm [?] That which comes around goes right back around Can't fight currents so embrace this Money comes and goes and never cures at all To reach the top you may have to fall [Refrain] When we begin we start from scratch And when we end we should know how to act [Hook] Like that, like that They can't take away your gifts Only you can take away your gifts Like that and like this They can't steal all of your time Only you can waste all of your time Better me on mine, nobody makes me but me And only I can make me weaker I've been listening close to my intuition Cause I am my best teacher [Verse 4] So when the people leave and there's peace to breathe Listen closely to your own speech That is the realest tune if you feel in tune You will sing this song mostly Life can beat you down but get on up again Everything we learn makes us better men [Refrain] When we begin we start from scratch And when we end we should know how to act [Hook] Like that, like that They can't take away your gifts Only you can take away your gifts Like that and like this They can't steal all of your time Only you can waste all of your time Better me on mine, nobody makes me but me And only I can make me weaker I've been listening close to my intuition Cause I am my best teacher
