J1k Beats - Work With What I Got lyrics

[Monologue: Josh Reid] You know... Sometimes, you want to do so much But you're limited to so little You can just do the best with what you've got Dream on [Refrain: Josh Reid] Well I work with what I got Garageband and a mic In a room, with a couch And a cat, and a light Get a beat, and I write Work it out, and recite I'll see you in the morning I don't go to sleep at night [Verse 1: Josh Reid] Well my life is like a dream When you wake up and you want it back You close your eyes, but you only see one tone of black But I'm so fine with that I'll work to get it back I think wait, I know I can Stay rolling on the on track Just keep me level headed Insane is what is dreaded Erase it then I edit Surgical like a medic Newer lyrical methods Taking lyrical lessons But God's the teacher, so I said I'd follow his directions We got the camera work, I make a video Put it on Youtube, Facebook and Vimeo And also Dailymotion, stay flowing like the ocean I wish I'm out in Cali, that's just another notion But I'm fine with where I'm at and you know that's for sure Living in Cleveland, Ohio with a home where I'm secure And I got my friends, (huh) well only one that's by my side Summer living, all is hopeful I'm just glad that I'm alive [Refrain] [Refrain Part 2: Josh Reid] Well I work with what I got Only one goal in sight Where I work, and I write And I reach, newer heights And I hope, and I dream The time is coming soon I'll just work with what I have Until the time is opportune [Verse 2: Josh Reid] And I work with what I got Get a pay check, and save it Instead of messing round, or finding ways to go and wave it Ain't gotta spend it now, I'll save it 'til the time is right And I know I'll make it momma, see your boy is taking flight What I have now is time To work, to write To rap, to grind So one day I might Make it to the level where I know I wanna be See the places that I wanted, but I knew I couldn't see [Refrain Part 3: Josh Reid] And I work with what I got A man and a computer Observing different lives that I can live throughout my future What I'm working with is fine, I ain't gotta brag about it Keep the thoughts up in my mind, so I ain't have the chance to doubt it I Work With What I Got (x4)
