ME - I'M GETTING A LIFE lyrics

I'm taking some time out from hardship I ponder my next move … I'll give it some rip Tired of the world's pushing and shoving It's my time now, I'm on to a good thing Ill do some chilling, hang out with the hood Damn sure, this here will do me some good On the 9 -5 for a boss man, ain't my thing What's in it for me? Only the tills that ring Lining their pockets with trappings of wealth I slog and slave and damage my health Pappa once told me: "If you gonna be happy son" Got to go out there and have some fun So yeah ...... I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way Can't let this b**h-slapping vocation get me down Bully-boys steal my joy, all I do is frown Sitting all day, churning out work Can't relieve myself, cause boss-man asks: 'Where are you jerk?' Pores over me like a man possessed I had it coming, I could have guessed The bad vibe has my stomach in a knot Time to end this and give life a shot I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So what ya gonna do wit' your life asks Mr Cool Let's say, 'I dunno' all I know is I'm no fool Packing shelves on the 9 - 9 at the MART There's more to life, let's keep it smart I'll rub the sleep from my eyes not thinking about my boss Freeing my mind from the chains of all the dross No highway snarl-ups an' road rage for the time being That drudgery anyhow is not my thing For a while, the world will be my playground In time to come, I'll tell you what I've found I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way I was told: "You have to be something in this life" This is not the way to do it, for me far too much strife I won't be thinking of life's next chapter yet I know I'll make, it's all I can bet My book of life being written as I speak Time to kick bu*t and empower the weak Doubt etched on the faces of work chums I say, Don't fret, I'll still be around cause I'm no bum I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way You work your bu*ts off slogging away Not taking this punishment, no more no way Life's too good our there to be sitting here You have to take some risks and have no fear If you do not try you'll never know What's it like ... to let the river of life just flow and flow If you will slave and slog, let me enjoy My new life out there for I am no toy I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'll catch y'all on the sly Who knows, you might just be driving by I won't forget y'all, but I will this place This joint's not for a guy like me, this pretty face Plans have I, dreams I harbour, a future ahead Maybe a Lambourghini for this petrol head When it comes, I'll still have my feet on the ground Cause in this hood, that's where I was found Now don't you sweat, now don't you fret I'll make something of my life just yet I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way So I'm taking some time out, taking some time away To dream my dreams and do it my way YES DOING IT MY WAY!
