Open Mike Eagle - Mistakes lyrics

[Hook] Don't go beating yourself up Cause we all make mistakes We trying to get the g's and the wealth up We trying to get paid [Verse 1: Alpha MC] I'm back at it again Like a crack addict with pens In the alley in the back of the rehab that he went to That's how I look at my cheese Kraft on my mental When neither one of them were suffering From the negative chi that I give in to Cause if at first you don't succeed Don't get discouraged Just get some herb and smoke some weed A moment's occur when you were zonin' and your focus returns I don't know the path to happiness All I know is Swim Team cats is traveling And no one has the answers Cause the universe is vast and babbling Way bigger than the cash you carrying It don't help to marinate in every mistake you make But it does help to know the right people I'm flowing tight steelos When I'm standing over my steeple Accompanied by Open Mike Eagle [Hook] [Verse 2: Open Mike Eagle] Go ahead and rock your chain with pride Be sure to get a diamond for every one of the slaves that died Unless you wanna work eight to five And not get paid to rhyme with a hater and an Asian guy (The Underground) Never got you in the first place Go write some sh** that chicks can rock to on their birthdates Better yet a ghostwriter for the first take Purchase some heat and hit the streets like an earthquake Think of the people drinking their beer on the freeway You want them bumping Brittany Spears in the PJs? There isn't a market for weird rappers these days Gotta support the careers of Clear Channel's DJs Go write or rap about vagina meat I'll help you find a beat Cause n***a you just tryna to eat! And f** a clever rapping movement You say that you sold rocks You never have to prove it [Hook]
