Praverb the Wyse - The Critic lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, it's your boy Praverb the Wyse You're listening to a beat from Stefano Oscar Wilde stated: That the critic has to educate the public And the artist has to educate the critic But what if you're the critic? [Sample] Everybody's a critic [Verse 1: Praverb] I wake up with doubts, should I persue this? Am I wasting time by writing this music? In cla** I was a clown amongst the brightest of students My willingness to learn became the influence Waiting for my turn, the game is a gamble Waiting for my shot I don't have a steady handle Or aim, I proclaim, following footprints Made in the sand by feet or a pair of sandals A work in progress in need of repair No reserve left am I retrieving a spare? My worst critic is myself, check my health Stressin', I should be happy breathing the air Thankful for another day, an opportunity Selfless acts change the 'I' to a community It's time to influence the movement Based on globalization and the promotion of unity [Hook: Sample] Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric Everybody's a critic Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric Everybody's a critic Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric Everybody's a critic Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric Everybody's a critic [Verse 2] I write a rhyme and it's all for me to keep it Release music, like gossip, sharing secrets Past notebooks stay closed even rhymes a day old Get erased because it's hard for me to read it My own worst enemy, the mind is toxic Blacked out nights thinking times are gothic God has a sense of humor, it's not a rumor Check the events and the signs he's dropping I gotta shape up no need for a taper I bleed for this music, will I bleed for the savior? Depressed at the news or from readin' the paper Slaying demons, can I be the demon slayer? I offer critique, can I take the criticism? Script knowledge with this mighty pen that I'm lifting My own worst enemy, I try to excel I tried but I fell but at least I'm living [Hook]
