Lifesaver

Graduated college
Working in a 9-5
On the side getting knowledge
Trying ya keep the dream alive
The poor dream to swim and not take a dive
If a Black Olympian can swim
then I will survive
You can call me lion king
I got so much pride
For my city its a pity
I ain't even tryin
Want to see the world
didn't have a dime
So I found a girl
Now I ain't got the time
Expensive
To chill with
Friends it's
So sad I gotta pick which
Bills get
Paid first so the biscuits
Bisquick
Man, Im So sick cuz
No meals get eatin
Til we get to party on the weekend
Matter fact I'm bout to set it off
Beacon
Peeking
At the crowd just to insure us
The mood is set and the temp is tempura
Haters keep hating
Thinking ima screw up
Super sayin on the mic
Cuz I flow coola
No ice unlike freeza
And slick Rick the ruler
Boss of my business
I be on that Koopa

On in a minute
Til we all in the gettin
And you better pay attention
Cuttin cheddar is the mission
Got a family I'm missin
And reality is kickin when I'm down
But I flow another round til I'm finished

Lifes a shot in the dark
Live in the night and
Hide from the lark
Better study for that paper
Cuz you gon need a lifesaver
You gonna need a lifesaver
If you gon build a skyscraper
You gonna need a lifesaver
Ayo pimpin get your paper

They'll tell you how to do it
They never did
Tell you to pursue it
But they don't believe in it
Man, if you can dance
Here's your chance
Even without a degree
Dead presidents
Necromancy
But wait wait
I'm supposed to graduate in debt
Leave school
For a job that i cant even get
Now that don't even make sense
So we'll pray to be saved by the government
Damn
Or we can marry rich
But theres only 1%
So how am I supposed to make rent
I'm occupying wall street
Pitching a tent
Bitching at the man
But he wont even give me a cent.
Damn,
I just wanna go HOV and
show everybody how to move in a room fulla vultures
And never be consumed when they try to control ya
Money talks volumes
But ima sound soldier
Keepin it 1 hundred
Fear,
Ain't scare of it
My motus oporandi
Is to men's betterment
So if they try to pull the floor
From up under me
They'll find a firmly planted foundation in the sediment

On in a minute
Til we all in the gettin
And you better pay attention
Cuttin cheddar is the mission
Got a family I'm missin
And reality is kickin when I'm down
But I flow another round til I'm finished

Lifes a shot in the dark
Live in the night and
Hide from the lark
Better study and get that paper
Cuz you gon need a lifesaver
You gonna need a lifesaver
If you gon build a skyscraper
You gonna need a lifesaver
Ayo pimpin get your paper

A-P
O-J-I-I
Guess I stay so fly
Now look into my eyes and
Tell me where the disguise is

Why would I try to hide?

I've got nothing.
