Badu Lyrics by JZZA

Reasons to Live

2018

[Verse]
Tryna decide on which way to go
Think I might have made a wrong turn back there
My dear how did we get here
Nigga only know the way to go from fear
Never knew the path to the pedestal I had to plot and steal I get the gold and I pet it still
Tryna be the greatest yet but all the higher ups say nigga tend the field

What kinda god want a god to be slave like
That don't sound right
Maybe I'll shine if I stop and give praise right
Then I'll get high
Maybe it's a trap and I'm going through the maze right
Tryna find a rift and I might find the end
I couldn't find myself so I go find the drugs
It's like a fucking job tryna stay alive

I'm so sick of my 9 to 5
I'm too sick for a 9 to 5
I'm too ill too real to be trapped inside
But inside it feels like I been trapped for life
Like I been locked in a box since I clocked in
And just noticed the ticking and tocking
Gotta goal then you better get working
Cause you know time ain't waiting for nothing

You know The only way to win is to want it (well)
You Need books and the bread for the bills
Know a nigga need drive to get on road
Know a nigga need a push to prevail

I know the world is a ploy to perception
I perceive my situation as hell
And so I burn to I can't feel nothing
Come down and feel the same still
Still

(Badu Badu
Badu Badu ) x4
Asking what the dope a do
That's that that's that get me through
That's that put me on the moon

(Badu Badu
Badu Badu ) x4
Asking what the dope a do
That's that that's that get me through
That's that fuck it bro it's cool

That
(Badu Badu
Badu Badu ) x4
Asking what the dope a do
That's that that's that get me through
That's that turn it up and cruise

(Badu Badu
Badu Badu ) x4
Asking what the dope a do
Thats that that's that get me through
That's that lemme hit the snooze
