Carpe Diem (Brown Study 2010)

Текст песни Apollo Brown and Boog Brown - Carpe Diem (Brown Study 2010)

[Intro]
The more things change, the more they stay the same. My granny told me, "Ain't shit new under the sun." That's how you deal with that shit that make you beautiful

[Verse 1]
Carpe Deim
Look at me now at 5’9” lil chubby round the waistline, still fine
Neva woulda pictured I’d be spittin scriptured
Glimpses of images in my mind
Or givin you visual observations of my time
Like livin through pivitol situations and still shining
In line with the one so I could never be two
Way I move its never optional to lose
So I pick and choose the pathways
Knowing that the past days can't be changed
Take it wit a salt grain, maintain beyond the garbage
Don't harbor ill will when it's time to build
Seek the real and represent yourself accordingly
Cause ordinarily, niggas will hate
If your take on life is slightly different
They might be wishing to be you
Gotta be able to see through the wicked neva taint ya vision
Keep ya mission true through the nonsense be about progress
Cause God bless the child that’s got his own
Know ya role and play it

[Hook]  {x2}
Life is what you make it nigga
I'ma make it no matter what it takes my nigga
I'm gone take it
[Verse 2]
The smiles and the daggers I'm among 'em
Never slumbering on enemies vicious with envy playin like family
Friends wait for you to win till they begin to show they
True colors, doin onto others like they mothers
Never taught em bout integrity
Baffles me still
To this day we can't escape the mentality to battle the mirror
Than comprehend the bigger picture
We automatically figure everybody out to get us
If we could just focus on the finer things
The minor things will cease to exist
I'm no expert but shit
When I'm groveling at the bottom all my problems seem major
But when I change up the mental everything align simple
Divine signals from the God in me
The rhymes to be
My release to situations when they seem greater than the solution You keep it moving
Cause sun don’t shine forever
When them rain clouds come around

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Ain't tryna preach to you
Just wanna hit you with the rules and regulations
Of defying limitations
Patients is virtuous
When the dust clears the tears wash the surface
Greet the new with a purpose
The worst is behind you
Refined so you shine like the summer sky
And hindsight is 20/20
So you got plenty reasons to evolve like the seasons
Freedom is a mind state waiting to be believed in
[Hook]
