Act On It (Monsters in the Closet 2009)

Текст песни Swollen Members - Act On It (Monsters in the Closet 2009)

Before I fade to black, in the shaded shack
In a box with handles, and my family in back
I will have achieved my life in leaps
Of paper that kept me safer than hanging with thieves
I've been in the big house but not for long
But long enough to know it's hard to make songs
I played my cards and kept moving along
Hooked up with Madchild and righted my wrongs
You know continuous circles regenerate life
So 365 days I study and write
I've bloodied the mic and will continue to learn
From the best in the world until the night I burn
I fought for my turn, you can check my gloves
We both have ink pads covered with blood and scabs
I love what I have but I will progress
And I do everyday when I take my first step
It's all about breath, when it's done I'm gone
And death is a pawn in a game on a board of which I'm on
I've had a sword in my palm from the very first tracks
That were cut and mastered and released under Battleaxe
It's nice to know that I've been a part of something
Reversal, camouflage in construction

Yo it's funny how time flies, life is lows and highs
And that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes

Before I'm laid to rest, I'ma do my best
Cause the biggest death threat is too many regrets
And I ain't going out like I wonder what would have happened
If I'd never given up and kept on rapping
Been so many years of blood, sweat and tears
Fears to overcome so I'ma give it my all
And when it's last call, at least there'll be no question
And if I fall, I know it just wasn't my destiny
Maybe it's not meant to be, but eventually
I guarantee I'll satisfy myself mentally
I'm sick and tired of the position acquired
I appreciate it, word I've seen visions and fire
A premonition, spiritually awakened
With doses of moments of magic to take in
We'll keep it moving and go at it whole-hearted
Madchild works the hardest to finish what we started

Yo it's funny how time flies, life is lows and highs
And that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes

There's no time to waste, we move with grace
One life to embrace, yo it feels like a race
Nameless faces in a dangerous place
The strange and great, rearrange and taste
From almost nothing to almost something
From no one listening to everybody jumping
Kings on the mic, we got kings on production
Fuck falling off, this is just an introduction

Yo it's funny how time flies, life is lows and highs
And that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes
