Get Up
-
OK, so my rap needs work. Here’s a little piece on self-inspiration. Time to Get Up
Get Up
What I need
is a massive distraction
Something to remove
my dissatisfaction
With life in general
if just by a fraction
I’ve given enough sympathy
Sat in enough self-pity
It ain’t no trick to me
Gotta find
the great escape
Not gonna sit and wait
For a better life when late
Late is when it’s gonna be
If I don’t open my eyes to see
The greater good around me
Okay, sometimes I stare at the sky
Ok to wonder ok to ask why
But sometimes the questions got to fly
Gotta move on or I’m losing traction
Sitting in paralysis and inaction
Ain’t gonna make the positive happen
Life is no great mystery
No point in living if you can’t be free
So I’m discarding chains that bind me
Gonna give love out every way
Deflect the bad - embrace each day
Find the eye of the storm – keep the negative at bay
