[Chorus]
Carpe DM AM to AM just how I am
Homie don't pardon me Z.F.G. 'bout whatchu sayin' (Get up!)
Those who really want it go get it no use complainin'
Complacency's false security that k**s no use debatin' (Get up!)
Time is limited with human form so I'm not waitin'
Life's a game but to what and whose rules are you playin'? (Get up!)
Life is a blank canvas so what pictures are you paintin'?
Carpe DM AM to AM just how I am (Get up!)
[First Verse]
You could talk all you want but if your leg muscles weak
Then I don't give a damn 'bout what you got to speak
Bleak be our future if our words and actions don't come together like suture
There's more than one way to do it just like kama sutra
Putrefy, just consume and you die
That's why I'm in the lab cookin' up these tracks of the sonic kind
I know you love this mu'f**a stop lyin'
Edible sounds, your face tells me that it's fine
Hear this, uh, shut the f** up
'stead of complainin' get off your a** and turn that sand into gla**
Don't reconcile sorrow with them bottles naw
Pour your pain in artistic bullets then aim creative gun, blast!
Thing is most of us depend on gas when there's solar all over
We ain't grateful 'til moments turns colder
We all depend on something but watch out for what's the shoulder
Before you try to move any rock, realize you are the boulder
[Hook]
Yeah, life's whatchu make of it
Hear this give a lil' bit 'stead of whatchu can take from it
Right, see life with this hint of light
k** the fear to fight roll with the tide and you'll be a'ight
[Chorus]
[Second Verse]
You see, we either progress or decay
While most of the world's doin' the latter I go against the grain
Don't misunderstand me
I can't find someone's answer for you gotta do it yourself
No we won't find it above down below wherever direction we go
Every desperate step provokes the fuse 'til you blow, don't you know
Homie the present moment, the here and now is the code
That unlocks the chain to your goals, true gold
We're looking for something that is with us all the time
Now tell me mu'f**a aren't we outta our minds?
Yeah either fuss 'bout becoming a star
Or just go right to the source and shine from who you are
Drop your screens you'll see everything beamin'
Live out your visions not enough to just be dreamin'
Life got no purpose but I make my own meaning
That's why I'm 24/7 Carpe DM
[Hook]
[Chorus]
