Chris Karell - Lessons lyrics

"LESSONS" [Hook:] Nothing in your life's really safe So cling to what you got, don't take it for granted Tomorrow's never promised, my friend So cease the moment 'fore it's too late to grab it (2x) [Interlude:] But keep your vision on the low The wolves be lurking at the door Make sure you keep your circle close Just in case it's 'bout to go down [verse:] No Montessori, no "Yeezy taught me" But thinking back to what dad had told me I never thought it'd amount to something But here I am, earning all the blessings No matter how great you think You're being, always memento mori And when it comes to your dreams Then keep your vision at 20/20: Focused No bogus, sometimes it's hard to be modest When your motives are lying in p**y, money and power Just being honest with myself, I used to think that this was happiness The more I chase the fame the more I'm being a slave to Lucifer And she can be so seductive, in a world where success is everything If you ain't being productive, what's your worth, n***a? Where's your self-esteem? "Remember '06, remember? That n***a used to get all the girls Or Silvan back in November? His big a** crib's what you wishing for I saw the envy over your face and saw you drool like a dog in rage I know you never had anything, I got it for you, follow my ways" But happiness not defined by what you own out of everything you crave It's something that you will find by being content with what you have attained If you got family to fall back on Maybe some friends and health, that's all You really need, ain't nothing wrong with wanting more But appreciate what you've already got [Hook:] Nothing in your life's really safe So cling to what you got, don't take it for granted Tomorrow's never promised, my friend So cease the moment 'fore it's too late to grab it (2x) [Interlude:] But keep your vision on the low The wolves be lurking at the door Make sure you keep your circle close Just in case it's 'bout to go down [Hook:] Nothing in your life's really safe So cling to what you got, don't take it for granted Tomorrow's never promised, my friend So cease the moment 'fore it's too late
