[Intro] The Emcee yeah Carpe Diem Ya gotta seize the day Let's go [Hook] Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah) I see something I want I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it [Verse 1] I'm part emcee part shaman Resurrect dead poets through the art of rhyming A professor with extra hard a**ignments Inspired by the stars alignments I cause defiance with bars of science Devour my prey like the jaws of lions In laymans terms you lames can burn My course only for those that came to learn The proper mechanics how to use the linguistics Like the X-Men a school for the gifted But before you can rock the crowd I make you walk on hot coal no socks allowed A simple test that'll set fire to the best I represent the IQ's higher than the rest Heard the wind whisper sent the breeze my way Carpe Diem yo I gotta seize the day trust me [Hook] Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah) I see something I want I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it [Verse 2] If opportunity was at your front door and it saw it's locked It might walk away so open before it knocks I know I ain't the first to tell ya When you don't take action you planting a seed for failure You can bend the rules and break the guidelines Or follow the play and sit on the sidelines Which are you huh the first or the latter Knowledge of self is a personal matter Well let's see double check the facts If money grew on trees would you go and get an axe Prepare for the blossom achieve what's yours Or sit back and wait for the leaves to fall See only in dreams will men be free That's the way it's been and how it always will be *pooofff* I send the breeze your way Carpe Diem yo you gotta seize the day trust me [Hook] Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah) I see something I want I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it [Verse 3] I can show you the ropes I can even loan you the quotes But if it ain't in you why even continue To pose like your whole style is authentic I smell a fraud the aroma is deep scented I re-invented myself with the help of nobody else Yeah I did it solely for my health Not the rollie on the shelf or the 6 digits The fame and fortune is highly fictitious Only exist to those with sick wishes To achieve it they often act a bit vicious And maliciously mislead the youth I steer 'em on course cause my pen bleeds the truth YOFAM the alternative to the street route I use both hands whenever I reach out That way you ain't gotta look hard to see em And live by these two words (what) Carpe Diem [Hook] Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't think twice go for it (go for it) Don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah) I see something I want I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't think twice I go for it (go for it) Can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it
