[Intro] I feel it, I feel it, I feel it I don't even want to It's how it has to be, I keep saying that It's what it is right now, okay? [Hook X2] Busy is my best friend (best friend) Some people asking me exactly what that meant I tell them, busy is my best friend I didn't plan it though, it's just the way it went I spend my nights spent, and my days on edge Anxious, can't remember my last night in the bed Couch hopping, never said I was without options Just that I'm locked in a perpetual round robin More than my own home, I'm at the compound More often in my mom's house or my car's house On route, more than on location Loco days spent in so many stations Radio, bus, train, straining to sustain Save money, save faces, to save me from much pain Trying to gain work with something I enjoy doing Pace myself, but really keep the ball moving We build it so grind mode is reality A state of mind, an elementality You say you want it o.k., well how badly I am gonna be honest, it's not a phase or fad to me [Hook X2] Busy is as busy does That's why my schedule was plentiful and filling up That's why my session are incredible and ill as f** That's why my family and friends don't see me as much "Peace" "Peace" "What's up?" "How you been?" "Staying busy you know." "Trying to stay sane, trying to make a living, you know? " I am away to the lab just ask my grizzly After that it's off to the grizzly to get busy Face buried in the screen, to keep my mind off thoughts I heard in them jeans It's genuine at least And my eyes are sore Cause it's 6 am I've been sitting there since the night before Answer e-mails, write the law Searching for the band called "Fuels" in the iTunes store Life's short, time to pore it all in Geronimo, with my soul Rocker can sing it [Hook X2] My people facing hardships, trying to make deposits Working day to day, to pay the rent, and pay the mortgage One check away from being on the street And my peeps were there one check ago, it's deep When that check took a rain check You in the rain drenched Waiting for a bed, to get next to some heat My peeps that got seized, try to raise them right And at the same time, find your own place in life Working non-stop, day and night To accomplish what you constantly say you might For my people that returned to school No loans, working too No family, and no trust fund to turn to Independent, more strength than some could even fathom Balancing necessities and pa**ion When they get so bad and no one has a hand to lend It seems busy is your best friend [Outro] When you try to see a vision Do it to the fullest extent And busy is your best friend When you hoping what ever you going through will just end Busy is your best friend When you don't want to think no more When you hurting so bad it's in your crawl But it would hurt even more if you stop, even for a second Busy is your best friend
