PRACTICING

Everybody says,'Follow the rules',yeah
But what works for me might not work for you
Sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong
It just goes to show
We' re just practicing and no one really knows
No one, no one,yeah,yeah,no one,mhm
They always told me my ideas would never work
Go to college,get a degree so you could go to work,yeah
'Cause you're gonna need a backup plan
Just incase anything happens
That's the only thing they understand
They don't think that you could do it if you' ve never seen it done
So to my dreamers,aye,keep dreaming
If you got the master plan keep scheming,aye
Gon' have some doubters,that's how it goes
But to be honest nobody really knows
Everybody says,'Follow the rules',yeah
But what works for me might not work for you
Sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong
It just goes to show
We're just practicing and no one really knows
My momma probably thought I was gonna hit the lick,but I didn't
She told me, 'Tobe you should go get a real J O B' ,but I didn't
Hell,sometimes disobedience is the ingredient needed
To clear yo path of feces and demons that mislead ya
To the pile of bodes,you're lyin' with them folk from Egypt
Before they got the receipt,that Pharaoh denied them freedom
I know them shackles that's on ya get comfortable in this system
'Specially when they hit the kill switch on a caterpillar's vision
To be a butterfly and hover by
Can't spend that,have been suckered by
Thoughts that bread only come when you make butter fly, ooh
I hope you get it,I do
I might just write the ones in the slums with the drums a haiku
To let them know there's plenty of tycoons that come from typhoons
And it ain't no rules,this a game of fools and we all just like you,'cause
Everybody says,'Follow the rules',yeah(Yeah)
But what works for me might not work for you(It don't work for everybody )
Sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong(Yeah)
It just goes to show
We're just practicing and no one really knows
