John Murray - Take Risks and Prosper Lyrics

Wasting away
I feel like I'm wasting away
Feel like I'm
Fading away
If I'm not building a
Better me for myself, then
I feel like I'm
Taking up space
I look at the world and
The first thing
That come to my mind
Is how am I saving the day
Shout out the visionaries
In my generation
We out here paving the way

Put down the xannys and choppers
Don't start a new gang
You ain't proper
Granny headed to the doctor
The cold got her bones locced up
I'm a guru I balance the chakra
Gotta fend off
The demons and monstas
She ask me
What is the montra
I told her take risks and prosper
I told her take risks and prosper
I'm trapped
It's holding me hostage
I'm breaking myself outta bondage.
I told her take risks and prosper
I told her take risks and prosper
(OH YEA)
She asked me
What is the mantra
I told her take risks and prosper

I'm sicc of this bullshit
Let's get it started
No time to be throwin no pity party
I'm investing my money into recording
The things that I'm saying are that important
Free my people in chains
It's a lot of us
When you live in the hole
You get swallowed up
How long is that car
Gonna follow us
Keep my pain and emotions
All bottled up
My craft is what I believe in
I know ima win it's my season
When you come from the bottom
And make it out
Any day you here
A day that you cheesin
I'm a vessel but I'm not preacher
I'm solo I don't need a deacon
Spent my whole life
Tryna get out the deep end
I ain't got time to be grieving

Put down the xannys and choppers
Don't start a new gang
You ain't proper
Granny headed to the doctor
The cold got her bones locced up
I'm a guru I balance the chakra
Gotta fend off
The demons and monstas
She ask me
What is the montra
I told her take risks and prosper
I told her take risks and prosper
I'm trapped
It's holding me hostage
I'm breaking myself outta bondage
I told her take risks and prosper
I told her take risks and prosper
She asked me
What is the mantra
I told her take risks and prosper

Being different
Takes a lot of energy
We try to keep it interesting
As far as interesting can go
But if a person where to ask
Then I would have to
Let them know that
Being everything I am
Consists of not a one-man show
And just as mountains
Made of molehills
Matter not to a mountain goat
All the money in the world
Ain't enough to save your soul
So I would rather
Live my life
And spend it chasing all my goals
That to have
Nothing at all and
Everything is just as so
In conceptions of deceit
I feel like
Anyone can lie and
Most will believe that lie
But the truth is rarely told
In that same manner
Of thinking, you couldn't
Give away the truth
But a simple little lie by
Simple minds is often
Sold the sanest man
Could turn to lunacy
And this is often beautifully
Expressed throughout
The twisted day's highs and lows
So finally
If Father Time is timing me
On how long I will naively
Be by myself
Shit, I guess
We'll never know
