Have it your way... we're on "borrowed time"

You can have it your way

But it won’t be a whopper from the B. King

It’ll be twice as much but with a bee sting

Take what you get

And what if what you get turns out to be shit

Take dat n turn it into a fertilizer bit

Watch the grass grow as if it will never be clipped

Sit here, sip my tea, watch the wind make the blades whip

Grass is greener my ass, I rather equal visual on both sides,

No need to make the contrasts hide

Coincidence… yea right, ya brain is merely coin… see? Dense?

Flip it to get the other perspective, they both exist at the same time, there is no irrespective

Try to be reflective, of your own foibles, though you will claim you have none… A Saint u claim… you are nun

I don’t aim to fame, that mindset will make me done

BEFORE I even start, writing out all the experiences that would make fame for me a simple claim

I’ma wee bit crazy, but I’m for damn sure not lazy, just only a tad hazy

And that come from the weed

The cannabis plant blesses me with the herb of life, no herbs of strife, except on ocassion, that man herb in my life... ;-)

Blessings in everything if you so choose to see the glass half full with the fluid of life

I rather not make excuses for lack of, just make actions and pack it up

My time, your time, it’s borrowed time, for none of it did we pay dime

Yet time after time we chase after it like sniffing those lines

Aight aight, what’s the time?

I’m munchied up now, where we driving by to wait in line, you KNOW that takes time

And btw, who buyin?
