I ain't got no time to be acting all foolish
Busy on the grind but deep down you're exhausted
I'm just sticking to my plan
Learn and listen when I can
I don't do it for the plaudits
Cos I'll never know enough
But Im never giving up
Tell me what you running from
Where you coming from
Do you lose yourself
Tryna be someone
Do you speak your mind
Know your wrong from right
Or do you justify by all the things you've seen in life
Do you guide your brothers
Do you tell them truths
Or do you back them on their business
When it works for you
Do you wake to live or
Do you live to wake
Searching for the meaning
Knowing that it's yours to make
Do you tell your truth
Do you fabricate
Are you honest with yourself
When it's your soul at stake
Cos we all make mistakes
No one's perfect babe
It's all give and take
Until it's judgement day
I ain't got no time to be acting all foolish
Busy on the grind but deep down you're exhausted
I'm just sticking to my plan
Learn and listen when I can
I don't do it for the plaudits
Cos I'll never know enough
But Im never giving up
Tell me what you're living for
Are you giving more
Could you be spitting more
And what you spitting for
Do you teach the youth
How to act and move
Or do you benefit by showing
Them to move your food
Do you love your woman
When she's laying bare
Or do you pass other women
And let your eyes stare
Do you tell your man it's ok to be real
And tell you how he feels
So he knows he can spill
Do you communicate
Do you resonate
Does your energy uplift or
Do you fuel the hate
Cos we all got it good
Compared to someone else
You might lay your cards
But someone hides theirs well
I ain't got no time to be acting all foolish
Busy on the grind but deep down you're exhausted
I'm just sticking to my plan
Learn and listen when I can
I don't do it for the plaudits
Cos I'll never know enough
But I'm never giving up
I ain't got no time to be acting all foolish
