PENDULUM Lyrics

Getting fired from my nine to five I wonder why

But then I get calls from OG's and I see the signs

And I recall all the prayers made late at night

And how I told God it's about time that he move divine

I'm not ungrateful for the moves he made for me, they fine

And all the lessons that I've learned that's something you can't buy

But I can feel my mood and a character go in decline

And I'm starting to notice only bad things in my life

Like how I crash my whip no place to live and lose my guy

All the same time, now no money time to analyze

And then the calls keep on coming so I just arise

Make new tunes and express the stress I try to hide

Then I can feel that everything just might be alright

And then another call to book me for a show despite

All these emotions like a pendulum, this news is tight

I guess that's life goes from strife then back to benign

Then back to benign

I guess that's life goes from strife then back to benign

I once heard someone say that if you ain't in trouble now

Then God's preparing you to enter you into that realm

That shit's so fucked up to think about, why bring the drought

Why can't we just be happy all the time with blessings all around, no

Think about the reason we don't spoil kids though

No character, no appreciation and no remorse so

I guess I know it's time to grow

New route to plow no more plateaus

The seeds will sprout when buried low

Then I will glow, oh

What a beauty, think about these things

The story that we tell these kids

The transferring of wisdom to the next of kin

The pendulum that swings make us well rounded beings

The bible says do not despise these humbling beginnings

And so I take a breath and realize I gain insight

I guess that's life goes from strife then back to benign

Uh, then back to benign

I guess that's life goes from strife then back to benign

Uh, then back to benign

I guess that's life goes from strife then back to benign
