shaking the tree Lyrics

I used to always question getting the credit where it counts

But that's me calculating it from the debited amount

Anybody else would be stuck, I've been figuring it out

Distraught by situations I don't take into account

Keeping emotions in check cause I'm afraid that they might bounce

Sometimes it's hard to stand firm when life done handed you a slouch

Better off than I was so I don't turn into a grouch

Seeing the fruits of my labor, no sowing seeds of doubt

Even got my first ticket, blasting no backroads

It's a day at a time, why does it go so fast though

Top of the line shit, should've came with a flagpole

So whenever I say that we gon' eat, that means a feast

I done did so much for people who ain't did much for me

So when our people going through it, we refuse to say at least

Focusing on being the face of my brand like Master Chief

Brightside, but I guess it's meant to be

I say we, I say we, I say we, I say we spend too much time trying to create some peace

The main thing we forget is maintaining receipts but don't expect a sermon cause I ain't here

To preach I got a lot on my mind, but some things are for keeps

I don't internalize cause that'll make me weak

But it's pretty hard to see good if you don't shake the tree
