LYRICS
Always hatin’ Always complainin’ Switch attitude Get down with the beat Not the drama
Always wanting more followers By showing more skin A slave to desire
Down with the Drama
Always giving respect Loops around We learn when we listen Spiral to the edge One groove
Finding peace within myself In the days of demise Stay far away from negative vibes Once I took my close circle down to a fraction And cut out all the distractions I really started to makin’ my strides
It was time to groove different To truly improve how I’m livin’ Had to really get in tune wit decisions Manifest my greatness, stars aligned with the moon and da ribbons Now it’s time for me to move in position
Life is way too short just guard dat energy baby Keep an open eye man the closest been the enemies lately They see your light and try to dim at it daily And when its out they bring the Sun and the praise, the world we live in is crazy
Just try to keep it leveled to the ground With your spirit clean, keep the devils out Focus on your wild dreams, let ‘em level out And if you got that peace, we can settle now
You got that drama, keep it!
