Give and Take by Marc Jones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All praise due to the most high
Give thanks for the day, thanks for this life
Yeah I came in this game with new vibe
Tryna do the best that I can just to live right
Nothing but truth when we come through
Couple dogs like Snoop when we run through
No time for the lies or the voodoo
Grown man ting here, nothing like blues clues
Man I can't forget the vision
Cooking up hope like mumma in the kitchen
Got a 9-5 cos I have to make a living
Do this on the side like garlic bread with chicken
Got a plan in mind so I know just what I have to do
Nearly 25 big man nah I'm not a yout
Think back to the days I was sitting in a classroom
Now I'm at a desk in an office how the time flew
Let me tell you what my life's like
Humble I don't flex cos this here could be my last night
Even if it is everything is all cool though
Saved from the pain, I didn't even need Naruto
Always on my guard, crunch time in fourth quarter
Talent in the south must be the water
Fast tracked in the game like a had porter
Gotta listen to the boss when he gives the order
[Chorus]
This is how it is
Tryna balance things I'm just tryna live
How you gonna to take if you never give
How you living fake, that ain't worth the risk
This is how it is
Tryna balance things I'm just tryna live
How you gonna to take if you never give
How you living fake, that ain't worth the risk
[Verse 2]
This whole thing had me too stressed
Then I clocked that I was too blessed
Electricity and hot food
But I still moan when I can't buy what I want too
This things crazy that they call life
I was moving mad paro like a 4th wife
Can I make a sound that they like
Or will I check and see no plays and no likes
Forget that let me do this ting own way
Jump on a track there's no telling what I won't say
God's got my back so I don't need that first place
This is what can happen when you emphasise the Lord's grace
Cos that will make all the difference
Can't claim that it's me when it really isn't
Calm vibe for the Gs when they sit and listen
There's a way to break free from our mental prison
Cos they told us that we can't do it
But I'm certain that we can
I know a lot of us have been through it
But today we make a stand
Tomorrow has its own worries
Today we rise up like an eagle
Straight to the point I ain't talking bout a needle
But it's time to level up like Kakuna did to Beedrill
[Chorus]
This is how it is
Tryna balance things I'm just tryna live
How you gonna to take if you never give
How you living fake, that ain't worth the risk
This is how it is
Tryna balance things I'm just tryna live
How you gonna to take if you never give
How you living fake, that ain't worth the risk
All praise due to the most high
Give thanks for the day, thanks for this life
