Track 1

lyrics

I remember as a young'n, butterflies in my stomach
Mouth dryin' up and my pulse steadily thumpin'
Before I would get on stage to say somethin'
Runnin' back memorized lines for the hundredth
Time through my mind and go try without stumblin'
A journey for the ages with layers like an onion
Cuttin' to the core and pour tears in abundance
It's who I am as a man, yeah, I love it
I've been buildin' up a resumé, legacy long-lasting
Basking in glory with a hunger like I'm fasting
Keep on killin' it and murdering shows
'Til my recognition's bigger than maternity clothes
I birth a verse, deliver it like a doula
My medulla oblongata got me movin' through the future
A long time comin' since sellin' songs on a Memorex
Started gettin' checks, makin' moves seldom second-guessed
Yes

Every now and then ya gotta get up and just go for broke
When everything is burnin', workin' through the smoke
Shake it off, take the reigns
Lookin' out from day to day
Pushin' on to make your way

From the place where we shiver and chill and winters can kill
A state first built off o' timber and mills
Twenty plus years since I entered the game
I just hope the Twin Cities will remember my name
Forgin' a lane to the fortune and fame
Until my bones decompose as a corpse in a grave
A star like treetops where ornaments hang
Carryin' the torch and the flame through torture and pain
Militant millennial, middle finger to federals
Spittin' as I listen to the beat like a stethoscope
Major misgivin's, but fightin' with fists risen
Hustlin' and bustlin', up against this system
Meticulous, mind of an obsessive
Life's like a gameshow and I am the contestant
Win some, lose some, takin' a chance
Whether or not I got me an ace in my hands
Man

Is there anything left to say, or am I just left speechless?
I'm not sure what's next or when it all ceases
It's been a long time now, but I always come back to
How I first felt puttin' pen to the pad, the emotions I had and everything after

Every now and then ya gotta get up and just go for broke
When everything is burnin', workin' through the smoke
Shake it off, take the reigns
Lookin' out from day to day
Pushin' on to make your way

Every now and then ya gotta get up and just go for broke
When everything is burnin', workin' through the smoke
Shake it off, take the reigns
Lookin' out from day to day
Pushin' on to make your way
