Cryptic Wisdom That Oughta Do
[Chorus]
I ain't got a whole lot but it oughta do, yeah
I want that top ten spot and that oughta do, yeah
Music is all that I've got but that oughta do, yeah
Lemme get just one more shot and that oughta do, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
[Verse 1]
I know just what my plan is, I get by and I manage
Every time I did damage taught me something and that is
What's acquired can expire, just be grateful you have it
I been all around the world, I swear my brain is an atlas
Too savage, no manners, no elbow room at my table
I was sleeping on sofas in my studio to be able
To do this, had no label backing me, this ain't no fable
I'm a workhorse in my stable, you baby it from your cradle
[Bridge]
I'm grateful for my life and I paid the price, I'm free
Because the more you've got in sight, the more that you have to be
I'm just keeping my head down, bout to tour again and head out
Always told that I'll be nothing, I'm so sorry to be a let down
I've been working on myself, am I gonna blow it? I doubt
Cause I can't afford to do that, I'm using all that I was endowed
[Chorus]
I ain't got a whole lot but it oughta do, yeah
I want that top ten spot and that oughta do, yeah
Music is all that I've got but that oughta do, yeah
Lemme get just one more shot and that oughta do, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
[Verse 2]
I've got everything I need, never been too into greed
But I do value my time, never waste it guaranteed
Some have never understood that and I made some enemies
I can't see 'em, I've got too much on my plate I've gotta eat
This is me, ain't much to it, what you see is what you get
Used to be strung out and stressed
Never knew who I'd be next, now I'm blessed
But that made me who I am, got no regrets
Do right for what I've got left and get this treasure off my chest
[Bridge]
I'm grateful for my life and I paid the price, I'm free
Because the more you've got in sight, the more that you have to be
I'm just keeping my head down, bout to tour again and head out
Always told that I'll be nothing, I'm so sorry to be a let down
I've been working on myself, am I gonna blow it? I doubt
Cause I can't afford to do that, I'm using all that I was endowed
[Chorus]
I ain't got a whole lot but it oughta do, yeah
I want that top ten spot and that oughta do, yeah
Music is all that I've got but that oughta do, yeah
Lemme get just one more shot and that oughta do, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
That oughta do, that oughta do it
[Outro]
I make do, I make do with all that I have
The less that I need more the more that I bag
But one day, oh one day, on everything I know
That I'll have the whole world and I'm not letting go
