[Intro]
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I don't even want to
It's how it has to be, I keep saying that
It's what it is right now, okay?
[Hook X2]
Busy is my best friend (best friend)
Some people asking me exactly what that meant
I tell them, busy is my best friend
I didn't plan it though, it's just the way it went
I spend my nights spent, and my days on edge
Anxious, can't remember my last night in the bed
Couch hopping, never said I was without options
Just that I'm locked in a perpetual round robin
More than my own home, I'm at the compound
More often in my mom's house or my car's house
On route, more than on location
Loco days spent in so many stations
Radio, bus, train, straining to sustain
Save money, save faces, to save me from much pain
Trying to gain work with something I enjoy doing
Pace myself, but really keep the ball moving
We build it so grind mode is reality
A state of mind, an elementality
You say you want it o.k., well how badly
I am gonna be honest, it's not a phase or fad to me
[Hook X2]
Busy is as busy does
That's why my schedule was plentiful and filling up
That's why my session are incredible and ill as f***
That's why my family and friends don't see me as much
"Peace" "Peace" "What's up?" "How you been?" "Staying busy you know."
"Trying to stay sane, trying to make a living, you know? "
I am away to the lab just ask my grizzly
After that it's off to the grizzly to get busy
Face buried in the screen, to keep my mind off thoughts I heard in them jeans
It's genuine at least
And my eyes are sore
Cause it's 6 am
I've been sitting there since the night before
Answer e-mails, write the law
Searching for the band called "Fuels" in the iTunes store
Life's short, time to pore it all in
Geronimo, with my soul
Rocker can sing it
[Hook X2]
My people facing hardships, trying to make deposits
Working day to day, to pay the rent, and pay the mortgage
One check away from being on the street
And my peeps were there one check ago, it's deep
When that check took a rain check
You in the rain drenched
Waiting for a bed, to get next to some heat
My peeps that got seized, try to raise them right
And at the same time, find your own place in life
Working non-stop, day and night
To accomplish what you constantly say you might
For my people that returned to school
No loans, working too
No family, and no trust fund to turn to
Independent, more strength than some could even fathom
Balancing necessities and passion
When they get so bad and no one has a hand to lend
It seems busy is your best friend
[Outro]
When you try to see a vision
Do it to the fullest extent
And busy is your best friend
When you hoping what ever you going through will just end
Busy is your best friend
When you don't want to think no more
When you hurting so bad it's in your crawl
But it would hurt even more if you stop, even for a second
Busy is your best friend
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I don't even want to
It's how it has to be, I keep saying that
It's what it is right now, okay?
