Lyrics
[Intro: [?]] [?] haha, yeah Yeah yeah I don't know why all these people want to wait their life away There ain't no time for fooling around Grab life by the horns, ha ha ha Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day (grab that [?] horns) [DJ Morgs AND/OR Tommy Fiasko] [Tuka] Born ravenous, broke like poor scavengers The maverick, living off dope and raw cabbages Catalyst armed with a pen and a page Tryna generate change by the end of the day [?] keep it tight like when I speak into the mic If I get lucky you might see me leaving with your wife Nah, I'm joking, don't stress, bro I wouldn't do that, well, unless you said so Let's go, maybe taking it down But right now I'm on stage laying it down Making a vow to the people who relate to the sound Real recognize real, there's no faking allowed Instead of playing it out I could get in [?] My sole purpose is taking control and breaking the mould Reshaping the art—asking what's happening next? As the hair stands up on the back of your necks [Jeswon] I got no need for sorrow or to rest on my laurels And I won't seek solace at the bottom of a bottle Jes will never grovel for a piece of the pie 'Stead I'll make my own cake, now I'm eating a slice The reason I write is precisely to free my brain It's like Carpe Diem, so I seize the day Till I reach the place where dead poets await I make tracks, if they're whack then I throw 'em away Start from scratch, most MC's hardly rap They can't adapt or see past party tracks So now I'm asking, "What type of art is that?" We're tryna keep it more realer than a heart attack Cardiac arrest who? Pretenders who stress me out Talk shit then you best be out Check me out, I'm here to kick rhymes with mates Right away, there ain't no time to waste [Jeswon & Tuka] When things are not what they seem Artful dodgers are on the scene Bob and weave till we can't be seen Until the gang's at your gate screaming "Carpe Diem" When things are not what they seem Artful dodgers are on the scene Bob and weave till we can't be seen Until the gang's at your gate screaming "Carpe Diem" Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day Seize the day [DJ Morgs AND/OR Tommy Fiasko] "Don't play" "Check it out" "Check it—Check it out" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, seize the day" "Don't play" "Check it out" "Check it—Check it out" "Listen" "Listen" "Listen" "Listen"
