Get Sharp

I know a couple jokes

But none as funny as the truth

I know some good folks

And some of them are just like you

I'll wear the right shoes

So I can outrun everyone

I got the right moves

Like an earthworm in the sun

I gotta get sharp, get sharp

Cut in line right to the best part, best part

Won't be long until we're dead hard, dead hard

Oh, my God

That's the feeling when my fingers go numb

That's the feeling when the feeling is gone

I'm gonna quit drugs

Stop drinking

Start reading books

I'll do a lot of thinking

I'll raise a couple kids

And teach them how to live

The way my mommy taught me before I hit the skids

I'll get my hair cut

Buy a cheap suit

I'll change the paystub

'Cause it's what I gotta do

Don't try to get hard

At a 9:00 to 5:00

Behind a desk in a high-rise filing cabinet in the sky

Don't wait too long

Dream's almost done

You're waking

It's time to wake up

Don't wait too long

Dream's almost done

You're waking

It's time to wake up

Time to wake up

I gotta get sharp, get sharp

Cut in line right to the best part, best part

Won't be long until we're dead hard, dead hard

Oh, my God

That's the feeling when my fingers go numb

That's the feeling when the feeling is gone

Maybe it's my slack or lack of motivation or whatever

(Whatever)

I've never had a daddy tell me get my shit together

I gotta get sharp
