Dave East - OUT THE WAY Lyrics

Time
Use it wisely
Don't waste it

The passion I possessed done outlasted doubters and critics
10,000 hours surpass, count the minutes, don't judge the image
Most my scars, they not visible
Pain that'll stop a business, bring rain that cause traffic
Just painting a the proper picture, vodka-sippers
Hypocritically quoting Islamic scripture
Seen Isrealites on 25th, right where the cops will frisk us
High percentage of my type do time and don't get it back
Food poisoning, salmonella, digesting shit that was trash
I guess it come with it the taste of this life, it becomes acquired
Wasn't built to stop, don't get yourself high, like Richard Pryor
As I watched the blimp, tell me that the world is mine
I wouldn't have took Manolo out, I wouldn't have screamed on Sosa line
I wouldn't have overdid it with the coke, or kill a sober mind
You never supposed to cross a boss and like Tony, I know the lines
The wind blowing through the palm trees as God whispers
Mama had the softest heart, somehow she made a hard nigga

Dodging bad energy and vibes
I'm staying out the way
Every week, I hear somebody die
I'm staying out the way
Get my money, take it back inside
I'm staying out the way
The worst thing you could ever waste is time
I'm staying out the way
Ask me where I've been, I'm with my kids
I'm staying out the way
You think I'm hiding, I'll show you where I live
I'm staying out the way
I don't want your blunt, don't want your cut
I'm staying out the way
If you know me, then you know what's up
I'm staying out the way

I hope you wash your hands before you dap me, I got kids to hold
My youngest been here two years, ain't nothin like my six year old
Jay a teenager, I done raised him since he three
Free Travis, funny, niggas never miss you if you free
Suck a duck and ask me how I been
I'm cool, don't act too concerned
You got too cozy at that table, till that table turn
Staying out the way, far away from all the bullshit
Avoiding all these make believe robbers that never took shit

Hope you brush your teeth before you talk, cause it's important
Hope your kids got them Jordans, if you got them Jordans
Hope you hit your mother off with more than just a portion
Know that being bold out here is the shit that favors fortune
Smokin on my own strand, coughing, minding my business
These industry niggas funny, I'd rather chill with my children
Miss me with that Let's do a record, take down my number shit
It's crazy most the hate you receive is from all the love you get

Dodging bad energy and vibes
I'm staying out the way
Every week, I hear somebody die
I'm staying out the way
Get my money, take it back inside
I'm staying out the way
The worst thing you could ever waste is time
I'm staying out the way
Ask me where I've been. I'm with my kids
I'm staying out the way
You think I'm hiding, I'll show you where I live
I'm staying out the way
I don't want your blunt, don't want your cut
I'm staying out the way
If you know me, then you know what's up
I'm staying out the way"
