For What It's Worth

[Intro - Sample of Tupac Shakur talking]

It so, basic that we all want to be famous and noticed and watched

And we all want money and riches and want

We all want the finest out of life

From a, from the most heartless gangbanger

To the most ah, virtuous police officer

AND we're all um, human beings

So we're all susceptible to our own weaknesses

Temptation is a very strong weakness

[Verse 1 - Skyzoo]

There's too much money in cocaine for me to be playin the broke game

Or at the nine to five with the no names

But here I be, nine to fifthin it with all of them no names

Tryin to figure out who I'm gon' blame

For where I be and where I be is nothin that I ever dreamed

Everything I'm turnin into was never me

None of this was scripted

Or maybe it was and I was too blind to get this

And maybe because I was too blind to get this

I threw it to the street

But look at me, I'm makin up excuses as we speak

See the reality of it is, it's easier to be cold out then bundled in

And he who be on the slow route is runnin thin

Or so it seems and now I'm treadmillin my life on a lower speed

All that really matters is a profit

Tomorrow I handle the aftermath of how I got it

Fuck all of the worryin and all of the second guessin

I don't got time to deal with a second question

Life is what you make it be and everything in life is shaped to be

I vow to turn it 'round and then bow gracefully

Not enough reasons to say no

And too many reasons to say yes and I ain't pressed to say so

Been dealin with the same dollar and the same dream

Lost between Plans A and B

[Chorus - Skyzoo] - w/ ad libs

And this is for what it's worth

I'm just tryin to be what I can be

I'm just tryin to be what I can be

But it feels like time keeps walkin

Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me

Huh, so for what it's worth

I'm just tryin to make what I can make

I'm just tryin to make what I can make

But it feels like time keeps talkin

Time keeps talkin and I don't understand what it say

[Verse 2 - Skyzoo]

There's too much money in heroin for me to pretend to be negligent

I'm ignorin it more than I ever did

And I can't lie, they say all it take is time to better it

But my clock is lookin foreverish

Like why can't I, be blessed with a more blessed set of wings

I see less as more or less everything

More or less everything that I ever wanted is all gone

And replaced with what I've been runnin from all along

So why even entertain the chase?

Why even pretend I was built to stay in this race?

The truth is my Swedish dream

Is so far from my hands that I don't even reach

I'm so far from a plan that right now, anything'll do

'Cause if the lullabies that the corner sing is true

Then hit the play button and I'll be down until it's gone

All the hopes that use to be become the sounds within the songs

And with that said, I say "Good Morning America"

Say it once more just in case it wasn't clear enough

"Good Morning America", this is what your dreams are made from

As well as what your dreams could break from

Ignorin all the risks, all the cops, all the enemies

All the nameless bullets that could be namelessly sent to me

All the fame from pullin it and all of the fame

From bein on the wrong side, which one do you claim?

[Chorus - Skyzoo] - w/ ad libs

For what it's worth

I'm just tryin to be what I can be

I'm just tryin to be what I can be

But it feels like time keeps walkin

Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me

Huh, so for what it's worth

I'm just tryin to make what I can make

I'm just tryin to make what I can make

But it feels like time keeps talkin

Time keeps talkin and I don't understand what it say

[Verse 3 - Skyzoo]

Turned down every offer I was given

Regardless of the wrath or the temp, I'm pivot

And I'm just tryin to keep it straight and narrow

But I'm seein Satan's arrow and it's hard not to get hit with it

I'm duckin low and prayin that it all pays at the finish line

And that I don't have to pay for it when it's dinner time

But bein honest, left never looked so right

And that corner never looked so bright

The outcome ain't worth tryin not to be not outdone

Outrun what you can but where you run out from'll

Always be your home base

Until you lookin back home with a stone face

All the shit that you fall for is twinge with your dreams, all gone

You question if your questions were all wrong

You seein how it changed, each side of the game

'Cause your pink slips is they bullets, neither got a name, damn

[Chorus - Female Singer]

For what it's worth

I'm just tryin to be what I can be

I'm just tryin to be what I can be

But it feels like time keeps walkin

Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me

For what it's worth

I'm just tryin to make what I can make

I'm just tryin to make what I can make

But it feels like time keeps talkin

Time keeps talkin and I don't understand what it say
