Do What It Takes

Inspired by "Where you come 
from" instrumental.
Cats & Dogs record by Evidence 
of Dilated Peoples.

Some dream of nine digit 
account in a bank,
I take the music & do what it 
takes,
Some just rely blindly on their 
fate,
He play the hand with the cards 
right & raise the stakes.

Precision is the detail that's 
making a difference,
A long term investment to 
cover the distance,
With the right vision one 
doesn't need the guidance,
We just keep moving with our 
past left behind us.

Paths cross we collide with a 
blast on the impact,
With whatever's left we ride to 
the sunset,
Pursuing our dreams, pursuing 
our goals,
Some got plenty. He got the 
one that he chose.

It's the one & only thing to 
make him happy,
That's why he does all it takes 
to make it happen,
Letter by letter he just goes 
note by note,
Interpreting the music with the 
words worth to quote.


Some dream of being praised & 
accolades,
I take the music, do what it 
takes,
Some choose to blah blah & go 
for debates,
He got the courage speaking 
his thoughts face to face.

Integrity's the key core 
component,
If you got it, you got respect 
among the opponents,
If you rotten inside your head, 
rotten inside your heart,
You plotting your little 
schemes, watching em fall 
apart,

Go sharpen your little teeth, try 
to rip out a piece of me,
Blood is a deadly poison, rest in 
a grave peacefully,
Thought of "Why so?" But it still 
remains mystery,
Whiskey quiets  voices in the 
head "Quit whispering"

One and only goal worth your 
time. Don't forget!
Every single voice agrees on 
that, inside the head!
The maverick. Alcoholic 
beverage in a teetotaler's 
throat
Interpreting the music with the 
words worth to quote.
