letra de quit while you're ahead - collectivepov

(sample hook)
you better quit while you’re ahead
that’s what i said
or you’re better off dead
you better quit while you’re ahead

(verse 1)
look at these -ssholes, just rapping to spit
they only manage to say something every half of a minute
they’re either mumbling, or screaming, like they’re having a fit
kids are nodding along, but where the magic in this?
if you’re given a mic, you should be touching a life
’cause a lot of people listen when they run out of fight
and they’re looking to escape when the struggle is tight
so be the guiding light when they are running at night
“but naw, f-ck it, i’d rather rap about my d-ck
money laid out in stacks, and now i’m mackin’ on your b-tch
hop in the mustang with automatic clips
i’m about to make a double platinum with this ish”
well, i guess now, that’s what’s the industry’s standard
feels like everyone is overlooking really what matters
lyricism? naw, gimme beats and the braggards
you’re taking art form to twist the meaning of it backwards

(sample hook)
you better quit while you’re ahead
that’s what i said
or you’re better off dead
you better quit while you’re ahead

(verse 2)
there’s people now-a-days in their comfortable routines
never doing nothing, never pushing to new scenes
it’s meat and potatoes, like a typical poutine
i try to call them out for living a fool’s dream
they’re rarely philosophically driven
yet they’re always so excited when they talk about wisdom
floating at the top comes with a cost to your system
you get what you deserve for not really existing
now i’m not saying you need to be in the mountains
and meditating, constantly, for days in the thousands
or that you need to have knowledge spewing like fountains
just learn something new, so you can stay grounded
it’s seeming like you’re arrogant, ent-tled as sh-t
cause you’re told that you are special, just like everyone is
no one deserves the world to fall in their lap
get up when you collapse, and that’s where growth really is

(sample hook)
you better quit while you’re ahead
that’s what i said
or you’re better off dead
you better quit while you’re ahead

(verse 3)
i’m sliding back and forth in the realm of irrelevance
but there’s many of you still respecting this revenant
reading through your comments help me relish your elegance
and that inspired me to try to resurrect eloquence
not shooting for the stars, i’m just staying at home
i’ve shifted that dream so i can stay with my own
cause over the years, i’ve grown from raging alone
to guiding other people, as we wade through the smoke
started as a teenager, angry as h-ll
hormonal and confused, i just needed to yell
now it’s eight years later, with a story to tell
i got to live my dream of having glory and wealth
and then i made the choice to slip from the lion’s den
shortly after that, i was missing the rhyming and
no matter how i tried, it felt like the lines were dead
i was so wrong to try to quit while i was ahead

(sample hook)
you better quit while you’re ahead
that’s what i said
or you’re better off dead
you better quit while you’re ahead
