"5 Second Rule" lyrics
Abhi The Nomad & Illmac Lyrics
(feat. Wax)
Mama said you hit rock bottom that's just life-testing you
Got it out the mud and now we eatin, it's the 5-second rule
Mama said you hit rock bottom that's just life-testing you
Got it out the mud and now we eatin, it's the 5-second rule
Rock bottom's just the place from which you start your ascent
You want dollars gotta start with a cent
Wanna have a breakthrough gotta start with a dent
If it don't break? New ways you start to invent
Since I started many artists came and artists went
Learned first hand what the phrase "starvin artist" meant
When you work for your food eatin makes your heart content
Thats why when people give opinions on me I don't give no argument
I protect my energy I gotta guard the vent
Can't clog the conduit through which all of this art gets sent
If I tell 'em anything I tell 'em all git bent
Old school insults I often pen
Anyway
I learned a lot of lessons... got some wisdom now
Advice to the youth, I like to give some out
I wish that I was smarter when I started out
Get your notebooks out class and mark this down
Mama said you hit rock bottom that's just life-testing you
Got it out the mud and now we eatin, it's the 5-second rule
Mama said you hit rock bottom that's just life-testing you
Got it out the mud and now we eatin, it's the 5-second rule
I got it out the dirt I been growing, some people got a greener housing
But get stilted if the grounding is a turbulent home
Used to be Poe I'm fine with burning the coal, to find diamonds
Chasing dead faces rhyming like the curse of the crow
Purposely grown to fit my father, he's an arbor that's a burden to hold
A spinning spindle on the dirt in the road, hurdling over any obstacles thrown
A whole oak, surviving the wildfires, end up surfacing home, that's how you know
Got it out the dirt that I've grown
Trynna Monetize these problems I might work to the bone
On all these fossilized traumas I polish that turn into stone
Colonize Andromeda, I gotta leave earth to come home
Been distant lately had to disappear
Sippin hazy but my vision clear
In a twist of fate, watch never crying over milk spillin take me to a different tier
Rub a nickel to a quarter and anticipate our biggest year, yea
Got it out the mud and now we eatin, it's the 5-second rule
Mama said you hit rock bottom that's just life-testing you
Got it out the mud and now we eatin, it's the 5-second rule
Rock bottom's just the place from which you start your ascent
You want dollars gotta start with a cent
Wanna have a breakthrough gotta start with a dent
If it don't break? New ways you start to invent
Since I started many artists came and artists went
Learned first hand what the phrase "starvin artist" meant
When you work for your food eatin makes your heart content
Thats why when people give opinions on me I don't give no argument
I protect my energy I gotta guard the vent
Can't clog the conduit through which all of this art gets sent
If I tell 'em anything I tell 'em all git bent
Old school insults I often pen
Anyway
I learned a lot of lessons... got some wisdom now
