I know a couple jokes
But none as funny as the truth
I know some good folks
And some of them are just like you
I'll wear the right shoes
So I can outrun everyone
I got the right moves
Like an earthworm in the sun

I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Won't be long until we're dead hard, dead hard
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when my fingers go numb
That's the feeling when the feeling is gone
I'm gonna quit drugs
Stop drinking
Start reading books
I'll do a lot of thinking
I'll raise a couple kids
And teach them how to live
The way my mommy taught me before I hit the skids

I'll get my hair cut
Buy a cheap suit
I'll change the paystub
'Cause it's what I gotta do
Don't try to get hard
At a 9:00 to 5:00
Behind a desk in a high-rise filing cabinet in the sky

Don't wait too long
Dream's almost done
You're waking
It's time to wake up

Don't wait too long
Dream's almost done
You're waking
It's time to wake up
Time to wake up

I gotta get sharp, get sharp
Cut in line right to the best part, best part
Won't be long until we're dead hard, dead hard
Oh, my God
That's the feeling when my fingers go numb
That's the feeling when the feeling is gone

Maybe it's my slack or lack of motivation or whatever
(Whatever)
I've never had a daddy tell me get my shit together
I gotta get sharp
