Give A Man A Fish Lyrics - 3 Years 5 Months & 2 Days In The Life Of-- - Arrested Development

Lately I've been in a life like limbo 

Looking out of a smudged up window 

We're not sure where our lives are going 

Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in 

Don't know where our next dollar's coming from 

Living the life of a poor musician 

Headliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5 

Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying alive 

If it wasn't for the rhythm 

I think we would have given up by now 

This system has gotten the best of me 

Now I pray for God to invest in me 

My dignity, invest his glory 

Give me the strength so I can finish the story 

Keep on searching for the right way to go out 

Coz going out is what it's all about 

Huh! You can't be passive, gotta be active 

Can't go with what looks attractive 

Gotta learn all I can while I'm able 

Headliner expresses his feeling on those turntables 

When we get our chance 

To make a good living of the music we program 

We don't sell out just to be sold out 

Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about 

Coz if they take away our contract 

We still got talent and we still got contacts 

Coz we're worked real hard to get this far 

We were catching the bus before we bought the car 

Ya see 

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day 

Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever 

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day 

Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever 

Got to get political 

Political I gotta get 

Grown but can't hold my own 

So this government needs to be overthrown 

Brothers with the AKs and the 9 MMs 

Need to learn how to correctly shoot'em 

Save those rounds for a revolution 

Poor whites and blacks bumrushing the system 

But I tell you: Ain't no room for gangstaz 

Coz ganstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters 

Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster 

Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers 

So you you want out of the ghetto 

First the political prisoners must be let go 

And you must let go of your power master 

You'll never get out without much discipline 

Raise your fist but also raise your children 

So when you die the movement moves on 

Coz with no revolution, ain't no future in front o' y'all 

Haha yeah direct your anger, love 

Nothing's ever built on hate, instead love 

Love your life, tackle the government 

The spooks that break down the door are heaven sent 

And my phrase went 

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day 

Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever 

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day 

Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever 

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day 

Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever 

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day 

Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever
