A friend once told me, and he’s one of the best
”Take what ya need and leave the rest.”
I know it’s a mouthful, to some it’s a test
But whenever I do it, I really feel blest.
I ain’t sayin’ take everybody’s advice
But if ya use what ya take, ya just might think twice.

I believe in the Blessed Three,
At times I feel they talk through me;
Believe what you want, that’s your right;
As long as it works, you’ll sleep tonight.

What you ain’t got, ain’t supposed to be yours
Do what’s in front of ya’, accept all your chores.
Don’t be lookin’ for them “Getting’ rich quick schemes.”
Just be patient, those ain’t your real dreams.
”Take your luck as it comes, yeah, fit yourself to it.”
If it’s there, it feels right, well, ya’ better just do it.
