Lyrics

Lesson learned
We all get got
Don't get too hot
Don't guess and learn

When it comes to you
Try not to get too hot
Because at some point in everyone's life
We all get got by institutions

In insurance, finance, medicine, or judicial officials
Working angles with the practice grin
We all get tricked, slick,ed had our pockets picked
From telephone scams to email spams

Every little hustle's quick
From Sally in the alley to Homers on the corners
To political jokers in political fields
Performing for the donors

Trying to rebrand the same old BS
As some new art to the deal
Take a breath, check the fine print
Ask yourself how real is real

We all get got
Yeah, it happens to the best of us
Sometimes we lose faith and awareness
Of who and what to trust

We get, we get perplexed by the mix
Get lost in the sauce
We all get got
But y'all get hip to the game

That's the cost
Don't be too ashamed
Don't look for someone else to blame
Everybody takes a wrong turn

While they're learning how to play the game
Read the room, read the receipts
Read the words beneath the shine
Somebody's always selling certainty

With a deadline and a sign still
The slickest pitch can catch a careful mind
How the world moves fast
Leaves a question mark behind

So if the lesson becomes expensive
Let the wisdom stay
Keep your head up, laugh a little
Then move wiser the next day

Look, one hand shakes
While the other counts the change
Fine print dancing like it's trying to rearrange
Phone rings, inboxing

Somebody wants your name
New suit, old hustle, same familiar game
But I won't sit frozen
I won't feed the shame

I'll take notes, lock the door
And remember the frame
Everybody gets surprised
Everybody gets crossed

The win is finding what you learned from the loss
We all get got
Yeah, it happens to the best of us
Sometimes we lose faith and awareness

Of who and what to trust
We get, we get perplexed by the mix
Get lost in the sauce
We get got

But y'all get up to the game
That's the cause of
Why not to get too hot
You can chuckle when you say it

Somewhere down the line
We all get got
We all get got
We all get got

Let the hard lesson make you tough
Keep your eyes open wide
But don't let caution close you up
We get, we get perplexed by the mix

Get lost in the sauce
We get got
We get got
And we come back wiser than before the loss

Lesson learned
We all get got
We all get got
Try not to get too hot

Lesson learned
