DESCRIPTION:
verse 1
free yourself from those not-tos, damn sure it's not you,
working your ass off, cant afford some dog food
your labrador is sitting next to you at the laundry shop
waiting for his first meal in two days, it's been piling up
i gotta keep myself from punching you, it's nothing personal
but what you been doing this shit is irrational
where's your guitar man? you're supposed to do
with that stratocaster nobody was just as good as you
this is from one man to another
no one is free from distress or being bothered
but i hate watching one's inner flame just getting smothered
yo brother, pick up your guitar and bring it on a
a big stage, a small gig or even on this sidewalk
we're building it from scratch, just starting with this ipod
trust me man, we gon be spitting in the booth soon
just hang in there a minute, this one gonna suit you

hook
i gotta keep myself keep myself from doing it
i gotta keep it up keep up my imagining
it's free it's free
at least i have something to keep me doing my thing
i gotta keep myself keep myself from doing it
i gotta keep it up keep up my imagining
it's free it's free
at least i have something that really matters to me

verse 2
ay yo look man, i know you're trying and i appreciated
but life is hard-knocked, not the way we used to made it
there is routine, day in and day out
i can barely go to sleep without some payroll taxes to file
it's not mine anyway, i cant afford myself
Amanda left me, watched me burn and rotten in hell
and my guitar? maybe i could have sold it
the loan sharks are out there, i need something to show 'em
but nuh uh, this is from one man to another
life is sometimes, we have no choice but taking orders
maybe just another day at some Wendy's drive-thru
then I knew, it wasnt wise to drop out of high school
as a matter of fact
all i have to do is keep my sorry life on the track
and LSD, im trying to relieve myself of pain
now that's why here i am, talking to myself again

hook
i gotta keep myself keep myself from doing it
i gotta keep it up keep up my imagining
it's free it's free
at least i have something to keep me doing my thing
i gotta keep myself keep myself from doing it
i gotta keep it up keep up my imagining
it's free it's free
at least i have something that really matters to me
