Actin' Strange by Balance Brothers

Well I’m not trying to be a rapper just mastering my life but I’ve been writing rhymes since I was 20 more than half my life
So puff puff pass it to the left somebody pass me the mic you’re never past your prime if you practice your craft right
It’s a crime of passion plus a crying shame when people put their passions off for practical purposes and die in vain
anyway, Back to the topic at hand life could knock you off balance right where you stand
please understand the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry and leave you sinking in sand
So watch the ground you step on the steps you take in for your sake don’t learn about respect too late
don’t hesitate when it comes to testing time in tempting fate those could be the moments that make us if we don’t break
And bless every breath you take there’s high stakes in this game of death that we all play
got Bruce Lee moves like all day king cobra non-venomous snakes please go away
We over here spitting life like all day all praise do is all good but remember to get your dues paid

hook

Cheers to independent pens and independent women 
independent men don’t depend on those pretending
Bars stay tending
Got tendencies don’t need to mention
Suspension of belief I quantum leap in three dimensions
4 directions 
Now we cold chilling Northwestin'
I’m from the Northeast 
Found peace spirit questing
No question
or guessing when it’s time to keep pressing 
I’ve got the kind of fortitude you find in your intestines
Gut checking
Your best to Protect ya mid section 
Breath control affecting the endurance life is testing 
Beat sessions 
Blessed with respect for expression 
Crane & Medore 
Balance Brothers show progression 
Life lessons
Applied to Show improvement 
That’s the essence 
Tried and true Styles and Methods 
Come correct
And For the record
All my interest is reinvested
Removed the weight of debt collection for a second
As I step in to
Another phase of introspection
Mask required as I face my imperfections
Sick and tired of the uninspired days I crave connection
Paving my way paying dues just reflecting
