Yeah,
life
has
a
funny
way
of
showing
you
the
truth
Ohoh,
uyeh
uyeh
Listen
close
now,
brother
It’
s
all
about
the
cycle
You
see
when
the
pot
is
full
and
the
table
is
set
Everybody
pull
up
a
chair,
they
don't
want
to
forget
They
laughing
loud,
taking
more
than
their
share
Acting
like
they
truly,
deeply,
really
care
But
watch
the
mood
change
when
the
flavor
is
gone
When
the
food
is
finished,
they
leave
you
all
alone
They
call
it
a
dirty
plate,
put
it
to
the
side
It’
s
the
way
of
the
world,
nowhere
left
to
hide

When
the
food
finished,
they
look
at
you
so
cold
Trading
in
your
friendship
for
something
they
can
hold
They
celebrate
the
harvest
but
they
hate
the
plow
Don’
t
let
their
shallow
vision
break
your
spirit
now
Ohoh,
uyeh
uyeh
Keep
your
head
high
when
they
walk
away
You’
re
worth
more
than
the
meal
you
served
yesterday
They
only
call
your
name
when
they
need
a
favor
Searching
for
the
sweetness,
the
temporary
flavor
But
once
the
supply
is
low
and
the
well
runs
dry
They
won’
t
even
look
you
straight
in
the
eye
It’
s
a
bitter
lesson
but
it’
s
one
you
must
learn
Don’
t
let
the
fire
of
their
vanity
make
you
burn
Your
value
isn’
t
tied
to
what
you
provide
It’
s
the
soul
that
you
carry,
the
goodness
inside
When
the

they

Keep
your
head
high
when
they
walk
away
You’
re
worth
more
than
the
meal
you
served
yesterday
Ask
yourself
a
question,
keep
it
deep
and
true
Do
they
value
your
heart,
or
what
they
get
from
you?
If
they
only
love
the
service
and
not
the
man
Then
they
never
really
understood
your
master
plan
Real
friends
stay
when
the
table
is
bare
They
look
at
your
worth
even
when
nothing
is
there (

So
let
them
go,
let
the
fair-weather
people
slide
Don’
t
carry
the
weight
of
their
ego
inside
Build
your
own
garden,
let
your
own
roots
grow
Surround
yourself
with
people
who
truly
know
That
you
are
a
diamond,
even
when
you
have
naught
Not
just
a
commodity
that
can
be
bought
Life
goes
on,
brother,
step
with
pride
Let
the
truth
be
your
compass,
let
it
be
your
guide
When
the
food
finished,
they
look
at
you
so
cold
Trading
in
your
friendship
for
something

They
celebrate

Don’

shallow

break

spirit
now
Ohoh,
uyeh
uyeh
Keep
your
head
high
when
they
walk
away
You’
re
worth
more
than
the
meal
you
served
yesterday
Yeah,
they
want
the
meal
but
they
don't
want
the
man
Understand,
brother,
just
understand
Life
is
a
cycle,
let
it
spin
True
worth
comes
from
deep
within
Uyeh
uyeh,
ohoh
Keep
moving,
keep
shining (
