Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause you've never been lazy
Cause you in a style
Call the shots every day
Soul Driver
Don't hurry
It's my timing
It's not your worry
And I'm taking my time
And laying my roots
Since I've been so far away
You're such a practical man
You work so hard for your living
You make me understand
That it's all in the giving
