the scoop

i'm getting intense, not talking nonsense
i made up my mind, not sitting on the fence
i don't always know the right from the wrong
i do my best to figure it out and work it out in the long
i try to do a lot, more than i can chew
balance out my ambitions, what i've got to do

DIY -- that means do it yourself
i don't sit around waiting for someone's help
i don't sit back and say good enough
keep on striving, reinventing, keeping it off the cuff
