about

This song is a rap song about putting things back where they go and leaving things better than you found them.

lyrics

Everything's got a place, Everything's got a home
Everything's got a place, So put the things back where they go
Everything's got a place, Everything's got a home
Everything's got a place, So put the things back where they go
Leave it looking better than you found it, Leave it looking better than you found it
Leave it looking better than, Leave it looking better than
Leave it looking better than, better than you found it


I used to just pick up a toy to have some Fun with it
And I'd carry it all around. Yeah, I would
Run with it
But then I'd drop it on the ground when I was
Done with it
I never Took it back to the place I had
BeGun with it

Looking back, at the time I didn't mind it
Until somehow I couldn't find it
Yeah, I was looking through my couch and then Behind it
And then that's when I was Reminded...that

chorus

These days, I Don't leave My stuff on the floor
Instead, I Put it Right back, in the drawer
This way, I'm Not Forced to go buy more
And be Spending all my Hard-earned Money at the store

So Now, you think my Life is better? yes or No?
Looking for Something there's no Searching, I already know
But that's not all, now There's less clutter, it's much Cleaner so
I'm always going to put things back where they go.

chorus

Sometimes I Come across a Mess that isn't mine.
And If I'm Asked to clean it up, I won't comPlain or whine
Cuz In the Past someOne else had to clean a Mess of mine
so this time I'll clean it Up and make it Pretty, make it Shine!

Sometimes I come across a dirty looking mirror
I like to wipe it down until the image becomes clear
And if I find a piece trash, I pick it up. you hear?
Cuz everywhere I go I want them to be Glad that I was here!
