It's been a long journey, a long road |
| [00:23.80] |
Filled with potholes and obstacles |
| [00:26.60] |
I've fallen so many times |
| [00:28.69] |
It forged character though, and growth in my rhymes |
| [00:32.09] |
Now when I fall, I'm older |
| [00:33.83] |
Get up, smile, brush the dirt off of my shoulders |
| [00:36.99] |
I used to do things the hard way |
| [00:39.03] |
Today, I pray -And listen to what God say |
| [00:42.33] |
The path for my life is laid out for me |
| [00:44.14] |
You could rest in peace right be carrying the torch homie |
| [00:47.69] |
To all the people that got love for me: |
| [00:49.65] |
I push on |
| [00:50.50] |
And try to write our stories |
| [00:52.31] |
These are the days for constant building |
| [00:54.76] |
Construct futures for all of our children |
| [00:57.42] |
Make cash, make it last |
| [00:59.66] |
You know how fast them days will pass, in a flash |
| [01:03.35] |
The sands in the hour glass slip through your fingers |
| [01:05.77] |
Cause you never got a grasp |
| [01:07.74] |
Get a grip |
| [01:08.93] |
Get it straight |
| [01:09.78] |
Or else you'll let it slip |
| [01:10.84] |
And you'll never elevate |
| [01:12.21] |
Right now |
| [01:13.41] |
There's no time to waste |
| [01:14.72] |
Put your best foot forward |
| [01:16.21] |
And try to keep pace |
| [01:17.30] |
Push on |
| [01:20.48] |
All my people, you got got got to push on |
| [01:24.84] |
(on, and on, and on, and on) |
| [01:28.21] |
I built my foundation on a rock |
| [01:30.04] |
So when the winds of change come I won't fall off |
| [01:33.33] |
You see my outstretched hand |
| [01:34.94] |
Success means nothing to me, unless I share with my fam |
| [01:38.62] |
To my peeps abroad and state side: Let's make strides |
| [01:41.71] |
Make papes and change lives |
| [01:43.42] |
Create fly, tracks that change the tide |
| [01:45.37] |
So maybe some day true art will survive |
| [01:48.11] |
I am here, to pioneer a brand new pathway |
| [01:51.29] |
Introduce you to God, in these last days |
| [01:54.10] |
Everybody's attitude is so cumbersome |
| [01:56.23] |
Run their whole life never knowin' what they're running from |
| [01:59.09] |
So stop for a second take a look |
| [02:01.04] |
And listen to the wisdom that is written in the book |
| [02:04.09] |
Get a grip |
| [02:05.45] |
Get it straight |
| [02:06.30] |
Or else you'll let it slip |
| [02:07.39] |
And you'll never elevate |
| [02:08.75] |
- Right now - |
| [02:09.90] |
There's no time to waste |
| [02:11.14] |
Put your best foot forward |
| [02:12.34] |
And try to keep pace |
| [02:13.65] |
Push on |
| [02:17.15] |
All my people, you got got got to push on |
| [02:21.97] |
(on, and on, and on, and on) |
| [02:24.73] |
Through a smoke screen of hopes for C.R.E.A.M |
| [02:26.71] |
Have you floatin' down a stream full of broken dreams |
| [02:29.84] |
They call it main but it's really just a scheme |
| [02:32.06] |
To get you all locked where no one can hear you scream |
| [02:34.53] |
Mos Def said it best: It's a better built cell block |
| [02:37.51] |
Where they put you to death if you don't sell hot records |
| [02:40.71] |
But see we changin' that too |
| [02:42.26] |
Big business hip-hop we aimin' at you |
| [02:45.15] |
If they puttin' out garbage - Don't buy it |
| [02:47.50] |
Remember one stone took down the giant |
| [02:50.49] |
Have faith like David and Goliath |
| [02:52.56] |
Avoid the bias, and keep your mind pious |
| [02:55.55] |
Get a grip |
| [02:56.79] |
Get it straight |
| [02:57.65] |
Or else you'll let it slip |
| [02:58.85] |
And you'll never elevate |
| [03:00.04] |
Right now |
| [03:01.30] |
There's no time to waste |
| [03:02.55] |
Put your best foot forward |
| [03:04.00] |
And try to keep pace |
| [03:05.14] |
