[Intro] | |
We could grow | |
We could develop | |
As we know, the heaven is not a place | |
And happiness lives in the heart | |
Long as the world keep turning | |
I do years, we keep on learning | |
Ya heard? | |
[Hook] | |
Keep on learning | |
And soaking up game | |
We gon make mistakes | |
We gon go through some things | |
Keep on growing | |
Keep on soaking up game | |
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change | |
[Verse 1] | |
Nobody know it all, as soon as you think you do – that’s when you fall | |
We gotta do more than survive, we must evolve | |
Things change just when you thought you seen it all | |
We trip, we stumble but we get back and strike | |
Each day, all the way, one step at a time | |
Don’t wanna make my ego and pride make me blind | |
The elders say “when you stop growing – that’s when you die” | |
The one who gets the knowledge is the one who asked “why?” | |
Through the course of life, you gon taste some humble pie | |
But I love it – it makes me appreciate the things that I take for granted | |
Gaining insight and understanding | |
Each one, teach one, we got to pass it on | |
Keep doing the knowledge, building and had in all | |
We’re fake that need assumption | |
That nobody knows everything but everybody knows something | |
[Hook] | |
Keep on learning | |
And soaking up game | |
We gon make mistakes | |
We gon go through some things | |
Keep on growing | |
Keep on soaking up game | |
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change | |
[Verse 2] | |
Yo yo, the more you know, the more you know – you don’t know | |
And if you don’t know there’s more you can know then you won’t grow | |
What you don’t know can hurt you, discipline is a virtue | |
You gotta ask the right questions, it helps you go into cycles and cyphers and spirals | |
Information is viral, it infects you, it’s contagious and have you going through stages | |
Like deny, you don’t believe that | |
No, we didn’t do that | |
Then reality set in, there’s no disputin’ the facts | |
Yo I’m sorry if I woke you up, but we’re not open up | |
It’s like I’m smoking but I’m half the people, watch me soak it up | |
Huey said the best education is observation and participation | |
Study hard, the people be relatin’ | |
Different points of views turn bad news to good news | |
See, it’s kinda like some shoes cuz they gotta make you move | |
Treat it like organic food, make it something you can chew | |
Information you can use, make it something you can do | |
[Hook] | |
Keep on learning | |
And soaking up game | |
We gon make mistakes | |
We gon go through some things | |
Keep on growing | |
Keep on soaking up game | |
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change | |
[Interlude] | |
Aye man, it’s okay to say you don’t know | |
That’s when you let go your ego | |
You’re free from all illusion, dig? | |
Can’t make moves in confusion | |
Don’t look for conflict, man | |
Always look for the solution | |
And my pop said “humility is a sign of wisdom” | |
But to really soak it in, now that’s a different kind of listening | |
See man sharpen man | |
And every day is another lesson | |
And it’s not fair you only learn man | |
It’s a blessing | |
And as the Buddha says, “nothing lasts forever” | |
You gotta manage your expectations | |
The less we pray, the less we suffer | |
And this way we awaken | |
Right understanding | |
Right thought | |
Right speech | |
Right action | |
Right livelihood | |
Right effort | |
Right mindfulness | |
Right focus | |
Keep soaking | |
Soak it up | |
[Hook] | |
Keep on learning | |

We gon make mistakes | |
We gon go through some things | |
Keep on growing | |
Keep on soaking up game | |
