Chasing Us - Paul Kim |
[00:21.90] |
Hold your head high |
[00:24.20] |
You will survive |
[00:27.04] |
Don't let em doubt you |
[00:30.08] |
There's nothing you can't do |
[00:33.25] |
I believe we'll succeed |
[00:36.56] |
Don't ever let em doubt you |
[00:40.31] |
You're making your dreams come true |
[00:44.14] |
I've been told that your passion's not conventional |
[00:46.08] |
Following dreams that are pre deemed as trash |
[00:48.38] |
But if they only seen half of the faces that I've encountered |
[00:50.55] |
They would testify in one voice that words is power |
[00:53.95] |
And I mean that from the bottom of my soul |
[00:56.21] |
Soldiers that I've known who reminisce on being home |
[00:58.55] |
And the music is my method of a countdown or direction |
[01:02.04] |
Lessons that I've learned that I pre-packed on a record |
[01:04.44] |
So I slow down my tempo clarify my metaphors |
[01:07.08] |
Make light of my window wage right to declare a war |
[01:10.10] |
Against the evils that have pre-screened the passionate |
[01:12.77] |
In my season I've re-teamed with my catalyst |
[01:14.90] |
Re-dreamed of an action list - so the action is |
[01:17.42] |
Exhale any past minor falls they were practices |
[01:20.04] |
And nows the real deal cause this is prime time |
[01:22.47] |
So chuck your hands up dance and baby let the lights shine |
[01:24.26] |
Hold your head high You will survive |
[01:28.62] |
Don't let em doubt you |
[01:32.24] |
There's nothing you can't do |
[01:34.94] |
I believe we'll succeed |
[01:38.40] |
Don't ever let em doubt you |
[01:42.16] |
You're making your dreams come true |
[01:45.86] |
I never said that I was the best at really anything |
[01:47.98] |
And my intentions - well that speaks for itself |
[01:50.32] |
See I fell so many times that I remember slow motion |
[01:52.94] |
What its like to have the chance to recapture all of my dreams again |
[01:55.47] |
I guess its why that I speak easily seize a pen |
[01:58.22] |
Breathe freely when beats weave at a key event |
[02:00.94] |
And that's just part of my culture my connotation |
[02:03.14] |
My respect for different genres that empowers generations of artists |
|
that were taught to be quiet but never thought of it |
[02:08.46] |
And Singers rap actors or dancers were never targeted |
[02:11.12] |
And this might fly over the heads of those who missed it |
[02:13.39] |
But for years this platform that we have was non existent |
[02:16.31] |
Much love to Anna May Wong and those who did it |
[02:18.85] |
Of course Bruce who shattered the rules of a leading actor |
[02:21.16] |
And now its after - the chapters now upon us |
[02:23.66] |
Believe in yourself and there is nothing you can't accomplish |
[02:25.18] |
Hold your head high |
[02:27.52] |
You will survive |
[02:29.83] |
Don't let em doubt you |
[02:33.60] |
There's nothing you can't do |
[02:36.26] |
I believe we'll succeed |
[02:39.63] |
Don't ever let em doubt you |
[02:43.74] |
You're making your dreams come true |
[02:47.16] |
I used to worry bout my image when I got personal |
[02:49.41] |
Making sure my flows were dope in every syllable |
[02:52.08] |
And I was taught that as a rapper I was limited |
[02:54.19] |
To the topics I could speak on - cash girls or a mix of both |
[02:57.10] |
And it was crazy that It didn't come to me sooner |
[02:59.58] |
That our craft was being barely represented |
[03:02.22] |
And so I vented through any tracklist like I needed it |
[03:04.53] |
If I can't change the game then I will sleep in it |
[03:07.56] |
And I will write from sunrise until the evening |
[03:09.87] |
In hopes that my words could touch another soul |
[03:12.07] |
And maybe that's you sitting by the negatives |
[03:14.76] |
A bunch of negativity and questions bout your relevance |
[03:17.27] |
I'm here to tell you that you're beautiful and talented |
[03:19.71] |
And don't call it quits just cause it ain't happen yet |
[03:22.58] |
A million 'likes' doesn't tell me who you are |
[03:24.86] |
|
[03:26.91] |
When you're hurt and lost don't lose your way |
[03:31.78] |
Use the hope to wash the pain away yeah |
[03:36.96] |
Theres a promise of a better day its okay |
[03:43.69] |
The best things are worth the wait |
[03:47.41] |

[03:55.22] |

[04:05.43] |
