[00:21.48] |
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] |
