Making Progress

歌詞

Chorus: We keep embellishing upon the new unchartered path Expressing what we see and how we comprehend the math So there's enough for everyone we gotta make it last We gotta make it last As I embark on life's journey from the point where im at Piece to everyone I know and who I go way back with Every pimp, every mack Every gangstar, the Jack Every hustler feeding babies Anybody pro-black Every sister raising kids without the help of a dad Wanting for they're children all the things that they never had All the brothers handling businesses, I know shit's hard Wakin up at 5 a.m. holding down 3 jobs All my Rasta bretheren getting insight from trees To my brothers up in college getting PHD's Or any other degree Even if you just reading for mental health Feed your conscious so that your mind is free All my people locked down for your past mistakes Mentally and spiritually dwelling past the gates You can change your ways Elevate today To all recovered alcoholics chillin up in AA Every black-owned business keep doin for self Helpin out the community and spreadin the wealth Understanding help aint gonna come from nowhere else Revolutionary's fakin me and just get dealt With head on black people got to lead the task Educate keep learnin', got to question, ask And let your light keep shinin and remember the past By any means necessary you'll be free at least Chorus As I embark on life's journey from the point where I'm at Peace to everybody strivin to live right and exact Even though anxieties try to pull you down See your troubles as a blessing and you're homeward bound Everybody gotta struggle, that's the way of the world Can't develop biceps if you don't do curls Can't achieve a garden if you never water your crops If you never pay your dues then you don't get props Can't eat a proper meal without cooking it first Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work If it wasn't for the rain then the trees won't grow When the spring came 'round what a site to bestow When you face adversities, dark cloud won't last If you never study how do you expect to pass? The grasshoppers laid around while the ants did chores When the winter came around he was left outdoors See the cycle keeps moving like a big machine Evolution of the mind, soul, body and being God'll never put up on you more than you can take Sometimes you even gotta learn from other people's mistakes With head on black people got to lead the task Educate keep learnin', got to question, ask And let your light keep shinin and remember the past By any meeans necessary you'll be free at least Chorus
