Tearing down the path mad fast in a mad dash Like a badass until I hit a bad patch Almost had a bad crash, yes it’s true Turned into a sad sack stressed and blue Then I had a flashback of two cats who asked When you're strapped for cash why choose to rap? Why go through that? What if you’re too wack? We’ll take the chance for the love, never lose that Can I get a true that? (True that) That’s that Forgot where we started let the mood get too black Get a new crew track, get the groove back Leftwrite, Vishnu, boom bap and a few laugh Time to time you get caught in the grind Tired, uninspired, distraught in your mind Working overtime, trying to climb Uphill and be ill but your skills decline When you're inclined to whine and be resigned To the bottom line, and just try to sign On the dotted line, you gotta realign The goal you hold with your soul and shine Press rewind Best be reminded of stress free times Leave behind any mess we find Lest we undermine fresh beats and rhymes The quest to the shrine is one steep climb Every track must impress and be sublime Coalesce the skill and the will divine They must not divide they must be combined The heart is the ark where the spark resides Leave that part in the dark and the art will die Cut the root and the fruit withers on the vine Don't blind the third eye leave it open wide Keep all the plates spinning Keep calm and keep grinning Keep living and loving Keep forgiving, keep sinning now Wear many hats and play many roles Seek to achieve peace, reach peaks Learn, teach, and touch souls No time to rest my head Get out of bed Get my daughter dressed and fed Kiss the wife, I see her off to work This is where my idleness often lurks Toys and cartoons, books and chalk A mini me, see the ways she looks and talks It’s hard to record when she wants to play She’s stuck in fast forward Can I pause today? Hope and pray, nope, no way She read Dr. Seuss, I wrote two eights Lay her down for a nap and lay down the track I’m an acrobat practicing my balancing act Rap and sing for the love and cuz I got the knack I’m a Big Papa and I got my swagger back With Vishnu, this crew serving up a fresh stew A dish brewed using better produce than the rest do But still not here to impress you Just blessed to make tunes and express truth We are youthful spirits with old souls Cold coals cook no kettles (Heat it up) Roaring waters won’t settle (Stir it up) We’re speaking through speakers (Turn it up) Eager to be heard, doing what we love to make a buck Baby girl is waking up, I better get to making lunch I need to help out more around the house And do some laundry ‘cause there’s a bunch Little lady’s telling me that she wants to play outside It’s late October but the weather’s still nice Hit her with the bug spray cause in the country We gotta fight fleas, ticks, and lice A slight breeze knocked down by my trees Dances with my daughter in a shower of leaves It’s hard to believe what can be achieved My earbuds are bumping Vishnu’s new beat The melody’s sweet and the drums are slapping It’s on repeat maybe lyrics will happen My kid is laughing and chasing the dog I’m getting work done so it’s a good day off If the hard work’s fun then it could pay off If my head stays hard and my heart stays soft She wants to hear what I put in my ear So I say, “Come here,” and I give her a listen It makes her smile, she starts to groove Hands in the air, her soul position Pure joy in a moment Our sole possession, we own it She teaches me what it is to be Completely free with eyes open Lyrics leap into my mind and mouth Let’s go inside, I need to write these down Dinner, bath, book, snack, and a little TV Snuggles on the couch and now she’s off to sleep Kiss the wife, now off of work This is where my gratitude often lurks My music, my life, my kid, my wife My fam, my crew, my love, my truth My youth is passed down to my youth My truth is passed down in this booth Today was a good day, just like Cube said Get into bed, time to rest my head Keep all the plates spinning Keep calm and keep grinning Keep living and loving Keep forgiving, keep sinning now Wear many hats and play many roles Seek to achieve peace, reach peaks Learn, teach, and touch souls Keep all the plates spinning Keep calm and keep grinning Keep living and loving Keep forgiving, keep sinning now Wear many hats and play many roles Seek to achieve peace, reach peaks Learn, teach, and touch souls
