Breathe
Breathe soul into the words
Breathe life into the beat
Speak
Speak truth into the air
Speak love into their ears
Listen
Listen with intention
Listen to those who've lacked affection, pay attention
Pay attention to life
Walk with purpose
Know what you deserve is
Joy, love
Heartache
Heart break
Learn from your mistakes
Take a break
It's ok to sit back
And watch the world go by
But never simply lose your will to try
Let fear motivate you
Let doubt push you forward
Lift weights with ease
Don't forget to bless your trees
And water your own grass
And remember to have your own back
And it's not always easy being a leader
Being stuck in a role as a teacher
But always the student
Always making new rules
Finding new tools
Building new schools
Lending lessons like leprechauns lending luck
To sistas silently suffering stuck in systems slowly sustaining stuck
But oh well
You place rhymes on a beat
They groove and move feet
Never afraid to accomplish the feat
Always knowing that something remains deep
Always making you want to leap
Soar high
Touch the sky
Land among the stars
Aim at new heights
Be the dreamer you have always wanted to be
Learn to be your own friend
Change the channel
Tune into you
Tune into you
Tune into you
And you'll always shine through
The good and the bad
The great balancing act
Smile and frown
You're up, you're down
Before the saddest of clowns
After you're a butterfly with wings now
Fly out to the sky and never lose focus
And never forget to stop and smell the roses
Sincerely
Your future
