| We keep embellishin upon a new uncharted path
|
| Expressin 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 I’m at
|
| Peace to everyone I know or who I go way back wit
|
| Every pimp every mack, every gangsta to jack
|
| Every hustler feedin babies, anybody pro-black
|
| Every sister raisin kids without the help of a dad
|
| Wantin for they children all the things that they never had
|
| All the brothers handlin business even though shit’s hard
|
| Wakin up at five A.M., holdin down three jobs
|
| All my rasta brethern gettin insight from trees
|
| To my brothers up in college gettin Ph. D's
|
| Or any other degree, even if you just read
|
| For mental health, see you’re concious that your mind is free
|
| All my people locked down, for your past mistakes
|
| Mentally and spiritually, dwellin past the gates
|
| You could 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
|
| Understand that help ain’t gonna come from nowhere else
|
| Revolutionaries makin the unjust get dealth wit
|
| Head on black people got to meet the task
|
| Educate, keep learnin, gotta question, ask!
|
| And let your light keep shinin and remember the past
|
| By any means necessary, we’ll be free at last
|
| 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 blessin 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 a garden if you never water your crops
|
| If you never paid your dues, then you don’t get props
|
| Couldn’t eat a proper meal without cookin 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 around, what a sight to bestow
|
| When you face adversities, dark clouds 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 upon you more than you can take
|
| Sometimes you even gotta learn from OTHER people’s mistakes
|
| So head on black people got to meet the task
|
| Educate, keep learnin, gotta question, ask!
|
| And let your light keep shinin and remember the past
|
| By any means necessary, we’ll be free at last |
