Live Today |
Transitions |
Transitions of a man’s mission |
Can turn the moment, into something he owns |
Not just for him, but for them |
To understand, this is peace of a man |
Woman beside providing balance |
So that we can do our best, with God’s talents |
Yeah |
Live today |
Don’t give it away |
It away |
Cause we live today |
We live today |
Today I’m known, today I’m born |
New ways I’m going, new ways I’m growing |
New ways I’m flowing |
A form unknown from the corner is one stone |
Colouring life with more than one tone |
Nation embracing life’s placements |
Faces in places we in, the direction it’s taking us in |
Like the wind from a city that’s discovered by DuSable |
Chicago taught me how to lead and to follow |
My heart, even when it’s hollow |
I plant a seed for today that believes in tomorrow |
Sun telling me never feed in the sorrow |
Pay attention, cause these times are borrowed |
Days is a maze, Is a lesson, it’s a maze |
It’s a blessing it’s a blessing we live today |
Live today |
Don’t give it away |
It away |
Cause we live today |
We live today |
Life everlasting |
Passion is extreme from dreams that we have |
The path that we take |
The path that we make |
Yo, Some things we gotta undo, and unlearn |
Taking turn to earn |
Taking turn to burn |
Taking things is firm |
Firm in the mind and rewind them |
Think we timed them |
We divide them out, divide them in |
The way common sense and my man D. Hodge blend |
We take it in like a breath |
I can be the chef in the kitchen |
While I’m switching |
Up a different type of style |
I gotta think faster |
Got a task for |
Everybody |
Just to do |
Just to live today |
Just to live today |
We live today for the present known and it’s a blessing |
For our future |
Giving thanks, for our ancestors in the past |
Forgiveness for the transgressors |
Cause we dance with the ancestors |
(End) |
