Lyrics Reaching - Thavius Beck

Reaching

Reach for each goal you desire
Higher than the last
Barricade in the path
Blast path determined
Do your math
Start earning
If it’s not concerning your person then turn them away
Let the stray make his own way
'Cause we impeached the leech for the way he beseeched and stole in broad day
Like no one would say
A thief exists in the midst of a wordsmith
No amount of spliffs would shift my perception toward a direction to afford you
protection
An instant selection is isolated, interrogated and annihilated
That’s why I’ve stated on occasions previous to destroy the devious
And don’t toy with decoy b-boy's who need pacifiers with their glossy fliers
and plus size attire
Little to admire or aspire to
Just what preparation were you doing prior to this chance meeting?
Feeding your ego with lies?
Doing that will never help you rise
A transparent disguise only fools a fool
But there’re millions of them and their children and kin
Ignorance deep within
No foreseeable end
Blank minds open ears and bewildered grins
So what part do you play in this scheme?
Do you gotta Glock next to a triple beam?
Or work hard 'round the clock for another’s dream?
Or lost hope, chase dope, living like a fiend?
Or one of those in-between?
Who knows
Shit’s really not as hard as it seems
Prepare and persist for as long as you exist and you’ll build a resilience
rarely seen…
