[Verse 1]
Yeah ain't it obvious, I do this for the audience
Mainstream raps get a file, new document and
No sugar coat, you can keep the condiment
Straight Hip Hop up in its prime like Optimus
See me if you in the need of an accomplice
To navigate the waters when you do not have a com•pa•ss
Face it like a monument, be honest
It is not about the show, it is about the people watching it like
Hey folks, how you doin' tonight
Hope you doin' it, an doin' it, and doin' alright
Yes yes ya'll, eyes in the view of the light
Yo if life's got ya down, you ain't viewin' it right
Yeah stay positive, keep on rockin' it
We can do it all if we maintain confidence
Face it like a monument, I'm honest kid
The world will give challenges the longer you revolve on it but
[Hook]
Life moves on so we better move with it
Understand there's consequence to ev•er•y decision
Trail + Error is wisdom
Listen, you'll never find the IS without addition
See but I ain't buggin' cause
[Verse 2]
I keep that positive vibe
No need for talkin' that jive
I'm on the top in my mind
Ain't no stoppin' the climb
You're the reason I grind
I'm changin' lives all the time
Without the drop of a dime
You can join me if you like
Like together we light brite bright type
Maybe take flight like Mike might
We could live in Shan•ga•ri•La
It's a long shot but Sonnie I don't mind, I like to aim from a far
Equip thermal, I could could aim from a fog
Makin' moves in my pursuit of happiness and never wait for tomorrow
From the music, to my art, to every walk in the park
Lend a hand along the way, and pray I'm doing my part
Cause love be the motive, hope is what I'm provokin'
Leavin' it on the table, no secret out in the open
And remember, never let your heart Harden like James
And try keep an open mind cause we one and the same like
[Hook]
Life moves on, so we better move with it
Understand there's consequence to ev•er•y decision
Trail + Error is wisdom
Listen, you'll never find the IS without addition
