Shad - Lucky 1's lyrics

[Verse 1: Shad] I can't derail I train hard then relax on tracks Keep the brain sharp hitting like an axe on wax Axe never touch trees meaning I don't puff weed But I hope to plant my seeds before I must leave Believing that hope grows even in the stone cold Bitter and bleak old souls sold like its antique Road show except for so damn cheap They preach the new science hone the program sheep But they won't find us, it's hide and go seek To control minds like gold mines in Mozambique Where the folks can't eat so I stroll to slow jam beat Slow dancing life's no grand prix No race no pace car and there is no shortcuts And no ones that special and there ain't no short bus The core of us are simple, but dignified We don't simply live to die Look through the inner eye in the sky [Verse 2: Shad] Now I'm a cynic but I try to keep my heart warm Human beings start war, but I believe in peace even for Darfur From hardcore to humor to here Where we stare in confusion at a future so near Got to take the spec out of your eye to see clear And if I'm gonna point fingers better point them at the mirror Reflections I reflect on lessons of my 26th year Erecting this next song here See you all know the drill like Exxon I guess wrong moves is experience like stairs to step on (yeah) And I don't talk biz and I don't talk down No kids talk, but I don't talk big Getting ga**ed like pop fizz off of pop hits I ain't got to say real talk because all my talk is Pop quiz: Who can define love? So many blind plus they can't feel they'll never find us... [Verse 3: Kamau] My folks love me I feel lucky they all love me But feel funny inside of world that is real ugly God save us this hard labour is breaking backs In the sands of time every step we making tracks The hour gla** is lasting faster than the hour last Or so it seems more dreams they will come to pa** And nightmares they flare up like the flames erupt The same dream I used to live now I gave it up And I've been saving up but money doesn't come quick Comes and goes like the daylight one shift And one sip of the well water it makes us live Forever we still here whether we take or give And its survival of the fittest by the thinnest thread When father time moves the minutes what is in his head Not even in control of what we must become But not far so I guess we are the lucky ones
