Pursuit of Happiness

They don't call me the hero for nothing
Heaven ain't up for discussion
A soviet stand out, they Russian
Take over the game as I rush in
Don't care bout the state that you stuck in
You gotta look at life and say fuck it
You gotta love the haters, say suck it
And you can tell all their bitches love it
But you don't bump underground hip hop
That's cause you think you're above it
He asked you if you heard his latest song
You're already changing the subject
You don't know in the future they'll love it
Stepped on his toes, slept on em like he was Vincent Van Gogh
In the future they'll all love him, his art will reach generations
As I would retort, your soul and your minds like a battery charge
But your draining your battery letting them draw from it
Watch them stand over you large
Hear the devil calling like he got you on speed dial
You should retrace your steps, then meanwhile
Better rubberneck in this neck of the woods
Check over your shoulder, it's better to look
Doublecheck before you cross
Cause on these roads it get's really dark
It's been a hot minute, and you came too far to turn back now
So remain on course
Maybe pray to the Lord
It'll take a little bit of time for you to find
Some peace of mind
And maintain that state of mind
Get some alpha waves in that beta life
Make it a way of life, you can change your life

Colonization came
Bringing wars, disease, famine, violence
And the destruction and violation of our cultural Laws
Sacred sites, families, and communities
I survived, my existence is resistance
Me saying my name is Reversed Name
That is resistance in it of itself

Rubbing sandpaper on my own skin
I was shaving off all my melanin
So I could be like the white kids
My brother walked in and nearly whooped my ass
You're beautiful so take that pad out of your hand
I'm about to fucking cry as I tell this to you
But the way you look has got em feeling jealous of you
That's why people get tan in the first place
Some people can't tan in the first place
Some people get mad in the worst way
Some people gonna be racist, and you don't deserve it
Some girls won't look at ya, but there's prejudice in em
Their parents scared of you
They stay away from you
Her daddy stares at you
Like he put a hex on you
Won't give a chance to you
Cause he's seen someone like you
But that don't mean shit
You're a sensitive spirit
Cover it up and don't let no-one near it
And don't let no-one change that
Once they get ya there's no way of going back
That perspective could change the world, cause you care about it
Open your eyes, be aware about it
Give a fuck bout what people think
They will judge for a minute, then call you great
Say they believed in you, being fake
If you make it, you made it, bro call it fate
Don't let no-one say you can't do nothing
Especially me, I can't stop you from it
Experience this life, there's a lot to love
One day you'll find you someone to love
Don't take her for granted, go show her something
Something she's never seen
In this life you can be what you wanna be

The tree breathes what we exhale
When the tree exhales, we need what the tree exhales
So we have a common destiny with the tree
We are all from the earth, and when the earth, water
The atmosphere is corrupted then it will create it's own reaction
Mother is reacting
