Makin' Progress

Making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
Making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
Making progress everyday

Started off as an empty cassette
Every event ever recorded, every soul I ever met
Feel like it was for a reason, you know
Like to help me grow
So, it took me longer than most to become a man
With no father to hold my hand
But this story isn't meant to be sad
It's a blessing because of the lessons I had
A school hard knock grad
And the diploma that I can now show ya
Is the character for which I'm the holder
Wiser, older, not always synonymous
True acts of kindness remain anonymous
Making progress
Evident beyond preponderance
Wasting your life away, yo that preposterous
You're not looking if you don't see the point of its obelisk
Absorb the hook, increase your consciousness

I'm making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
Making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday

Just when it seemed we were moving in the right direction
The threw a roadblock at the intersection
Sometimes the bumpy road the only option
Because when everything's easy peasy he be, soft as cotton
A bad apple spoiled rotten, ruin the bunch
I didn't understand then, but now I got a hunch
You were envious of my creativity; I was witty a knowledge sponge
So, you'd scold and punch and say I was out to lunch
Now as I feel myself reaching enlightenment
I can forgive, to not is self-entitlement
For I too may need salvation at my heights decent
By people affected by events they underwent
Through my actions
Got to read the writing on the walls interpret life's captions
Break things down into fractions and segments
Be cautious of your times investments
You get the most return in the present, with the presents of your presence

Making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday

Peoples lack of patience and actions selfless
Really make me salty like a shellfish
Do they not realize that being kind and selfless
Increases one's own mental wellness
Don't be jealous of people's possessions and objects
Being content is part of the growing process
I'm making progress
If you could wake up every day, and those three words you can say
The skies the limit, you grew your wings, fly away
To Nirvana, paradise
That smile you're wearing, man it looks nice
You deserve this
Happiness, that's your purpose
Anxiety and nervous
Doing yourself a disservice
Become impervious
To this clown world circus
Simply dig in, by scratching the surface
Dig deeper if you wish
Or through ignorance find your bliss

Making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
Making progress everyday
A little progress in every way
I'm making progress everyday
