Push On

It's been a long journey, a long road, filled with potholes
and obstacles, I've fallen so many times, it forge character tho' and growth in my rhymes, Now when I fall,
I'm older, get up smile, brush the dirt of my shoulders, I use to do things the hard way, today, I pray, and listen to what god say,
The path for my life is laid out for me, you could rest in piece right be carrying the torch hommie', to all the people that got love for me,
I push on, and try to write ah stories,
These are the days for constant building, construct futures for all of are children,
make cash, make it last, you know how fast them days will pass, in a flash
The sands in the hour glass slip threw your fingers cause you never got a grasp,

get a grip, get it straight or else you'll let it slip and you'll never elevate, right now, theres no time to waste, put your best foot forward and try to keep pace,
push on

All my people, you got got got to push on
(on, an on, an on)

I built my foundation on a rock, so when the winds of change come, I won't fall off
you see my outstretched hand, success means nothing to me, unless I share it with my fam'
To my peeps abroad and state side, lets make strides, make papes and change lives,
create fly, tracks that change the tide, so maybe some day true art will survive, I in head,

pioneer a brand new path way, introduce you to god, in these last days, everybody's attitude is so cumbersome
run there whole life, never know what they're running from, So stop for a second and take a look, and listen to the wisdom that is written in the book.

Get a Grip, get it straight, or else you'll let it slip and you'll never elevate, right now, theres no time to waste, put your best foot forward and try to keep pace,
push on

All my people, you got got got to push on
(on, an on, an on)

Threw a smoke screen, and hopes for cream have you floatin' down a stream full of broken dreams,
they call it main but it's really just a scheme, to gets you all locked where no one can hear you scream, Mos Def said it best it's a better build cell block, where they putcha' to death if you don't sell hot records, but you see we changin' that too, big business hiphop we aim at you,
if they putting out garbage, don't buy it, remember one stone took down the giant, have faith like David and Goliath, avoid the bias, and keep yo' mom pious

Get a Grip, get it straight, or else you'll let it slip and you'll never elevate, right now, theres no time to waste, put your best foot forward and try to keep pace,
push on

All my people, you got got got to push on
My man Nak, you got-got-got to push on,
The Sp's, you got-got-got to push on,
(on, an, on, and on, an on)
(on, an on)
