Push On

It's been a long journey, a long road

Filled with potholes and obstacles

I've fallen so many times

It forged character though, and growth in my rhymes

Now when I fall, I'm older

Get up, smile, brush the dirt off of my shoulders

I used 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 peace right be carrying the torch homie

To all the people that got love for me:

I push on

And try to write our stories

These are the days for constant building

Construct futures for all of our children

Make cash, make it last

You know how fast them days will pass, in a flash

The sands in the hour glass slip through 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

There's 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, and on, and on, and 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 with my fam

To my peeps abroad and state side: Let's make strides

Make papes and change lives

Create fly, tracks that change the tide

So maybe some day true art will survive

I am here, to pioneer a brand new pathway

Introduce you to God, in these last days

Everybody's attitude is so cumbersome

Run their whole life never knowin' what they're running from

So stop for a second 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 -

There's 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, and on, and on, and on)

Through a smoke screen of hopes for C.R.E.A.M

Have you floatin' down a stream full of broken dreams

They call it main but it's really just a scheme

To get you all locked where no one can hear you scream

Mos Def said it best: It's a better built cell block

Where they put you to death if you don't sell hot records

But see we changin' that too

Big business hip-hop we aimin' at you

If they puttin' out garbage - Don't buy it

Remember one stone took down the giant

Have faith like David and Goliath

Avoid the bias, and keep your mind pious

Get a grip

Get it straight

Or else you'll let it slip

And you'll never elevate

Right now

There's 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 S.P.'s, you got-got-got to push on

(On, and on, and on, and on)

(On, and, on, and on, and on)

(On, and, on, and on, and on)

(On, and, on, and on, and on)

(On, and, on, and on, and on)

(On, and, on)
