[Verse 1:Frankie Starr]
Maybe I'm blinded by my own emotion
Scared but play it off like I'm hiding sickness
It like the day before Christmas, childhood Easter
Belief in my heart , but it dies down later
I brush it off my shoulder but it come back greater
The feeling of defeat, yea I try to savor
Got to check on my ego but there ain't no clinic
Want a therapy session just to say that I'm in it
Want to walk in God shoes, don't think I can fit it
Because the pressure of the walk gone need more than visit
Want to live the right way, ain't no one way sign
Trying to see the bright side but my eyes stay blind
I got to see the loose end, try to make to a bow
I see a lot of dollars spent and still nothing to show
Man I got hope inside yea I'm ready to blow
Now I see the path I'm going yo, its time to go
[Chorus: Richard Austria, Frankie Starr, Marlon Turner]
Ready to go
Yeah we talk of struggles
Ready to show
Sure we talk of pain
Ready to live
But underneath our voice we whisper hope
Because fruition of our dreams is what still remains
Ready to go
Sure we talk of struggles
Ready to show
Yeah we talk of Pain
Ready to live
But underneath our voice we whisper hope
Because fruition of our dreams is what still remains
[Verse 2:Marlon Turner]
I tell myself I can do it, ain't nothing to it
Ain't got to move a mountain if you make a tunnel through it
But life made me so cheap, I'm called black Jewish
Some friends betrayed us, called them black Judas
Everyday I wake up, work I'm back to it
Where I feel my dreams crumble like cornbread
Will I rule the world, ask Nas or Lauren
Til' then keep my head on point just like cone heads
They say you're not wise until you're old
And gray hair and aged skin represent the struggles you've tolled
But I guess I seen the light early
Clear as saran rap, bright as a dozen suns and pure as a dozen nuns
Family and friends where you should keep your plans at!
And up is definitely where you should keep your hands at
I see the path I'm going, though the traffic is slow
Its worth the trip and I'm ready to go
[Bridge:Richard Austria]
Where do we go, when the road we end on
Are paved with our failures, our past mistakes
Where do we turn to when each road is a dead end
Believe now that Up is the only direction
I'm ready to go...
Yea
[Chorus 2x]
