Ooh let me hear ya
Yeah
Seems like life is bitter sweet
As I manuevuer through the city streets
I keep it movin never missing a beat
Watch the heat rise off of that black top
Mean while the street wise off of that crack rock
The back drop: Heaven or Hell
Hookers and Holy Rollers hustlin
A young girl pushin baby stroller
Red light through the intersection across the curb
And I found myself at a loss for words
At green light some thoughts occured
It came to me half empty or half full
Sorta the same to me cause sometimes it rains and sometimes it shines
Sometimes at the same time
My frame of mind holds the big picture
We all trying to get richer one way or another
Inspired by a young mother
Doing her best to provide the essentials
In the midst of strife a young life full of potential
Chorus:
We find hope in the scope of things
Motivated by these broken wings (We gon' get there)(Life Goes On)

Yeah Yo
He had big city dreams growing up in a small town
Out grew the scene boy gettin' so tall now
Ready for the world so wherever the ball bounce
If ever he falls down, he gets back up
So he packs up and leaves
No magic backs up his sleeves
Acts tough, but he's
So fresh and so idealistic
People try to tell him he's not realistic
Like "You can't do this" and "You can't do that"
But he never lose that "Yes I can!" and
He got set backs and he got doubts but
He don't care about what the rest is saying
Round peg in a square hole
Fill the gaps til it snap now there it go
There it go, that's a perfect fit
Now we know what he working with
And for the folks who told him he wasn't worth a sh**
He make a habit out of proving them wrong
Make ya happy keep it moving along
Keep ya moving along
Chorus
