I don't know where I'm headed
sh** I barely even know where I been
But I know that getting ahead is a headache
And it's rooted at the tip of my pen
So I just let the beat ride..yeahh
Man I just let the beat ride..yeahh
Man I just let the beat ride
Poetic, kinda regret it though
Only thing that's written in this life is my genetic code
Embedded in me
Why i couldn't let it go
They'd never know, unless I told
Unless I fold and
Crumble upon these knees y'all I'm begging you please dont forget about me nahh
This life is bleek and I need to breathe my tongue numb and my lungs are squeezed
So I just let the beat ride..yeahh
Man I just let the beat ride..yeahh
Man I just let the beat ride
I don't know where I'm headed
sh** I barely even know where I been
But I know that getting ahead is a headache
And it's rooted at the tip of my pen
So I just let the beat ride
Ride out, every peak I could climb now
Step up to the top of the mountain and see my house
I'm outside with the rhymes out
How absurd but the verbs could describe how
I been livin all alone at the top and it's cold on this rock you see
And I know it's been a long time I been gone
I wouldn't know what to say if we could talk indeed
So I just let the beat ride
I just let the beat ride
So I just let the beat ride
I don't know where I'm headed
sh** I barely even know where I been
But I know that getting ahead is a headache
And it's rooted at the tip of my pen
So I just let the beat ride..yeahh
Man I just let the beat ride..yeahh
Man I just let the beat ride
Ridin in the Acura probably without a pa**enger
Living this life in a fashion nobody asked me to
But damn Imma take it for what it's worth
Until the day I make it up so high I'm like "What is Earth?"
Can't you save me I'm fadin away from the days that I used to live
And I'm feelin just a little lost out at space
And I'm afraid I've lost trace of where Houston is
"Extraordinary television picture here"
“As I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown at Hadley
I sort of realize there's a fundamental truth to our nature
Man must explore”— Dave Scott, Commander Apollo 15
Upon becoming the 7th man to walk on the Moon, 31 July 1971
Outer space, floating from my planet
Dazed, I'm amazed by the scope of my advantage
Looking down on world and the oceans and I panic
Frantic, I see it but couldn't hope to understand it
Abandoned companions and bland memorandum
And just disappeared at random
To land on the moon
While y'all be on that same sh** dummy
Me I'm on that fly sh** space ship, I make the beat ride
“...and this is exploration at it's greatest”
