Brotha Soul - The Pursuit lyrics

[Intro] [Verse] Now there will be a day when my career is flatlined The lights will go dim the curtains will close one last time I'd love to be remembered as one of the greatest artists And also be remembered as a husband and a father who put Food on the table not a fist full of dollars But enough dough that I could put my kids through college Have a nice home, living chill in the burbs Give a diamond to my wife the one I feel she deserves And I probably still feel the urge to scribble my words It'll be for recreation, no longer considered work And I'll probably have my feelings hurt Watching all the new cats Like “Man, I used to do that” Wishing I had my groove back But yes I'm still thankful for the love and opportunity I had no idea how much that Hip-Hop could do for me And when it's all said and done I still have my friends and family around to me that's everyone [Hook] (I want) Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth; Wisdom, Patience, That's the Pursuit y'all Life, Love, Happiness, Truth; family, friends y'all that's the Pursuit (c'mon) Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth; Wisdom, Patience, That's the Pursuit (c'mon) Life, Love, Happiness, Truth; family, friends y'all that's the Pursuit [Verse] On the real, part of me was about a little shine Been at this thing for ten and ten and truthfully I wanted mine But after putting out my best trying to impress them with my paramount I saw that this ain't really what this music is about I realize that what is mine ain't even mine because the tours and The syllables and songs are really done for you and yours In hopes that something from my years will help to open up some doors To show that life is not a labor - breathing shouldn't be a chore There's so much more to see and be within this fraction of eternity The man in me is focused on your personal maternity Like, What are you birthin' in your dreams and aspirations For your neighborhood, community, and [?] Cuz they're waiting on your offering, whatever that may be And what is yours becomes the source of things that may be feeding me And then my crew and then my girl even my kid that isn't born Cuz living life and giving life is how we keep it moving on [Hook] (with that) Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth; Wisdom, Patience, That's the Pursuit y'all Life, Love, Happiness, Truth; family, friends y'all that's the Pursuit Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth; Wisdom, Patience, That's the Pursuit Life, Love, Happiness, Truth; family, friends y'all that's the Pursuit
