KWE - Planet Ahead lyrics
Take a step in my mind, if you wish But first, identify this little bit of a twist There's no catchy chorus here to entice Just my raw thoughts converted to rhymes That hopefully provide some advice Now that disclaimer's out of the way Let me jump directly into what I have to say I've spent most of my years fake front forming In order to disperse the nosey people swarming I've become a master at concealing my feelings I don't want people dabbling in my personal dealings Dealing with my heart, my mind, and such I'm thinking people don't care about those things too much So I decided to shift my focus to other things Like pursuing and achieving what I thought was my dream Finish school, graduate with a degree in my fist Then enter the job market as a rich pharmacist The plan was laid out but it fell flat on the execution Now it's a different career path I gotta be choosing I guess I can take some comfort from the fact that There are plenty of others who have been where I'm at But still, I can't help but feel off course A map won't help me in this case, so I check with the Source I know I've been blessed with the gift to burst A verse and I believe most concur but first I should get a high paying job from a stellar education To lay down a financially stable foundation For my yet to be discovered significant other Economic times will get tougher if she becomes a mother I need to get my priorities organized Expand on positives, get negatives minimized At this moment in time, I'll gladly pursue this music And use it to deviate from the typical rubric That most rappers follow for their songs nowadays I'll admit that set formula certainly pays But I won't change who I am just to stack mad cash It was easy to deal with that internal clash I'm just gonna stay true to me Transfer that truth into something musically I've seen plenty of artists step on the scene then leave And it makes me wonder how many songs I could possibly conceive Before my mind goes blank and I can't make any more Times like these makes me that wish I knew what was in store But I don't, so I'm just gonna stay grinding Designing and reciting rhyming lines with impeccable timing Some people think I'm a decent guy, hardly Frequently, I wonder why God stills wants me Pick about just any expectation I'm far from it I rise when I fall, but more often I plummet My heart has been smashed into indefinite pieces I know the only one who can mend them back together is Jesus But taking action and actually handing Him the fragments Is a reaction easier said than put it into practice Fact is, everything I've stated is how I feel What's past the present, only God can reveal The future is unknown territory I tread But every so often I gaze past the satellites to planet ahead
