[Hook] I Haven't been alive long but I've found That all that we experienced has been around All the highs and lows along the day-to-day And nothing [?] So I go along with the waves though they might be so strong It's just a part of it all It's just a part of it all It's just a part of it all [Verse 1 - Oddisee] I find it hard at times to see the bigger picture Designer things and little minor things That make it hard at times to be the bigger person In the time of blame sh** ain't perfect but I'm fine with things You see the way they are is how they supposed to be You know playing apart in the ways of art And the reciting from Bach is the approach to me Keep it cla**ic bae no question man Nobody asked you bae but keepin' also me Get attached to me from many actions We had in pa**ing, no you ain't close to me This a joke to me People see the world as if they the sun And we solar things And if they would run the entire show Around them we're spun like a roller ring Get a real perspective Hit a couple back getting real selective Had to double back on the mis-directions Got cool with some folks that I used to mess with Now we don't click like a miss-connection Hard is the way that I've learned my lesson And the cause wasn't great but I'm still affected By the loses I take but I did correct them in time Hope things are here reflecting I've done some things I can't take back The past is where they made me at And where I'm now is part of how I'm facing facts It get from start to the finish Everything up in between but we experience We simply just believe it's part of it all [Hook] [Verse 2 - Uptown XO] Yeah, told the n***as from beginning It ain't a muthaf**in' givin' take a second, take a minute Now recollecting our condition Competitive fighting for scraps money turn n***as wicked A vision, we know who did it Politic and dollar getting [?] You see, n***as gotta get it All on the mind mind, got on yo grind and pick up with the system Don't even listen when they talk sci-fis Tell people that we up on a mission And only from the district to the freedom fighters worldwide What you done did is [?] ludicrous they livin' Cuz you know I got the girls right by me starting who's gonna finish? Who's gonna defend us? n***as getting sentenced lifetimes All of the new slaves in the system, can they get a witness? Part of a part of me apart of the pimp sh** Focused to coating all the devil's intentions Everything started from a dot in the system So long, so far nobody [?] But we not free though OG when I roll my tree up chose three n***a turn that heat up We the realest sh** out your speaker We the sh** you see [?] [?] All of our leaders, from Jim Crow to "My Adidas" Apart of me is saying that I got to beat this I'm the spirit undefeated [Hook] [Verse 3 - yU] Some things I've had, some I haven't Like two parents, no marriage, scattered fam, dysfunctional parents Which matters when, you look at em' later That's what I'm made of, balance and chaos I be on point, sometimes I'm way off Dedicated, but still need one day off Far from perfect On the surface I done did dirt that hurt others Love is amongst us But when you lose it it punctures All of us (?) Have been more than young before me(?) cause i make a sound The pages turn to the mush of a chapter Still my bond is my worst word, swerve What do we really deserve? You get what you earn, more difficult live and you learn How you get closer that fire, desired, with minimal burns? That sh** is your turn Timing is like God synchronising in that moment for us We're here with down later it may go All those with no nuts may blow up from closer fall Attention with no response, just know who you are Cause the odds, they might just throw you off Until you find yourself lost So what you need to hear, you gotta be on yo frequency like It's small but still it's a part of all on earth Believe in yo life [Hook]
