Life's about effort
Life's about work
Gots to put it in
Until I'm out of the dirt
Told my vatos that I miss em
One day I will return
Until then, I'ma get religious with it
As if the hustle is church
Sitting in a sermon
Thinking about where I am
Where I stand
Who I am
How I can be a better man
There's a sense of discontentment
In the lack of comprehension
As I'm talking to my reverend
Bout the matters of ascension
He gets defensive
I can't understand
The mental practices at hand
They say ignorance is bliss
But everybody thinks like this
I can't barely fit in
And I can rarely feel a thing
I just wanna grow
Far and beyond
I just wanna hold
Everyone that I love
I been sitting in a sermon
Thinking about what I'm not
Icarus burning up for being
Too close to a God
Life's about effort
Life's about work
Gots to put it in
Until I'm out of the dirt
Told my vatos that I miss em
One day I will return
Until then, I'ma get religious with it
As if the hustle is church
