We barley had essentials
I recall times where hard
But we had our plates full
And plenty of food for thought
Which we were told could bring us from here way our to Mars
With the right motivation we change the surroundings and make it
What we desire to, get what we aspire to
But most importantly remember that we inspire too.
The best pride is when the people around you are proud of you
Now thats powerful when you could count on people that all count on you
I'm grateful and thankful, plenty to do this
Jesus was made to, its all right I gotta get it right
We made for this, aint it gorgeous
You notice how I could take my words and make a fortune
If a hustler could take powder and build a fortress
Its elementary supply and demand
Its meant to be, it seems to me that the supply is at hand
Long as a land inside the heart of the fans and
The heart of the city, always resonates with me
We goin be fine shit, let me see some peace signs
And less news about what went wrong
You see this is a real song the feels when the pills gone
And you need a lil hope
This the should of Caesar Chavez meeting HOV in the projects
Or a barrio where the poor hardly profit and they pray to see deposits
Where crime is justified and the time is what they gamble with to see the other side
Damn, i'm happy that i saw it otherwise
With the guidance that the universe provided
Opened my mind when i closed my eyelids
And i saw the plus and minus of my own direction
And how i should be flying because i am the pilot
Everybody got addictions, mine just happen to be
Money and some women
Money and some women
Excuse me i'm just
(Living, living, living, living, living, living, yeah yeah)
Everybody got addictions, mine just happen to be
Money and some women
Money and some women
Some women, excuse me i'm just
(living, living)
Excuse me i'm just
(Living, living
Excuse me i'm just
(Living, living, yeah yeah)
