Ms Eva Johnson - Do I (Passion) Lyrics

When I wake up
Do I do it for me or the alarm clock?
When I work out
Do I do it for me or the Apple Watch?
When I pray long
Do I do it for me or the preacher man?
When I wash up
Do I do it for me or the water bill?
When I dress up
Do I do it for me or the slay queens & kings?
When I eat right
Do I do it for me or #fitfam?
When I drive through
Do I do it for me or the BMW?
When I work hard
Do I do it for me or the boss?
When I go out
Do I do it for me or the fear of missing out?
When I come home
Do I do it for me or the family?
When I lay down
Do I do it for me or the satin sheets?
When I lay down
Do I do it for me or the significant other?

Do I do anything for me?
Yes
I dance
Alone
To no music
Except the rhythm of my quickening heartbeat
The cranks, claps and taps
Straightening the creased hopes
Smoothing the crevices of my insecurities
I do that
As often as I please
For me

Passion. Purpose
Passion. Purpose
Passion. Purpose
Passion. Purpose

Sometimes
Life draws you apart
But you reunite
Like the meeting of old friends
You greet each other with swelling hearts
And walk together in synchronized steps
When one finger touches the other
The Chemistry feels more like Physics
The electric current runs throughout your Biology
From your cranium down to your phalanges
It's almost an exact science
The endorphins leave you leaping
From morning
Right through to evening
It'll keep you up all night
Wake you up with dawn
Heavy eyes
Light heart
High hopes and your hip hops
Your rhythm goes beyond feeling
Your sweat is your hydration
Your exhaustion leaves you energized
Your tears are your libation
You make a plan and you heed it
You set a goal and you beat it
You meet a culture and you change it
They may or may not know your name
But you do it all the same
Because
Passion and purpose will fuel your drive even where there is scarcity
You cannot fake passion
You cannot fight purpose

Passion. Purpose
Passion. Purpose
Passion. Purpose
Passion. Purpose
