Some day you want to fly away; and you just might find a way
Ya see, I often hear it said it’s best to talk with a smile or walk with an awkward step tryin to floss and style. Please (believe)… keep it bumping until the function is out, and no doubt or assumption about it, (said) you gonna get round. (because) Once it’s all said and done; you just one in a crowd, but sun I’m runnin it now; so stand up if you wanna get down! I came to do this for the music I value, not to show you how or confuse you with values that you might not recognize… nor could I deny truth to myself, or keep it kept inside. (see) I invest so much time into dialect, to proceed; to me just seems like a vital step in a conception of music as expression of you... not confession but connecting our view through the movement of your neck, and in truth, I expect to improve… I’m not the best; this is the best I can do. Feel it… this the music I make, an evolution of the refuge I use to escape and in it express myself and test my limits. (I'm nowhere close to finished)
This music is not something you just get into, Hip Hop, it gets into you… it’s the way you view our world through it trying to stay in tune with a movement; only takes a few to (few) learn from it and create what’s new. In an over the counter culture we are paying our dues… how many sleepless nights would I stay up and write, or dreams must be missed to bring this one to life? I couldn't escape the time that it takes to shape minds through the rhymes I create, and don't try.. life is the struggle; yes, and this music is a bond that holds us all together and helps us hold on. In some hard times it’s all that I had, no family or friends around me… just a pen and a pad… but in a real way; what more did I need, then the strength to believe in myself, and follow my dreams? Ya see, I know it’s been said; but at times it takes reminding… Sun; we're all stars you just gotta start shining. Search within those pressures of life until you find, sometimes it takes a hand full of coal to shape a diamond. One.
(Sometimes it takes hands full of coal to shape a diamond)
Put your hands up high,
Some day you want to fly away; and you just might find a way
