Man in Motion

Try and make a way Try and make a way When I couldn't see a way Still had to make a way Today Not tomorrow but today When I couldn't see a way I give you the purest high This the honest dope Traditional practice is always pushing the envelope Push myself to the limits Jump off the cliff like Geronimo Used to want to be perfect I had to kill that persona though Every place that I'm at is a step towards where I'm tryna go Truly my highest goal is to live in peace and be honorable I had my lower moments Fuckboy tendencies I been my own opponent Now I destroy enemies Within my mind's creation Amplify my inner voice as living affirmations Silence the agitation Science in application challenging my pensive nature Praxis is a discipline that gives my vision weight Contemplate, demonstrate This my living way Measure wealth not as possession but what I give away Abundance be the theme for every risen day With a bit of faith I create a self-driven fate I never drop down to my knees and pray I didn't trust the voices inside my head I light a candle up and meditate Then I make my prayer with my legs Man in motion, Man in motion Man in motion, Man in motion Man in motion, Man in motion Never did I believe in a mystery god Skeptical of schools because their version of history's odd Accepting half truths will have your ass spooked I don't call information knowledge unless I have proof That's why it's noted how I bash booths I bring scholarship to the mic then I get funky like a bad tooth Gadzooks I beautifully splash loops Ambrosia The jam closer when I slam groove I set the grand standard from the bandstand Each of us reps all of us I'm sticking to my fam's plan If I left a bad example, try to make amends I've seen responses to mistakes that make or break a friend From this moment, I've forgiven trespasses That's coming from the heart like I'm giving chest passes Leading with love I know that's the best practice Tryna make a fortune and share it with those with less access I never drop down to my knees and pray I didn't trust the voices inside my head I light a candle up and meditate Then I make my prayer with my legs Man in motion, Man in motion Man in motion, Man in motion Man in motion, Man in motion I feel reborn, breaking out of my shell As the light lands, I am awakened out of my hell My cousin is locked up, I can't break him out of his cell But I write to give him relief that take him out of the jail When he free his mind The system be designed to have us led astray Ghetto life never improves We wanna get away Tryna turn the worse nights into better days The words to summarize our experience I could never say You from the slums? Then I ain't gotta explain You can feel it in the air and a lot of it's pain Urban plans and redlines made to drive us insane Being treated second class can really rot in your brain But I reject that, step back and spot what is plain AmeriKKKa was built on having niggas locked up in chains The hood is a Colosseum Are you not entertained? Neither am I So I need to be on top of my game I never drop down to my knees and pray I didn't trust the voices inside my head I light a candle up and meditate Then I make my prayer with my legs Man in motion, Man in motion Man in motion, Man in motion Man in motion, Man in motion
