Chorus

Tell you one lesson I've learned

If you wanna reach something in life

You ain't gonna get in unless

You give a little bit of sacrifice

Ooh sometimes you gotta smile before you cry

You need a heart that's filled with music

If you use it you can fly

If you wanna be high

Listen, I got you phobic offa this like arachnid

Drastic, it ain't plastic, it's just Pro black-ness

Grown man tactics no pediatrics

The kind of track that make the comeback miraculous

The catalyst. Thought with the knack of splashin

I'm dashin, I mastered the craft of mashin

The level-headed thoroughbred the females passion

Magnetic attraction be keeping em askin

The crews in the Cadillac, the Pendergrassin

Swerve half-naked won't come near crashin

But if I go to Heaven would you know my name

Or would it be the same for you like I was Eric Clapton, huh?

Clap for freedom yawl , that's what's happenin

My spit take critical political action

The hustle is a puzzle, each piece is a fraction

And every word that's understood is a transaction

I'm an S.P. soldier, microphone holder

Rep Philly set

From Bolivia to Boulder

Paris, France …..Thai Yoga

How we gon' make it through the dark?

I'll show ya…..
