Just when you least expect, the changes in life direct your path into the road less traveled A whole different battle from the one you was planning on Shifting to solid ground you thought you was standing on You’re wrong, there ain’t no terra firma Nothing in life is permanent So make the most of the times spent I use the intelligent method to make a dent In the minds of those who find pleasure in the sent Of the funk that emits when I spit lyrics of senses Ya’ll realizing this must be my call of life Cause there's nothing else that brings such pleasure As to draft the blueprint of words measure after measure Each line is a treasure with a valuable gift My words have the power to move and uplift An entire generation of youth, even the old and wise The unborn and those worn in disguise They hold lives I’m here to unveil reality Let it be known Let the truth be shown Let he is who is without sin cast the first stone
I bet no rocks will ever be thrown Because we have all transgressed I’m trying to move past this But the reality is I’m as human as it gets So what I feel and what’s real and what’s right Sometimes struggle and fight It’s like day versus night But that’s life And that’s what’s making life living nice That’s why I choose to write as my professional practice Because right is what’s real And what’s real is what you feel
[Verse 2: Emanon] I’m droppin’ lessons on the difference between reality and artificiality Some people need to change their mentality to oppose the man made edifice built by blind kings Like Oedipus Rex who said it in text and let it digest into the mind of the people Who writes history? Answer this question and you’ll unlock the mystery; Yo slavery, yo misery Power and dominion, remember that the author always has an opinion So read between the lines and look for the signs about mankind Otherwise, we’re bound to be swimmin’ within the lies of other guys who’ve paralyzed What’s real with eyes that don’t see and hearts that don’t feel The falsity breeds catastrophe and that’s ill I still don’t understand everything—I’m a scholar of life
Learnin' from the book and the street Victory and defeat The bitter and the sweet The shallow and the deep Whether I’m awake or I’m asleep
I read the road with my feet and remember where I’ve been just in case I have to return again and that’s real So what I know now is much more pure than the contamination I had learned before In addition, on this mission to self actualize I find myself belonging to the cast of the wise In my youth, which is proof of all the years I have left, my spirit will breathe the breath? of the all the righteous steps So I hope that you will come along with me on the sojourn and then I’ll follow you when it’s your turn
