Show Me the Way (feat. Aloe Blacc)

The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure don't stay Tryin' to cope, boy I hope and I pray Show me the way The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure don't stay Tryin' to cope, boy, I hope and I pray Somebody show me the way Somebody show me the way I say hello to my people, hello to the day I watch the world on wheels Hit the yellow and grey The ones don't work are the ones who don't eat And once again I'm from that city where that sun don't sleep It's time to get live because the terms is breeched Ride the wave like the world is a beach Learn more I teach I was raised by NWA and Stacey Ay, all day, same story different briefcase I'm nonchalant to others pedaling weight I got a purpose to serving up and settle my state Been through it, all of it, great Put the ruler to the movement, all of it's straight Big fish even calling 'em bait One love, one dish, see 'em all on my plate I take the lady on a vacay, she call it a date Now she calling in sick, now she calling in late The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure don't stay Tryin' to cope, boy, I hope and I pray Somebody show me the way Somebody show me the way I've been through some pitfalls that knocked me down Made it through close calls and lost some ground It's a hell of a price I pay Somebody show me the way Somebody show me the way The moon tagged the sun in Love to be alive, feet hit the ground running Butterflies in my stomach Like the matrix tryin' to get it Tryin' to learn a lot from it On a planet in regression in a loft at the summit Air is much clearer, catch me on the high road Some fight to live, others settle for survival It's your world, you can write the line you live your life on It's heavy but you're strong just hold on until that light dawns It's started now, pardon me we're partying Escalating, redefining the state of the art again Celebrated, elevators open up to secret floors Different rules and secret laws, from the roof you'll see the stars Only fear boredom in a world of raw materials Excite by potential, inspired by adventure Calculated circles the circumference and the radius The only guest to float without a float through the parade is us It's routine, by the beach I rise First up, I hit the weed then I bleach my eyes Then it's to the drum machine to speak my mind Tracks like fitted hats, pick a beat my size Energized, on the darkest streets I shine Saw the light up on the mountain to the peak I climb Breathtaking new perspectives on the life I grind First tear of joy fell, looking like I'm crying For just a moment The feeling of being content, not needing a dollar or a cent Smile for my mama 'cause she proud The studio, my headphones' loud Bridge builders will connect these crowds Dedicated on my honor you can check these vows That's purpose, power to make the powerful nervous Hard work ain't easy but easy usually ain't worth it
