More to Go (feat. C.S. Armstrong)

Wrote this on a beach while my kids were sleep Never thought I'd be at peace when I was near defeat Just got used to sending beats to get something to eat Looked inside my fridge and me and ain't seen nothing sweet Another person in the verses written years prior From space heaters to heated spaces I'm near fire Different versions of work in progress Collected wisdom from their wreckage That fortified with more in mind Can't reach perfection with a poor design Clear to me now I was the risk I had to steer shy of Foreshadowed by own shadow as lurking object Slid through the valley where the corpses lie now my fears appear minor What I've become is currently my finest But within time it takes its place as just a piece of mind Another address on the Ave I traded sleep for grind Lived many lives but the newest ones always the hardest I know I lived many lives Yeah, But I got so much more to go Yeah so much more to go Yeah baby, said I know I lived many lives Yeah, but I got so much more to go Tuh, so much more to go Oh my, heh My first life I was a dreamer born into illusions My second I became a student working on improvement Third bcame a preacher to protest our institutions Fourth I became a teacher to progress the moment Fifth I became a leader to protect conclusions Sixth a cheater to finesse those still in destitution Seventh a healer to correct what I just abusing The eighth I'm currently completing as my stress reducing Maybe what's left is losing count of all accounted for Forgetting my collection is a feat but a profound reward I found the lure of life exploring what I couldn't cause Effected by the random less a sceptic when you're met by newness I traveled far and wide before I ever charged to rhyme My open mind would visit what the artist me ain't stop to find To busy watching thrones I nearly didn't guard the shrine Within my many lives I'm surprised that I'm a rolling stone I know I lived many lives Yeah, but I got so much more to go Yeah so much more to go Yeah baby, said I know I lived many lives Yeah, but I got so much more to go Yeah so much more to go Yeah, yeah yeah Said I know, I lived many lives Maybe 10 to be exact Haters they be like how the hell you did that Hmm, gotta take it way back When I got my first 91 Deville Cadillac Hmm, took that shit off to New York City Now I'm in my own lane ain't nobody fucking with me HOV, hell yeah Hmm, now I'm in my own lane ain't nobody fucking with me Said I know I lived many lives Oh my huh, but I got so much more to go Tuh so much more to go Oh my huh, said I know I lived many lives But I got so much more to go Oh my
