Lyrics

Aight so today were gonna play a game
just follow me
were gonna play Simon says
I know it sounds dumb it sounds mad
but just follow me Simons says
you ready yh
Simon says the why is important because the why's are what people embrace
Simon says the why stand out when you make choices with your nim big brain
Simon says if you work with people who shares belief you can make change
Cause when you figure out why you can be like the val and play long term games
I don't normally play Simon says but i'll listen to Simon when the explains
he told me it ill take your what and how and put them both inside a frame
you see the why was born from pain
without the why then its all in vein
if you don't know why you do what you do then how can you even measure what's gained
Without the why then everything worthless
can't be out here without a purpose
yh your how and your what's sounds cool
but its dead if you don't scratch beneath the surface
you see the why its not just about you its about service
go alone if you wanna go fast but if you go together then you'll ago the furthest
let me break it down some more so you get an idea on how this tings working
back when the pandemic just kicked in and everybody felt lost Elijah went searching
being a grime dj was cool but aside from that the fire stopped burning
started to process things by writing and posting and realised people were yearning
there's a real connecter by fold but there's still a breakdown somewhere in the circuit
individuals obtaining the keys but collectively were not sharing the surplus
just on person asking a question is enough for man to sharing the learning
 that's why he final figured out why then he started writing again in earnest
one post of a week is not enough cause often curiosity feels urgent
wanted to do more so he jumped out of the frying pain straight into the furnace
now he's moving walls gonna turn him
drive feels stronger there's no reversing
you don't need Waze when your led by why and destination just feels more certain
and now your sat nav feels obsolete cause why is like the north star in the night shining
the how and what will appear in the distance think of those as street ligthtining
and if you have all three nobody can take you off course any river or climbing
and you can even loose the last two and still be alright if you carry on climbing
then if the why ceases to exist then I aint gonna lie it might get bit frightening
there's no point in anything in existing if the thing aint got a meaning behind it
and if you aint found yours don't stress take a look within if your still trying to find it
you see the life we live is not linear so embrace take control and design it
