Lyrics

Now I done been a lot of places, seen a lot of things

And on the movie set of life I had a lot of scenes

Growing up in the Chi, I saw a lot of fiends

And even though the dough was low, I had a lot of dreams

You see I had vision, but didn't have a guide

Riding in my Chevy with a pistol sitting by my side

Living by the hustle, I lost track of time

But found a pen and paper, and now I hustle rhymes

I spent a long time running

Hard to survive when you ain't got nothing

It's been a long time coming

But now I'm gonna make a change

Got, got, got to make some changes

Got, got, got to make some changes

Got, got, got to make some changes, changes

This little light of mine, I gotta let it show

Life can get hard at times, still gotta strike a blow

New revolutionary, but I ain't got the 'fro

People that I have to carry wonder who I'm fighting for

I fight for Dr. King, I fight for Rosa Parks

I fight for Malcolm X, I fight for Farrakhan

I fight for former slaves, for those who are denied

I'm fighting for the people who struggle to survive

Run run run bro, fast as you can, Joe

Running from the bill collector, running from the po-po

You can run a marathon, maybe you be running slow

When you think it's safe to walk, then you gotta run some mo'

Sometimes I gotta run, I'm trying not to lose

Gotta stay prepared, so I'm lacing up my track shoes

I'm taking big strides, trying to beat my time

On set, ready, go, I'm running to the finish line

Life can chase you down at times

Run if you gotta run

But one day, you gotta stand strong

Shawn Rasul to the block

Shawn Rasul to the city

Rasul to the world

Peace

In school time was rappin in lunch lines

Beat boxin', freestylin' punch lines

And sometimes I skipped class for studio sessions

I'd rather be a superstar, forget learnin' these lessons

And if I said this ain't a blessing, I'd be lyin' to you

See the next Russell Simmons what I'm tryin' to do

Be a CEO, mogul, spit a rhyme or two

They say it all will come in due time for you

See I waited my turn in the line for few

Told everybody 'bout us what I can do

Love independent money, I ain't signin' with you

My music speaks for itself when I'm rhymin' to you, yayo

I choose this music

My love

I really got love for hip-hop

The whole game

I don't think y'all really understand where I'm comin' from

Let me introduce to you, Jean Rassoul

See, I coulda been a doctor, coulda been a lawyer

Coulda been that guy that prepares a meal for ya

A chef like Boyardee

But all of the above ain't who I be, see

I had to choose a path that suits me

And I gets to walk my way like Run and D

MC on the M-I-C, I be E

That cat jumpin' straight off the porch when you see me, I'm

Actin' bad, yo, a brother so throwed

I'm gettin' bigger and better, see how I done growed

I paid the toll and now I'm on the right road

I set the levels and now I'm in the right mode (Woo)

I'm often misunderstood but now I understand

And life's about the choices you make, bein' your own man

And my life's about what I hear in my head

And the words I write with my pen and my pad

And tryin' to obtain the finer things in life

And makin' your head bounce from the left to the right

My goal is the rope and I'm holdin' it tight

I'm gettin' mine and I'm runnin' like a thief in the night

At times I get confused, which way do I go?

So I take a look back at the ones who came before

Life is a blessing and so I don't abuse it

And if I got a choice to make, I'm choosin' music
