V1:
I was a small kid that harbored small dreams
took shelter in a paradigm built on small things.
I grew-up thinking I could never do much
I got these scales over my eyes; I’m like a tuna
floating in the ocean, traveling without a purpose
drifting away with the strong currents of this culture
I need a tune-up; gimme the proper fluids
sipping the water from the well has got me feeling super
thirsty, dehydrated, dirty, and mire-ridden.
At the age of 17, realized what I needed --
Christ; He’s risen and given a mission
tho my life was all about the refuge in vocation.
Hold-up, don’t tell my parents that I’m changing paces;
no longer desiring to chase the pesos.
Man, I know I gotta eat;
but is it worth the chase - to trash your dreams for security?


Hook:
You and I (put our trust in the Most High)
Stand with our hands held up high (and wave ‘em side-to-side cause)
me and you (are wondering what’s going on)
together whatever we do [have faith; keep moving along]

V2:
[I got] So many questions, so little answers -- I’m cluttered
The next chapter’s coming real soon -- man, I shudder
cause the pressure’s coming-in;
can’t fall-back to my summertimes again.
No retreat! Your upside and potential is now; you’re living in it,
given a chance to touch the sky -- no limit in it.
Your parents immigrated here
so that you could pursue the things this nation reveres.
Yo, I can’t blame ‘em for tryna make a better living
from eating ice-sickles to living in finer linens.
But how can I deny what happened in ‘07
-- regenerated; my focus shifted towards the heavens.
Cuz I left my old ways, they think I’m crazy.
no longer a good fella -- Martin Scorsese.
But mama, I got a God to follow,
a dream to catch, holler #YOGO as my motto [bravo]!

Pre-hook x2:
Got this one-time chance for the ages
to live it-up for myself
or to live like the sages who died for The Way
so that I could hear the truth for myself
