We're gonna, begin at the beginning
Move to the middle, then to the end
Beginning and the end is the same place
Birth, life, death, keep movin', yeah, see
Inside my own hustle, I tread a sea of my own tears
It's a selection, my own fears, based on a past that hasn't cleared
I wanna move on completely, add my ship to the fleet
But somehow I shared the knowledge and replaced it with belief
Somewhere within the competition I submerged and ran across
Now my breathin's skippin' pattern, but the race is far from lost
I crossed the path of my fate, but there late and still made it
Stay straight, stay paced, till the cycle is completed
Nothin' wrong with movin', it's improvement, use it wisely
Cause you're caught surprised, we are all mesmerized, we see
We're keepin' focused on the purpose of the journey
Yo, we're watchin' closely
I'm watching the sky (I'm watching the sky)
Keeping my head high (keeping my head high)
You will see the light (you will see the light)
Don't let go, don't you know
You'll be alright, ease your mind, elevated
Don't look down, don't you frown
You'll be just fine, free your mind, elevated
I want fact not opinion, God not religion
Spirit no persona, passion not disorder
Blood that's more than water and brother's who love their daughter
With a future to support the presence to record the truth
We bought the package now they're chargin' for sky
Never fightin' much for nothing cause we like how they lie
It's so pretty, what a pity that it's permanent ink
Now you really wanna cry but they don't pay you to blink
Beautiful to me (beautiful to see)
Beautiful to see (you're finally free)
You're finally free (free, yeah)
And everything's better free
Don't let go, don't you know
You'll be alright, ease your mind, elevated
Don't look down, don't you frown
You'll be just fine, free your mind, elevated
See ya, freedom isn't given
It just is as you are, so be it, yeah
See ya, happiness is a state of mind
It shouldn't be affected by anything external, see
Breathe.... breathe
Peace, love...
Let yourself breathe
You're alright
Move to the middle, then to the end
Beginning and the end is the same place
Birth, life, death, keep movin', yeah, see
