[Intro]
|
We could grow
|
We could develop
|
As we know, the heaven is not a place
|
And happiness lives in the heart
|
Long as the world keep turning
|
I do years, we keep on learning
|
Ya heard?
|
|
[Hook]
|
Keep on learning
|
And soaking up game
|
We gon make mistakes
|
We gon go through some things
|
Keep on growing
|
Keep on soaking up game
|
If something ain¡¯t working, don¡¯t be afraid to change
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Nobody know it all, as soon as you think you do ? that¡¯s when you fall
|
We gotta do more than survive, we must evolve
|
Things change just when you thought you seen it all
|
We trip, we stumble but we get back and strike
|
Each day, all the way, one step at a time
|
Don¡¯t wanna make my ego and pride make me blind
|
The elders say ¡°when you stop growing ? that¡¯s when you die¡±
|
The one who gets the knowledge is the one who asked ¡°why?¡±
|
Through the course of life, you gon taste some humble pie
|
But I love it ? it makes me appreciate the things that I take for granted
|
Gaining insight and understanding
|
Each one, teach one, we got to pass it on
|
Keep doing the knowledge, building and had in all
|
We¡¯re fake that need assumption
|
That nobody knows everything but everybody knows something
|
|
[Hook]
|
Keep on learning
|
And soaking up game
|
We gon make mistakes
|
We gon go through some things
|
Keep on growing
|
Keep on soaking up game
|
If something ain¡¯t working, don¡¯t be afraid to change
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Yo yo, the more you know, the more you know ? you don¡¯t know
|
And if you don¡¯t know there¡¯s more you can know then you won¡¯t grow
|
What you don¡¯t know can hurt you, discipline is a virtue
|
You gotta ask the right questions, it helps you go into cycles and cyphers and spirals
|
Information is viral, it infects you, it¡¯s contagious and have you going through stages
|
Like deny, you don¡¯t believe that
|
No, we didn¡¯t do that
|
Then reality set in, there¡¯s no disputin¡¯ the facts
|
Yo I¡¯m sorry if I woke you up, but we¡¯re not open up
|
It¡¯s like I¡¯m smoking but I¡¯m half the people, watch me soak it up
|
Huey said the best education is observation and participation
|
Study hard, the people be relatin¡¯
|
Different points of views turn bad news to good news
|
See, it¡¯s kinda like some shoes cuz they gotta make you move
|
Treat it like organic food, make it something you can chew
|
Information you can use, make it something you can do
|
|
[Hook]
|
Keep on learning
|
And soaking up game
|
We gon make mistakes
|
We gon go through some things
|
Keep on growing
|
Keep on soaking up game
|
If something ain¡¯t working, don¡¯t be afraid to change
|
|
[Interlude]
|
Aye man, it¡¯s okay to say you don¡¯t know
|
That¡¯s when you let go your ego
|
You¡¯re free from all illusion, dig?
|
Can¡¯t make moves in confusion
|
Don¡¯t look for conflict, man
|
Always look for the solution
|
And my pop said ¡°humility is a sign of wisdom¡±
|
But to really soak it in, now that¡¯s a different kind of listening
|
See man sharpen man
|
And every day is another lesson
|
And it¡¯s not fair you only learn man
|
It¡¯s a blessing
|
And as the Buddha says, ¡°nothing lasts forever¡±
|
You gotta manage your expectations
|
The less we pray, the less we suffer
|
And this way we awaken
|
Right understanding
|
Right thought
|
Right speech
|
Right action
|
Right livelihood
|
Right effort
|
Right mindfulness
|
Right focus
|
Keep soaking
|
Soak it up
|
|
