Jclay On Along The Way
"I guess I never understood how you
Could tell another person what to value
It's like you telling them what they allowed to
Appreciate so what you make it gets devalued
If it's not in line with the money makers
They say have dreams
But then they try to wake you
Use words like realistic and it's human nature
Real is only used when you feel like a faker
Somehow I noticed this when others didn't
I tried to raise the questions
But they kept them hidden
I really didn't know so I just went wit it
Learned to see in dark like I'm dimwitted
Didn't know that I was smart or considered gifted
Just knew that no matter what it was I could get it
I would tell others, they were quick to nix it
Being foul wit it, but I wouldn't pivot
And we go on along the way
And we go on along the way
We go on along the way
And we go on along the way
And we go on along the way
And we go on along the way
We go on along the way
And we go on along the way
And we go on
I know
About yo fears
And why you stay
Living here
I'll show you
A better way
Give all you've got to now
And none to yesterday
I never understood why I do know
What I do know
And we was in the same class
But it's the view though
I used to always ask
What was true though
But they just said don't ask
And you know
There was many cuz I said so's
Plenty head lows
Going with the flow fearful though like a scarecrow
Telling me what I should be scared for
Of everything and anything, be careful
Was the mantra
Every other phrase was a contra
Diction was fiction
Conviction was somber
Thinking that you have to be a judge just to be honored
Thinking that yo treasures and your blessings can be squandered
So we learn to protect
But if it can be harmed, is it really worth it
Yet, so we learn to protect
But if it can be harmed, is it really worth it
And we go on along the way
And we go on along the way
We go on along the way
And we go on along the way
And we go on along the way
And we go on along the way
We go on along the way
And we go on along the way
And we go on
I know
About yo fears
And why you stay
Living here
I'll show you
A better way
Give all you've got to now
And none to yesterday
Never will I ever be only
Never could I ever be lonely
Never could I ever be solely
Anything, but everything, I wanna be"
