Sit back and watch the progress
T- t- t- t- t- t- teacher, teacher,
how can I learn patience?
Planted in the middle and
Free the, free the good inside your heart
it needs you to travel with your art
some day they'll all know
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Chicago
When I used to look up curse
If life's a game, gotta choose a side to play
If I gotta pick a position
I've had a little bit too much
But it's cool, I be alright,
just make sure that I keep travellin
Your reactions only reinforce
You'd feel the distance even if
That you could conjure in an
instant that it takes to breathe
I got my Duplos and blocks and Lincoln
Logs for when it's time to build
I wait patiently for them to
T- t- t- t- t- t- t- teacher, teacher,
show me what you know now
Visit Atlanta, Memphis, Tulsa, Texas
check the mics, fight the wreckage
Keep the, keep the motive
Let em know where you come from
and show them how you do it
Learn em how to take they minutes,
voice just to go over heads
If I felt as if I had somethin special to tell
Why would I work against myself
and hide it under my belt?
I used to try to lace the phrases
translation attached to it
They saw the style, respected the craft
But all I did was confuse em,
would try to get em to laugh
Painted pictures in the primer,
Why should I waste any oxygen
Tryin to find the in- between- the-
lines that they get lost within?
I'm out there for the craft, for the cause
The laughter, the applause,
the passion for the flaws
The fact that I'ma draw some
Lift em all up until they try
reach the masses won by singular
They hold you and they smile when they
feel what you can bring to the
Breath control and he kept it whole, be-
If you lose a few those that remain
Freedom is a word not heard
Can't fix the machine if you don't
we're not from this planet
We come from somewhere else
And you can't understand it
Cause you don't know yourself
But when the time is right
Our path will be unveiled
Till then you seek your light
While I sit and bite my nails
