lyrics

(Doc Os)
Take something significant to reach a nation
So many can't wake up from the dream they're chasing
Printed with the penmanship, they fingerpaint it
It seems unlimited, but isn't it a recreation?
People raging, but it's the sentiment
Divide and conquer playbook the pages ripped from it
and right or wrong, it ain't easy to be courageous
they're fighting harder now just to maintain their spaces
wide and far, now the wilderness always ranges
So why are so many buildings remaining vacant
as it gets harder to make rent
a quiet storm has been brewing outside the gates, then
while the kings and lord had been embroidered in libation
Might have been ok in moderation, that ain't this
I caught em wasted the drain drips,
they're taking long vacations and train trips with the water spraying
its all craziness but you're not insane
and they're still reaching for the payment
so props to those who labor to feed the nation
with no expectation of citizen appreciation

So do you got heart?
Can you do your part?
So much going on where do we start?
eh the game has changed, it's a new ballpark
But we still get the floor moving with art

(the Clurk)
Did anybody tell you about all the miracles around this town?
from your local pub to checking out all the sounds
music seems to help me figure out my inner peace
always had a softer side for picking someone up that's weak
had it happen all the time to me
when just a phone call away could be somebody bringing me the piece
drink through the sorrows that drain you
refrain from despair rather you'd be cool
calling all the heavy hitters and 9 to 5 go-getters
classed out wearing the best leathers
don't want to send the wrong vibe, think it feels strange
usually, I got a lot on my body, heart, and my brain
proposing truth in a world full of grime
catch me in the park with my homies soaking in the sunshine

So do you got heart?
Can you do your part?
So much going on where do we start?
eh the game has changed, it's a new ballpark
But we still get the floor moving with art
