	Story Behind the Song This song was motivated by the music. The lyrics mean "We're dedicated to making this music, in it for the long haul, despite all the b.s. we face along the way". This song was written in the studio, just after the beat was multitracked. Jade walked in, basically was like "yeah, I'm getting on this one" and started writing. I loved her hook and concept and first verse and thought it fit really well. It took 20 minutes or so to write, and another 15 to record (very few takes). Lyrics (Jade) Issues get choosed, therefore I choose to digest issues Like all these wack mc's that do all that wackin' Get all whacked up in the face if they keep up all this actin' I'ma bend you over tha old bones With these scriptures that I've written in stone Through my spiritual vocal tones stayin' in motion Toward motivation still prayin' That I can live in a better place before you take it The millenium of major transactions Havin' me sendin' 'em on to hell and all the way back again I ain't got a whole lot to say But what i'm about to say got a whole lot of meanin' These demons they got me schemin', screamin' And out of darkness comes the son gleamin' Beamin' just to put a smile on my face with one take I'ma let it manifest itself while I'm dreamin' 'stead of while I'm awake (chorus x2) I wish I could find overnight success But for now I just wanna put my skills to the test Before my head take rest in a graveyard chest I hope to be last but not least, next to the best (Bavu) At times my legs seem weak, can't feel my feet beneath me Though they keep movin' up and down the street Need some bread for real, so I head uphill Instead of makin' moves, it's like I'm on a treadmill Or standing still Whatever the deal, I play my cards and odds Seein' a bright horizon ain't that hard But it's dark, though, and hot, too Humid like a land flu I got a beat I wrote to (they might not understand you) That ain't too much to handle Though I'm a man wit' only two hands Like a session wish I could stretch my time So much to do, damn, relax 'causeIi'm not really in control, let it roll Lose the Ice Cube eyebrows for now Got a lotta land to plow, and a bunch of seeds to sow Eat by the bushel at harvest time, but still I gotta grow (chorus x2) (Jade) Realizing that I got more emotions than paper Has me devoted to givin' it all just a little bit more flava These silly investigators, better known as playa hataz For the limited mind, all I'm simply sayin' is that I'm tryin' to survive 'Cause if it was left up to me we would all be flyin' Step out your shoes and a little bit further in to mine Fell the pressure deeper in your spine More difficult than them normal unexpected times Could easily go from underground to mainstream But with my flow I'd rather keep 'em guessing on potential I'm possessing (Bavu) Counting my blessings, 'cause every day that I grind Is teaching me a lesson, all good things take time So I'm steady progressing, hustling as I create Rushing though I still gotta wait for that release date Yearning for that sweet taste in my mouth when I finally come out Whole hood's lined up, fine, now I'm having a good time (chorus x2)
