Man in Motion Video (MV)

Try and make a way
Try and make a way
When I couldn't see a way
Still had to make a way
Today
Not tomorrow but today
When I couldn't see a way
I give you the purest high
This the honest dope
Traditional practice is always pushing the envelope
Push myself to the limits
Jump off the cliff like Geronimo
Used to want to be perfect
I had to kill that persona though
Every place that I'm at is a step towards where I'm tryna go
Truly my highest goal is to live in peace and be honorable
I had my lower moments
F*ckboy tendencies
I been my own opponent
Now I destroy enemies
Within my mind's creation
Amplify my inner voice as living affirmations
Silence the agitation
Science in application challenging my pensive nature
Praxis is a discipline that gives my vision weight
Contemplate, demonstrate
This my living way
Measure wealth not as possession but what I give away
Abundance be the theme for every risen day
With a bit of faith I create a self-driven fate
I never drop down to my knees and pray
I didn't trust the voices inside my head
I light a candle up and meditate
Then I make my prayer with my legs
Man in motion, Man in motion
Man in motion, Man in motion
Man in motion, Man in motion
Never did I believe in a mystery god
Skeptical of schools because their version of history's odd
Accepting half truths will have your ass spooked
I don't call information knowledge unless I have proof
That's why it's noted how I bash booths
I bring scholarship to the mic then I get funky like a bad tooth
Gadzooks
I beautifully splash loops
Ambrosia
The jam closer when I slam groove
I set the grand standard from the bandstand
Each of us reps all of us
I'm sticking to my fam's plan
If I left a bad example, try to make amends
I've seen responses to mistakes that make or break a friend
From this moment, I've forgiven trespasses
That's coming from the heart like I'm giving chest passes
Leading with love
I know that's the best practice
Tryna make a fortune and share it with those with less access
I never drop down to my knees and pray
I didn't trust the voices inside my head
I light a candle up and meditate
Then I make my prayer with my legs
Man in motion, Man in motion
Man in motion, Man in motion
Man in motion, Man in motion
I feel reborn, breaking out of my shell
As the light lands, I am awakened out of my hell
My cousin is locked up, I can't break him out of his cell
But I write to give him relief that take him out of the jail
When he free his mind
The system be designed to have us led astray
Ghetto life never improves
We wanna get away
Tryna turn the worse nights into better days
The words to summarize our experience I could never say
You from the slums? Then I ain't gotta explain
You can feel it in the air and a lot of it's pain
Urban plans and redlines made to drive us insane
Being treated second class can really rot in your brain
But I reject that, step back and spot what is plain
AmeriKKKa was built on having niggas locked up in chains
The hood is a Colosseum
Are you not entertained?
Neither am I
So I need to be on top of my game
I never drop down to my knees and pray
I didn't trust the voices inside my head
I light a candle up and meditate
Then I make my prayer with my legs
Man in motion, Man in motion
Man in motion, Man in motion
Man in motion, Man in motion
