It's like we get so hung up on the destination
That we forget to look around us
And see that we've arrived
It's like we get so hung up on the destination
To be an illustrator
Vocally, interpreting hyperbole
I'm working hard to pay the bills
While balancing and surfacing the haters' negativity
Worthy to own my dreams?
No they not
I take control of everything that I've got
I take a pen and then plot
I pray for inspiration day-in-day-out
Speak to me Muse and let my ballpoint shout
I'm integratin' words on paper just to see what they bout
My mind is clearest when I'm steerin'
Just to figure out the lyrics, pushin' pencils in high gear
And I'll move forward without fearin' what they industry expects from me
Label me an MC till I die
So reverently I'll keep my head to the sky
I'm making music for myself so best believe I'll make it right
So best believe I'll make it tight
And what you're hearing here tonight is productivity
I'm Rhymer/Educator
Say it right
Nobody in the world can do it like I do it
So I'll just keep on working harder till I finally prove it (Come on)
It's like we get so hung up on the destination
That we forget to look around us
And see that we've arrived
It's like we get so hung up on the destination
That we forget to look around us
And see that we've arrived
Arrived

Not a celebrity
But ready for the currency
I feel a sense of urgency in music for someone who puts his heart in his work
My heart is beating and the bass is alert
I feel a newer sense of breathing when the pain is endured
Just like a newer sense of seeing when the canvas is blurred
Just like a newer sense of speaking
Words are properly slurred
Inhale, exhale it all out
Will I prevail or will I just sell out?
We intertwined in a world where dimes used to be money
Now they good looking honies
We separated by the slang that we use and all the words
That we choose to change a language that was useful
Universal, now it's regional and seasonal
Still crucial is the fact that we're responsible for everyone who listens
Speaking substance on the track to lift up rap has been my mission
Advance and art form that has made our hearts warm
In death we don't part from what has made our hearts one
It's like we get so hung up on the destination
That we forget to look around us
And see that we've arrived
It's like we get so hung up on the destination
That we forget to look around us
And see that we've arrived
