Show Me the Way

The harder the work well the longer the day

Easy may come but it sure don’t stay

Tryin’ to cope, boy I hope and I pray

Show me the way

The harder the work well the longer the day

Easy may come but it sure don’t stay

Tryin’ to cope, boy, I hope and I pray

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way

I say hello to my people, hello to the day

I watch the world on wheels

Hit the yellow and grey

The ones don’t work are the ones who don’t eat

And once again I’m from that city where that sun don’t sleep

It’s time to get live because the terms is breeched

Ride the wave like the world is a beach

Learn more I teach

I was raised by NWA and stayed CA

All day, same story different briefcase

I’m nonchalant to others pedaling weight

I got a purpose to serving up and settle my state

Been through it, all of it, great

Put the ruler to the movement, all of it’s straight

Big fish even calling ‘em bait

One love, one dish, see ‘em all on my plate

I take the lady on a vacay, she call it a date

Now she calling in sick, now she calling in late

The harder the work well the longer the day

Easy may come but it sure don’t stay

Tryin’ to cope, boy, I hope and I pray

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way

I’ve been through some pitfalls that knocked me down

Made it through close calls and lost some ground

It’s a hell of a price I pay

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way

The moon tagged the sun in

Love to be alive, feet hit the ground running

Butterflies in my stomach

Like the matrix tryin’ to get it

Tryin’ to learn a lot from it

On a planet in regression in a loft at the summit

Air is much clearer, catch me on the high road

Some fight to live, others settle for survival

It’s your world, you can write the line you live your life on

It’s heavy but you’re strong just hold on until that light dawns

It’s started now, pardon me we’re partying

Escalating, redefining the state of the art again

Celebrated, elevators open up to secret floors

Different rules and secret laws, from the roof you’ll see the stars

Only fear boredom in a world of raw materials

Excite by potential, inspired by adventure

Calculated circles the circumference and the radius

The only guest to float without a float through the parade is us

The harder the work well the longer the day

Easy may come but it sure don’t stay

Tryin’ to cope, boy, I hope and I pray

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way

I’ve been through some pitfalls that knocked me down

Made it through close calls and lost some ground

It’s a hell of a price I pay

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way

It’s routine, by the beach I rise

First up, I hit the weed then I bleach my eyes

Then it’s to the drum machine to speak my mind

Tracks like fitted hats, pick a beat my size

Energized, on the darkest streets I shine

Saw the light up on the mountain to the peak I climb

Breathtaking new perspectives on the life I grind

First tear of joy fell, looking like I’m crying

For just a moment

The feeling of being content, not needing a dollar or a cent

Smile for my mama ‘cause she proud

The studio, my headphones’ loud

Bridge builders will connect these crowds

Dedicated on my honor you can check these vows

That’s purpose, power to make the powerful nervous

Hard work ain’t easy but easy usually ain’t worth it

They say...

The harder the work well the longer the day

Easy may come but it sure don’t stay

Tryin’ to cope, boy, I hope and I pray

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way

I’ve been through some pitfalls that knocked me down

Made it through close calls and lost some ground

It’s a hell of a price I pay

Somebody show me the way

Somebody show me the way
