We all need some positive vibes to work with this year! This hip-hop based song features my lovely bride on the chorus vocals. This song was originally recorded in 2013 and has been rediscovered and remastered for this lovely year of 2020.
lyrics
Yo A journey of 1000 miles starts with one step
So put a foot in front of the other and hope you don't trip
And if my throat quits, i'll still be chokin on this
Rawness im coughing couldn't stop it with a lozenge
Enjoy the ride, cause the journeys the reward
And don't quit following your vision cause your path is unexplored
Just grab your life by the reigns, cold snatch it
And know that an idea's not a plot until you hatch it
Release the latch and lets open up the flood gate
Make your moves now, you might wish that you had someday
And there's no one way streets in this metaphor
Don't worry about mistakes make none and you'll regret it more
Im taking baby steps and i don't care who follows me
I'm trying to wake the world up. Abrupt, no apology
A small effort, but an effort none the less
Cause a step could spark a marathon if people coalesce. One step
This is life, this is now, this is our chance to make a sound
It's up to you, your dreams are only a step away
So keep your head up, and keep your feet moving
Never give up, just do what you do
It's up to you, our dreams are only a step away
Layin complacently and waiting for the world to change
Is similar to playing dead, surrendering your will and brain
Everyday displays another greater moment laid to say that
This is all we got, so we can't afford to stay the same
Imagine life if nobody ever took a step
If MLK decided not to use his breath
If no one ever raised a question to a king
No one ever revolutionized the way we think on everything
Plato and socrates, didn't speak philosophies
Nostradamus didn't write so we could think its prophecies
We've got a lot of tools, waiting to be utilized
Getting scrutinized is better than waiting to be euthanized
From truth to lies history is being written now
And we make it change if we can stand to say we had the power
So will you wait for life to pass and call what happens fate
Or look it in the face when you make it to the plate, one step
This is life, this is now, this is our chance to make a sound
It's up to you, your dreams are only a step away
So keep your head up, and keep your feet moving
Never give up, just do what you do
It's up to you, our dreams are only a step away
A small step for a man but a giant leap for mankind
You could change the world if you'd open up your damn mind
And if you stand by, just reciting bland lines
Then why'd you grap a microphone I just don't understand why
You got the podium and the crowds attention
So go and make a move, doesn't matter what direction
The thing about people is we always seem to section
And choose the routes around each other instead of intersecting
This cult of ignorance is a fire were feeding
And catching more victims in the tangled web were weaving
Practice to deceive for obedience all we need
Is a system just to tell us who we need to be believing
It's all p-to the r-o-p-, a-g-anda, if you feel it too
Go and put a fisted hand up
It's all planned up, but we're out of sight now
If we can say that we're about to Take our step right now, one step
This is life, this is now, this is our chance to make a sound
It's up to you, your dreams are only a step away
So keep your head up, and keep your feet moving
Never give up, just do what you do
It's up to you, our dreams are only a step away
