Mind Notes Pt.17 'We Got To Live'




Somehow
We got to live
We got live live
Sometimes
We got to give
We got to give give
Somehow
We got to try
We got to try
Survival of the fittest man
It's fly or die

Somehow
We got to live
We got to live live
Sometimes
We got to give
We got to give give
Somehow
We got to live under the sky
Life's such a struggle man
Got us wondering why


Life is like a big deal
Wheel and deal
Life is like a big steal
Steal and kill
Life is like a big wheel
Spin and spill
We need to take some time
To spread love and chill
There's too much tension
Too much to mention
We need a swift exit
Or a swift intervention
We need to stand still
And take a minute
Can't see the bigger picture
Because your too lost in it
This is the game of life
Hold your position in this tradition
Stay low p
Keep your ears open and listen
Because beef ends in hospital beds
And mans in prison
May of had the brain power
But they didn't have the vision
Subliminal propaganda
Promoted by the system
Don't believe everything you read
And see on tell lie vision
Because the aim of the system
Is to maintain division
They try and divide and rule us
But we keep on living


Straight for the love of the aim
Straight at the heart
We be making real music
That's close to the heart
I ain't got no blood brothers
But I got life brothers
Real brothers
Unconditional regard brothers
From a little boy
I learned about this society
Clocking knowledge
From real people surrounding me
Even when I was too little
To understand suffering
I knew life wasn't fair
In this world we was living in
So I stuck to real people
And real pursuits
Avoid material individuals
Who be chasing that loot
And now I'm cooking up a storm
With my lyrical pen
Spreading peace love and knowledge
With my family friends
Because the pen is a powerful thing
We need expression
We need positive messages
And living life lessons
Too many confused individuals
Something's got to give
We need to wake up the world
Because everybody's got to live


I'm trying to play my part
But this life is harsh
So I sit and write a rhyme
And think about the past
Freedom of speech
So I speak my views freely
Certain people hate
But real people always keep peace
Because there will always be
Real people under the surface
Things ain't always what they seem
You got to question the purpose
A lot of things about this world
Are getting to us
So we sharing our views
Over keys and kick drums
A little slice of life
A few thoughts for the day
Watching stories play out
In so many different ways
We can reflect on life
Forever and ever
Trying to make sense
Of all these different
Thoughts and endeavours
Some people say
What goes around
Comes around
But life's complicated
As this world spins round
Sometimes this mad maze
Got people feeling lost
But we've got to spread peace and love
At all costs
