Paving the Way - Incise

Kick off my sheets the summer heat's got me sweatin'

Turn up this beat help me ease with the stressing

Open up the blinds realized that

I'm blessed with life

Bright future in sight

When I stand on the balcony looking in the distance

Never hanging on the fence drowning in suspense

Not tense at what expense do we swim in the substance

That we can't see love with

Love this air I breathe

Hang with good peeps

That's what I need

Imbibe with hip hop heads is what I feed on

A real song comes from the heart never be gone

With the wind coming out the mountain top

Pacific breeze on my feet taking off my socks

At the beach as the tide rolls into the land

I see life as a grain of sand damn

You don't have to wait for the wind to take you away

They say it's never too late

If you're needing a change

There's nothing to lose if there's nothing to gain

Just start paving the way

Before you start fading away

You know how the youngin's out of london do

Coming through with another tune from the heart

It ain't nothing new

From the crew okay city they love to do

I live to rhyme but when the

When the times isn't butter smooth

Hustling and make a buck or two under huge stress

Trying not to catch a bullet in your bubble goose

Up at noon with your big heart crushed in two

'Cuz you love your boo but she ain't loving you

Single mother's trying to trust a dude

And keep food in the cupboard plus

She kid got the stomach flu

The other two's messing up at school

And you jumping through a bunch of hoops

At work so they don't cut you loose

It's just the truth sometimes there isn't much that you

Can do about it besides try to adjust the view

And see above the blues

I know it's tough to do at times

So we try and bring up the mood like

You don't have to wait for

The wind to take you away

They say it's never too late

If you're needing a change

There's nothing to lose

If there's nothing to gain

Just start paving the way

Before you start fading away

Here's the recipe for classic it's a smash hit

Down to earth real life's so full of magic

Mics to see in acid as life itself

But it's tragic when his casket reflects what I felt

God help I know you're there following me

'Cuz my faith is the evidence of things unseen

I had a dream I saw my dad telling me

That he's proud

His death has finally hit me

And it's been 10 years now

Wow it's funny how these obstacles complicate and dominate

The rough rugged and raw road we choose travel

Battle through dimensions touching catches of luck

Keep looking up sometimes it feels like too much

I clench my fist in anger

Where the happiness keeps me full

The artist is the matador and the industry's the bull

My stomach's full I'm pulling out

That last one made an ulcer

Throw it out and look at life

It's time to rock a concert

You don't have to wait for the wind to take you away

They say it's never too late if you're needing a change

There's nothing to lose if there's nothing to gain

Just start paving the way before you start fading away

Fading away
