Overstand - Dead Prez[00:00:00]

Are we addicted to the struggle or committed to success[00:00:22]

Are we focused on the positive or holdin' onto stress[00:00:24]

Not sayin' thing's perfect but in many ways I'm blessed[00:00:27]

Learnin' how to take the negative and flip for the best[00:00:30]

Everyday bring challenge every challenge is a chance to advance[00:00:33]

The power is right in our own hands[00:00:36]

From a youth full of rage to a wise grown man[00:00:38]

Here I am life is beautiful now I overstand[00:00:41]

I'm lookin' forward through my rear view mirror in hindsight[00:00:43]

Gotta be more than just a G[00:00:46]

If you keepin' your mind right[00:00:48]

Better be ready for the battle or focused on my fight[00:00:49]

I ain't sittin' on no sidelines watchin' them highlights[00:00:52]

I'ma be in the game playin' to win but learnin' from setbacks[00:00:55]

Strengthen my weaknesses and masterin' what I'm best at[00:00:57]

Power of refinement[00:01:00]

Until you get right and exact[00:01:02]

It's all in your mind[00:01:03]

But that depends on where your head's at[00:01:04]

Where your head's at[00:01:06]

Life is a chess match and lessons come from your mistakes[00:01:06]

Try not to end up in checkmate no matter whatever it takes[00:01:08]

Long as you're breathin'[00:01:12]

Then you can be problem solvin'[00:01:13]

Stayin' involved evolved world keeps revolvin'[00:01:14]

For the 'cause be all you can[00:01:17]

From the mornin' to the sunset[00:01:19]

You never have no regrets[00:01:21]

Took the journey to the edge of your fate and then lept[00:01:22]

Not just understandin' but overstandin' is the objective[00:01:25]

Keep it open in perspective[00:01:29]

Just let me be what I am[00:01:31]

Take my destiny in my hands[00:01:37]

By my actions you can judge where I stand[00:01:41]

And I hope one day you'll overstand[00:01:47]

Change come from the inside out[00:01:51]

No fear live free let the truth ride out[00:01:53]

I'm steady shakin' off the shackles of the old me[00:01:56]

Wakin' up daily meditation feelin' so free[00:01:59]

They hate to see you change yeah[00:02:02]

But they don't understand no[00:02:03]

Unless you see for yourself then you won't comprehend[00:02:04]

The caterpillar don't care what you think about him[00:02:07]

He was born to be fly his nature[00:02:10]

Gonna bring it outta him[00:02:11]

By the struggle I was never broken I was broken open[00:02:13]

I tapped into a source that was omnipotent[00:02:15]

Had to shift my focus to my higher purpose[00:02:18]

Ain't nothing weak about broke it takes a fighter's courage[00:02:21]

People say they want a revolution[00:02:24]

But steady holdin' on the slave ideas afraid of evolution[00:02:26]

In life we live and learn it's practice theory practice[00:02:29]

Wisdom is organically grown it's not pre packaged[00:02:32]

It's forward baby never backwards[00:02:35]

Just let me be what I am[00:02:37]

Take my destiny in my hands[00:02:43]

By my actions you can judge where I stand[00:02:48]

And I hope one day you'll overstand[00:02:53]

We think we found the absolute truth[00:02:57]

But only to discover[00:02:58]

It's a labyrinth[00:02:59]

We go from one maze into another[00:03:00]

So many chambers and angles peelin' the onion layers[00:03:02]

Within it all I see the same gang just different players[00:03:05]

So I rebel from the prison cell of the pigeon hole[00:03:08]

And dare to be myself original[00:03:11]

A man lives on principles[00:03:12]

I don't posture to be popular[00:03:14]

Born to be a leader not just a blind follower[00:03:16]

It's family before the dollar your priorities in order[00:03:18]

And like Bruce Lee say[00:03:21]

Be the water be the earth be the wind and the fire[00:03:22]

Elevate take it higher[00:03:25]

It's instinct fulfill your needs and your desires[00:03:27]

But we go to be compassionate considerate the people's advocate[00:03:29]

Eradicatin' ignorance through experience[00:03:33]

The more you live the more you learn and you grow[00:03:35]

It has a positive effect on all the people you know[00:03:37]

It's motivation[00:03:41]

Just let me be what I am[00:03:43]

Take my destiny in my hands[00:03:49]

By my actions you can judge where I stand[00:03:54]

And I hope one day you'll overstand[00:03:59]

Are we addicted to the struggle[00:04:03]

Or committed to success[00:04:04]

Are we focused on the positive or holdin' onto stress[00:04:05]

Not sayin' thing's perfect[00:04:08]

But in many ways I'm blessed[00:04:09]

Learnin' how to take the negative and flip for the best[00:04:11]

Everyday bring challenge[00:04:13]

Every challenge is a chance to advance[00:04:15]

The power is right in our own hands[00:04:17]

From a youth full of rage to a wise grown man[00:04:19]

Here I am life is beautiful now I overstand[00:04:22]

Stand[00:04:24]

And I hope one day that you will overstand[00:04:27]

Look at things without any opinion[00:04:31]

Otherwise you'll never look at reality[00:04:34]

Look at things without[00:04:37]

Any philosophy without[00:04:38]

Any prejudice without[00:04:40]

Any dogma creed or scripture[00:04:42]

Just look without arrogance[00:04:45]

And see the 'cause of ignorance and overstand[00:04:48]

Change is necessary to evolution[00:05:07]

The universe contains incredible diversity[00:05:11]

And you cannot experience[00:05:13]

It all within the confines[00:05:14]

Of one comfortable lifestyle[00:05:16]

Look ahead to what[00:05:19]

You will think of your life at it's end[00:05:20]

You will probably not want[00:05:23]

To look back and say it was cozy and dull[00:05:24]

Thus react positively to what seems[00:05:28]

To be disaster[00:05:30]

Remember that what seems now[00:05:32]

To be disaster may be an important[00:05:33]

Step toward evolution[00:05:35]

And may even be identifiable as[00:05:37]

Such at some point in the future[00:05:39]

Every great loss takes you out[00:05:42]

Of a rut and starts life anew[00:05:43]

Be grateful for the time[00:05:46]

You had and your former happy state[00:05:47]

And look forward eagerly to the new phase[00:05:50]
