Making Progress - Blackalicious[00:00:00]

We keep embellishing upon the new unchartered path[00:00:10]

Expressing what we see and how we comprehend the math[00:00:13]

So there's enough for everyone[00:00:16]

We gotta make it last we gotta make it last[00:00:17]

As I embark on life's journey from the point where I'm at[00:00:20]

Peace to everyone I know and who I go way back[00:00:23]

With every pimp every mack every gang star the Jack[00:00:26]

Every hustler feeding babies anybody pro-black[00:00:29]

Every sister raising kids without the help of a dad[00:00:31]

Wanting for they're children all the things that they never had[00:00:33]

All the brothers handling businesses I know sh*t's hard[00:00:36]

Waking up at 5 a m holding down 3 jobs[00:00:39]

All my Rasta brethren getting insight from trees[00:00:41]

To my brothers up in college getting PhD's[00:00:44]

Or any other degree even if you just reading for mental health[00:00:47]

Feed your conscious so that your mind is free[00:00:50]

All my people locked down for your past mistakes[00:00:52]

Mentally and spiritually dwelling past the gates[00:00:54]

You can change your ways elevate today[00:00:57]

To all recovered alcoholics chillin' up in A A [00:00:59]

Every black-owned business keep doin' for self[00:01:02]

Helpin' out the community and spreadin' the wealth[00:01:05]

Understanding help ain't gonna come from nowhere else[00:01:07]

Revolutionary's fakin' me and just get dealt[00:01:10]

With head on black people got to lead the task[00:01:13]

Educate keep learnin' got to question ask[00:01:15]

And let your light keep shinin' and remember the past[00:01:18]

By any means necessary you'll be free at last[00:01:21]

We keep embellishing upon the new unchartered path[00:01:23]

Expressing what we see and how we comprehend the math[00:01:26]

So there's enough for everyone[00:01:29]

We gotta make it last we gotta make it last[00:01:30]

As I embark on life's journey from the point where I'm at[00:01:54]

Peace to everybody strivin' to live right and exact[00:01:58]

Even though anxieties try to pull you down[00:02:00]

See your troubles as a blessing and you're homeward bound[00:02:02]

Everybody gotta struggle that's the way of the world[00:02:05]

Can't develop biceps if you don't do curls[00:02:08]

Can't achieve a garden if you never water your crops[00:02:10]

If you never pay your dues then you don't get props[00:02:13]

Couldn't eat a proper meal without cooking it first[00:02:16]

Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work[00:02:18]

If it wasn't for the rain then the trees won't grow[00:02:21]

When the spring came around what a site to bestow[00:02:24]

When you face adversities dark cloud won't last[00:02:26]

If you never study how do you expect to pass[00:02:29]

The grasshoppers laid around while the ants did chores[00:02:31]

When the winter came around he was left outdoors[00:02:34]

See the cycle keeps moving like a big machine[00:02:36]

Evolution of the mind soul body and being[00:02:39]

God'll never put up on you more than you can take[00:02:42]

Sometimes you even gotta learn from other people's mistakes[00:02:44]

With head on black people got to lead the task[00:02:47]

Educate keep learnin' got to question ask[00:02:50]

And let your light keep shinin' and remember the past[00:02:52]

By any means necessary you'll be free at least[00:02:55]

We keep embellishing upon the new unchartered path[00:02:58]

Expressing what we see and how we comprehend the math[00:03:00]

So there's enough for everyone we gotta make it last[00:03:03]

We gotta make it last we gotta make it last[00:03:06]
