Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lookin' out on my life, my sights
In the fast lane, it's a rat race
Give me time, give me time
Changin' pathways
Might take some practice
Take some practice
Might take some practice
[Verse 2]
My daddy said it was rainin'
Mama said it was snowin'
Heaven opened it's door and born a Chicagoan
Life not knowin', laughin', learnin', growin'
The wind keep blowin'
Streets reapin' and sewin'
Rollin' with my stolen moments and I
Live and die gettin' by
That's the motion of Chi
Free and pain are identical
Intervals of a inner-school
Lyrical what the spirit do
Miracles when I interview myself
Waitin' for my soul to reply
No matter where I go, the answer is why
There goes the wind again, a emblem
Of divine adrenaline and I'ma sin again
Forgiveness is a synonym for live and live again
The world need a D.R. like the Dominican
Republic the subject is matter over mind
Life is a practice that travellin' in time
[Verse 3]
Might take some practice
Take some practice
Might take some practice
[Verse 4]
Lookin' out on my life, my sights
In the fast lane, it's a rat race
Give me time, give me time
Changin' pathways
Might take some practice
Take some practice
Might take some practice
[Verse 5]
Mountains sing songs, kings dream long
In simple acts is when the scene forms
I improv to improve and involve the been-throughs
Through them falls and them fools, brick walls and venues
Symbols assembled to continue
It was written and God don't use pencils
Dementin ' and dementin' an extensions of a man
Intention of divine interventin' in the plan
Remnants of when I ran footprints in the sand
The son of man gave me a tan, that's who I am
The emphatical, radical, mathematical
Travelled all capitals, a actual fact, extract practical
I seen pain to make the day cry
It take practice, somebody tell A.I.
Everyday I pray I stay my course
Hopin' my actions obey my thoughts
[Verse 6]
Might take some practice
Take some practice
Might take some practice
[Verse 7]
Lookin' out on my life, my sights
In the fast lane, it's a rat race
Give me time, give me time
Changin' pathways
Might take some practice
Take some practice
Might take some practice
