Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I pray thee, I pray thee once again
How wonderful it is surrounded by ones of such talent
You know?
[Verse 2]
Speak life
Live a humble and meek life
Ordinary day of the week life
Try to search and seek life
[Verse 3]
Way up
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Keep your head up and stay up
Oh-oo-whoa-oh
Even when you're sore and paler
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Never giving up till it's game up
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Keep your aim up
[Verse 4]
And focus
Don't concentrate on what's bogus
Never sell out for a bonus
Handle your bills like grown ups
Own up
[Verse 5]
It's amazing
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
The way Ja fire keeps blazing
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
That's why I constantly praise it
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
For some of them it's a phase
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
So they're gazing
[Verse 6]
On the street lights
Till them gon' catch up in street fights
'Cause a pretending they're street wise
And put an end to a brief life
I feel like
[Verse 7]
It's a mystery
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
How we keep repeating our history
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Making the same mistakes as our ancestry
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Seems like all of life lessons messed with
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
It's risky
[Verse 8]
So give praises
One day you may find your oasis
Rise up to the challenge you're faced with
Be humble and creative
You'll make it
[Verse 9]
It's basics
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
People been doing it for ages
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
In many other cultures and places
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
On a regular basis
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
There's so many cases
[Verse 10]
Let's face it, man
Where too much time has been waisted, man
Building military bases
Fighting a war with no basis
[Verse 11]
Life is sacred
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
On every baby born naked
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Some of them go like the wrist big
And don't care what they're making
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
They can't take it
[Verse 12]
So speak life, man
All this darkness no feel right, man
[Verse 13]
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
Whoa-oo-whoa-oh
