Love To Go Round

I always hoped when I was older I'd be stronger and wiser Livin' in a mansion enjoyin' my retirement But life doesn't give us what we want the most It gives us more of what we are and that's the way that it goes so As I travel further down this road that I chose I think about the life I've led all the highs and the lows The setbacks and the mishaps the trials an' tribulations The moments that were dope plus the juvenile frustrations The times when I was present an' the states of elation Like the birth of my first child an' practicing meditation They say it's two steps forward an' one step back An' when I weigh it all up I'd say that I agree wit' that analogy At times my life felt like a Greek tragedy Where I'm the protagonist in a state of pain an' agony But other times when I was chillin' the most I felt the inner harmony that comes wit' goin' wit' the flow It can be a lot to process lookin' for the meanin Tryin' o' gain as much knowledge as I can while I'm still breathin See I'm on a learning journey just like ev'rybody else Doin' my best to understand the lessons that this life has dealt me Seeking union wit' the divine spirit in ev'rything As I watch my kids grow up an' I try to explain The meaning to 'em in a way that they can grasp ain't always easy Coz I still don't know it all an' there's things that they can teach me The world keeps spinnin' round an' round As my dreams they all hit the ground Tell me where can my soul be found If there's one thing I know it's that there's plenty of love to go round The world keeps spinnin' round an' round As my dreams they all hit the ground Tell me where can my soul be found If there's one thing I know it's that there's plenty of love to go round People often tell me I'm intelligent but it's irrelevant Coz I only just make enough money to pay my rent I never stuck it out at university was just too much for me An' so I settled for a life of mediocrity Workin a job Where someone is the boss o' me instead o' me An' I watch the clock tickin' as I waste my time in drudgery Wit' people judgin' me when I could be pursuin' greatness My mother always had higher designs in mind for me Said sky's the limit son don't you ever quit until ya reach it An' in my younger days I'd go ahead an' let her preach it Until I myself slip fell in lockstep wit' the other automatons Just waitin' on that paycheck at the end o' the month Relentless grind o' the machine keep us in line Penalties for not bein' on time our servitude defines us Blinds us to who we really are A spirit being in a human vessel made o' stardust Still we acquiesce to a system that sees us As statistics on a spreadsheet demeans an' depletes us An' we pray to Jesus to save our souls But can he really retrieve us when we diggin' our own holes I don't know but I like to think that we can do better Than acquiescing to a system that gone work us to death An' while I still draw breath I'm tryin' o' wake myself up Snap outta this dumb mentality that got me in a rut what The world keeps spinnin' round an' round As my dreams they all hit the ground Tell me where can my soul be found If there's one thing I know it's that there's plenty of love to go round The world keeps spinnin' round an' round As my dreams they all hit the ground Tell me where can my soul be found If there's one thing I know it's that there's plenty of love to go round An' it ain't all roses Livin' in the struggle while the rich turn up they noses Coz o' the station that I chose in life Makes me wonder what I gotta do to raise my profile Unless you born into wealth then you're forever hustlin Got me buyin' lotto scratchers but keep comin' up wit' nothin Guess I gotta earn it the old fashioned way Breakin' rocks all day for my hard earned pay Man there's gotta be a way out o' this rat race I wanna level up an' then live out the rest o' my days Straight chillin' on a yacht in the Caribbean islands Smokin' blunts in the sunshine straight wildin Maybe it's just a pipe dream y'kna mean But I gotta aim higher else I'm drownin' in the mainstream Stuck in a rut tryin' make some enz Talkin' 'bout my woes to my friends But there's only so much that you can vent before you gotta take Responsibility for the cards you been dealt for heavens sake Doin' ev'rything in my ability to make some changes for myself fore they put me back on the shelf I see the finish line in sight hope I reach my goals Before this marathon is run an' my body turn cold Pass over to the other side an' finally rest This life is stress but I'm blessed an' I ain't done yet The world keeps spinnin' round an' round As my dreams they all hit the ground Tell me where can my soul be found If there's one thing I know it's that there's plenty of love to go round The world keeps spinnin' round an' round As my dreams they all hit the ground Tell me where can my soul be found If there's one thing I know it's that there's plenty of love to go round
