Learning Growing Changing

[Intro]

We could grow

We could develop

As we know, the heaven is not a place

And happiness lives in the heart

Long as the world keep turning

I do years, we keep on learning

Ya heard?

[Hook]

Keep on learning, and soaking up game

We gon' make mistakes, we gon' go through some things

Keep on growing, keep on soaking up game

If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change

[Verse 1]

Nobody know it all, as soon as you think you do – that’s when you fall

We gotta do more than survive, we must evolve

Things change just when you think you seen it all

We trip, we stumble but we get back and strike

Each day, all the way, one step at a time

Don’t wanna let my ego and pride make me blind

The elders say “when you stop growing – that’s when you die”

The one who gets the knowledge is the one who asked “why?”

Through the course of life, you gon' taste some humble pie

But I love it – it makes me appreciate the things that I take for granted

Gaining insight and understanding

Each one, teach one, we got to pass it on

Keep doing the knowledge, building and had in all

We’re fake that need assumption

That nobody knows everything but everybody knows something

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

The more you know, the more you know – you don’t know

And if you don’t know there’s more you can know then you won’t grow

What you don’t know can hurt you, discipline is a virtue

You gotta ask the right questions

It helps you go into cycles and cyphers and spirals

Information is viral, it infects you

It’s contagious and have you going through stages

Like deny, you don’t believe that, no, we didn’t do that

Then reality set in, there’s no disputing the facts

Yo I’m sorry if I woke you up, but when I open up

It’s like I’m smoking but I’m high off the people, watch me soak it up

Huey said the best education is observation and participation

Study how the people be relating

Different points of views turn bad news to good news

See, it’s kinda like some shoes cause they gotta make you move

Treat it like organic food, make it something you can chew

Information you can use, make it something you can do

[Hook]

[Interlude]

Aye man, it’s okay to say you don’t know

That’s when you let go your ego

You’re free from all illusion, dig?

Can’t make moves in confusion

Don’t look for conflict, man

Always look for the solution

And my pop said “humility is a sign of wisdom”

But to really soak it in, now that’s a different kind of listening

See men sharpen men, and every day is another lesson

And it’s not fair you only learn man, it’s a blessing

And as the Buddha says, “nothing lasts forever”

You gotta manage your expectations

The less we pray, the less we suffer

And this way we awaken

Right understanding

Right thought

Right speech

Right action

Right livelihood

Right effort

Right mindfulness

Right focus

Keep soaking

Soak it up

[Hook]
