Lyrics

All my people, trying to get through every day When it's so not equal, you just wanna run away All my people, when you're up you're down And it's far from peaceful, and things can't turn around It's still beautiful Life's still beautiful and that's it The only thing is we don't get to practice Every day's enough We'll struggle on the steepest mountain obstacles That's thrown into our way until I cascade Well every morning when I open up my eyes And smell the fragrance of the flowers, they can't mask it While I'm basking in the daylight Thanking god that I'm alive Even the morning when the pouring rain comes crashing It's still beautiful Like my children in the fire in their soul So familiar to my own, it's so fantastic Like Sunday mornings growing up When my mother tidied up Around the gaff, I do my homework, music blasting Memories everlasting I said I done my homework, I was writing rhymes When the teacher asked on Monday morning I was telling lies Even back then I had my head up in the skies I was lit, trying to burn out all the darkness in my life All my people, trying to get through every day When it's so not equal, you just wanna run away All my people, when you're up you're down And it's far from peaceful, and things can't turn around It's still beautiful In the times of worldwide calamity Epidemics sever and shut off so many salaries Trying to control what you can't, that's insanity You might as well put on some gloves and box gravity The universe flows, the powers they have agendas The sound of my fathers laughter I can remember Fires that burn the brightest will always leave little embers But everybody's journey plays out, return to sender How bout' you save a couple moments Even if the window you're staring through now is broken Even if the door that you're pushing is hard to open Always keep your eye on the target and stay scoping They say the journey is the destination Slow your time, smell the flowers, have a little patience No matter what, all the ups cause you keep facing Look for the beauty and remember that you're dream chasing All my people, trying to get through every day When it's so not equal, you just wanna run away All my people, when you're up you're down And it's far from peaceful, and things can't turn around It's still beautiful
