Akira The Don - The Souls of Others lyrics

Concentrate every minute like a Roman
Like a man on doing what’s in front of
You with precise and genuine seriousness
Tenderly willingly
With justice

And on freeing yourself from
All other distractions yes, you can
If you do everything as if it
Were the last thing you were doing
In your life and stop being aimless
Stop letting your emotions override
What your mind knows stop being hypocritical
Self-centered irritable
You see how few things you have to do
To live a satisfying and reverent life?
If you can manage this
That’s all even the gods can ask of you

Yeah, keep on degrading yourself soul
Soon your chance at dignity it will be gone
Everybody gets one life
Yours is almost all used up now
And instead of treating yourself
With respect you have entrusted
Your own happiness unto the souls of others
Unto the souls of others

Do external things distract you?
Then make time to learn something worthwhile
Stop letting yourself be pulled
In all directions
But make sure you guard against
The other kind of confusion
People who labor all their lives but
Have no purpose to direct
Every thought and impulse toward are
Wasting all their time
Even when hard at work
Even when hard at work

Ignoring what goes on in other people’s souls
No one ever came to grief that way
But if you won’t keep track of
What your own soul’s doing
How can you not be unhappy?

Don’t ever forget these things
The nature of the world my nature
How I relate unto the world
What proportion of it I make up
That you are part of nature
And no one can prevent you from speaking
And acting in harmony with it always

Yeah, keep on degrading yourself soul
Soon your chance at dignity it will be gone
Everybody gets one life
Yours is almost all used up now
And instead of treating yourself
With respect you have entrusted
Your own happiness unto the souls of others
Unto the souls of others
