Dela, Supastition, Brotha Soul - The Pursuit lyrics
[Dela, Supastition, Brotha Soul - The Pursuit lyrics]
Now there will be a day
When my career is flatlined
The lights will go dim the curtains
Will close one last time
I’d love to be remembered as
One of the greatest artists
And also be remembered as a husband
And a father who put
Food on the table not a fist full of dollars
But enough dough that I could
Put my kids through college
Have a nice home, living chill in the burbs
Give a diamond to my wife the
One I feel she deserves
And I probably still feel the
Urge to scribble my words
It’ll be for recreation
No longer considered work
And I’ll probably have my feelings hurt
Watching all the new cats
Like "Man, I used to do that"
Wishing I had my groove back
But yes I'm still thankful for
The love and opportunity
I had no idea how much that
Hip-Hop could do for me
And when it’s all said and done
I still have my friends and family
Around to me that’s everyone
(I want) Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth
Wisdom, Patience, that’s the pursuit y’all
Life, Love, Happiness, Truth
Family, friends y’all that’s the Pursuit
(c'mon) love, Peace, Happiness, Truth
Wisdom, Patience, that’s the pursuit (c'mon)
Life, Love, Happiness, Truth
Family, friends y’all that’s the pursuit
On the real
Part of me was about a little shine
Been at this thing for ten and
Ten and truthfully I wanted mine
But after putting out my best trying
To impress them with my paramount
I saw that this ain’t really
What this music is about
I realize that what is mine ain’t
Even mine because the tours and
The syllables and songs are really
Done for you and yours
In hopes that something from my years will
Help to open up some doors
To show that life is not a labor
- breathing shouldn’t be a chore
There’s so much more to see and
Be within this fraction of eternity
The man in me is focused
On your personal maternity
Like, What are you birthin’ in
Your dreams and aspirations
For your neighborhood, community
And cats in other nations
Cuz they’re waiting on your offering
Whatever that may be
And what is yours becomes the source of
Things that may be feeding me
And then my crew and then my girl
Even my kid that isn’t born
Cuz living life and giving life is
How we keep it moving on
(With that) Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth
Wisdom, Patience, that’s the pursuit y’all
Life, Love, Happiness, Truth
Family, friends y’all that’s the pursuit
Love, Peace, Happiness, Truth
Wisdom, Patience, that’s the pursuit
Life, Love, Happiness, Truth
Family, friends y’all that’s the pursuit
When my career is flatlined
The lights will go dim the curtains
Will close one last time
I’d love to be remembered as

And also be remembered as a husband
