Story behind the song
the instrumental by Madlib really got to me, even though it seemed to be meant to be heard alone, i had to spit on it. the words came from the inspiration i got from the beat. *side note* i was preparing a hook for the track until i realized there was no secure spot to put the hook. if i did put the hook, i assumed it would sound odd when i'd do it a second time and it would have different sounds on the beat. so yeah, thats why i jus decided to talk.
Lyrics
[1] A lotta people askin questions, bout how I got this far, I say the road was long and hard, and I got loads and lots of scars, But I always had inspiration, a pen, and I got my heart, Never quit shootin for the top till I got the mark. And when I hit an intersection I would stop to think, Gaze and face the thangs that Earth’s father brings, Flow with the rivers and seas until I start to sink, Then the ocean starts to clear as I start to part the ink, And of course, as it parts BAM, I choose a direction, Listen as the Earth glistens, I move with the message, I was unruly and stressin but now I groove with the methods, Side to side, dancing and prancin’, cuz this music’s a blessin. And did u learn the lesson…that I’ve been teaching? I’m only the mind behind it, the mic’s been preachin, And it drives my feelings, and every one of my emotions, Sky’s the limit, and as I go on, of course the sky gets closer. [2] And I’ve had many ups and downs, on this road, I’d stop and go, just to clutch the crown, with my flow, Mustn’t frown, smile yo, cuz every inch, yard and mile’s gold, And living in hip hop adds to the style so. Keep trekkin, and keep steppin, to wherever u want to, Cuz once u passed the sky, it’s the stars ya drawn to, And whenever you fall dude, jus keep brushin it off you, Until the day your done movin and God’s upon you. And we all pawns too, in this game of livin, And my elevation? kid it all came from spittin, Becuz as every single night and day was shiftin, I’d just be prayin’ sittin, hopin that a saint’ll listen. As the days is, changin, don’t quit trying to make it, Becuz with patience and waitin’ you’ll take it, So I’mma come out the same way as I came in, And that my friends was the story of my elevation.
