‘Da Sermon’ Lyrics
The rocks on the river bed don’t know bout a hot sun
A man with no food don’t care where it comes from
Yo, the minds blind to a door it can’t see
But the contradicting heart knows that it must be
Knowledge that’s applied to the unknown
Is never wasted, it’s recycled til it’s full grown
Failure is the fertilizer to the seed of innovation
It’ll never bear fruit without constant dedication
Now wait… Don’t get jaded or confused
Do what you love to do like you’ve got something to prove
I used to live by the sword like I had nothin to lose
But now I choose to move forward as I walk to the truth
So fall back, closed perspective in a room with a view
Your perceptions gonna change when it’s viewed from the roof
In reflection find the beauty in the scene that is you
The past is only born from that which you continue to do
This life is just a host for the parasites, paradise
Before we share a vice, let’s share advice and maybe share a life
Before we share a vice, let’s share advice and maybe share a life
Before we share a vice, let’s share advice and maybe share a life
What’s a dollar to a dying man?
Everything or nothing, depending on the taking hand
If you afraid to take a stand then you can’t see the bigger plan
The trigger warning is the crosshairs of Uncle Sam
Or maybe we’re all the Sons of Sam…
I can’t imagine getting caught up in the stuggle but don’t give a damn
But trust ya gut and do better, don’t try to plan for the weather
Just try to handle the pressure until it all comes together
It’s that lightning to the thunder
You might not catch both but one is always with the other
Don’t sit around thinkin bout every other wonder
Wait too long then you gon’ be prayin for some cover
Damn right, there’s people out there always lookin for a fight
Pick ya battles, learn the playing field, continue with your life
You can’t see what’s in the shadows when you’re standing in the light
But everything that’s in the shadows got you in their line of sight
This life is just a host for the parasites, paradise
Before we share a vice, let’s share advice and maybe share a life
Before we share a vice, let’s share advice and maybe share a life
Before we share a vice, let’s share advice and maybe share a life
