In the East

Lyrics

[Intro] Uh-huh. Eh. Knowledge. Lawd. Aight let's do it Uh-huh. Eh [Chorus] The light shines on my face I feel good; I admit it I'm thankin' God for the day and all the blessins he's given With not a worry in the world and I don't have a complaint The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west I'm praying for some peace of mind and happiness with no stress I feel like I'm running in circles I'm in need of some rest The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west [Verse 1: K.A.A.N.] Look As I wake up To a new day With a clear mind And my outlook Upon life is like Well it's kinda' hard And I gotta move There's no time to waste But I pray okay my faith so strong There's no way that I'ma let you stop me Circumstances ain't that bright And my situation don't look good But my head high in this destitution And I'ma make it work and stay positive And there's a lot of pain that I put inside of me Most times I wanna criticise My point of view and my life decisions Did what I felt as though was necessary Some judge but they not me I gotta go and get it Bills don't stop And I've been on a mission For a better life But I can't struggle for the rest of it I'm like what's the point that you've elevated And seperate from this poverty Is it possible that I get a piece I need something more than these 4 walls And I'm motivated for the most part But this pain I feel, see it prolongs So I ride around and I doze off But I can't quit, I'm right back at it Up and at it like a fucking addict Understand that it's a process Gotta focus, usin' common sense Stand for something never contradict In the midst I gotta persevere And Imma make it clear that I'm a different breed Somethin' that the people never seen Dedicated but I fell in love With this artform that I can't forget So I sacrifice and don't think about it My current plight might cause doubt And I'm all in I can't fall off But I maintain as I chase a dream Everything ain't always what it seems Know yourself and try to find your soul It's a lonely road that I chose to ride But I stay steady on the incline So in due time when I do find A new state of mind for my sanity But it's safe to say I went the wrong way I don't recognize who I am now I'm in too deep with no one to save me Lord, I got this passion that's inside of me I know if I focus my dream will come to fruition I understand that it's mental I'll speak it into existence Persistence, patience and prayin' Don't practice procrastination Time is never on my side So I work with a sense of urgency Certainly terrified that my efforts could go in vain Can't explain the pressure I'm under I'm hoping that when it ends I attain achieve and succeed in surpassin' your expectations LAWD! Uh huh, yea [Chorus] The light shines on my face I feel good; I admit it I'm thankin' God for the day and all the blessins he's given With not a worry in the world and I don't have a complaint The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west I'm prayin' for some peace of mind and happiness with no stress I feel like I'm running in circles I'm in need of some rest The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west The light shines on my face I feel good; I admit it I'm thankin' God for the day and all the blessins he's given With not a worry in the world and I don't have a complaint The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west I'm prayin' for some peace of mind and happiness with no stress I feel like I'm running in circles I'm in need of some rest The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west Lawd, then it sets in the west, yea
