Alijah Tha Great - In This Life

I've traveled distant lands
Crossed oceans formed from greater hands
To learn the grandest plans takes pieces the size of grains of sand
To come together, though never perfect
Just long nuff to stave off stormy weathers
In hopes one day we will meet something better
Cause life can be a chapter book comprised of open letters
Unknown authors and distant fathers
Fill pages up regardless
To say I came a long way means to me to keep going farther
Believed in myself so much won't leave the dreams at the alter
I know I gotta keep pushing through
Through all water and land separating me and you
Just keep in mind that we will make it soon
I put my trust in your power so I will never lose
In this life
I believe my dreams are coming true
In this life
I know we one day will make it through
So many restless nights I sunk my soul into my passion
Never once linking with my goals we'd only meet in passing
Some might just say I succeeded depends on who you asking
But they ain't ever walk the miles I ran they Ventra passed it
My life's nothing like I imagined
Couldn't predict what would happen
Between the moment pops first dipped and made me feel abandoned
But judging from the way it panned out you'd a thought I planned it
So let give you these lessons
Give to you your advantage
This for the kids with no prominent father figures with em
Feeling like the world would be better if we'd forget em
Don't let the absentee lead you to a catastrophe
Actually pile up the pain that you gained
And make it a masterpiece
The world's your oaster
you're poised to persevere through the process
And pain's the distant relative of what we know as progress
Let up they'll pick your pockets
Love life like there's no options
Call them plays in the field cause you in control of the offense
I know I gotta keep pushing through
Through all water and land separating me and you
Just keep in mind that we will make it soon
I put my trust in your power so I will never lose
In this life
I believe my dreams are coming true
In this life
I know we one day will make it through
Heard from my grandfather
Said that I'll guide you
And that you will make it
And one day you'll prosper (This what I told him)
So please tell Ms. Robinson (Please let her know)
And good ole Reverend Martin (Before I go)
And tell Auntie Yoki that I hope to make you proud
Thank you for always believing and giving me this platform
Know I've been blessed with the best of angels
I never asked for
They always saw the true greatness so I adapted that form
If I can't thank them in person then imma spit this rap for em
I put my spirit in these lyrics when I write alone that might belong
Within your mind in hopes you find the light to home
If you never see I gained it all then gave my all
You can't involve what's yours with mine
When times I've shined past lines to make my own, so
The hell is failure? I don't fear it
Seen every barrier then I cleared it
With this era comes my purest
Spirits reach to those who hear this
Steer this dream to where the cure is
Ever present in the children
That the art of Perseverance
Takes the start with more coherence
So tell my sister the ceiling was always meant for breaking
And tell my lover everything we want is for the taking
And Dear Mama I promise there'll be an end to aching
Ya boys the greatest best believe Ima make it
In This Life
