In the East - K.A.A.N.

Uh-huh.

Eh.

Knowledge.

Lawd.

Aight let’s do it

Uh-huh.

Eh

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

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

Deal with the as 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

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
