Love N Art
These days and times
Need the sun rays to shine
State of mind
Hustle hard, that's the way to grind
Chorus:
In these days and times
We need the sun rays to shine
Positive thoughts in your state of mind
Hustle smart, that's the way to grind
In these days and times
We need the sun rays to shine
They should make hate a crime
But no jail, you just pay a fine
Verse 1:
So I'm up in the morning
Headphones to listen new stuff while I'm jogging
15 minute resting, then it's breakfast
Spark sum'n then it's road to handle business
I hate waiting but I must practice patience
Plotting my future but I'm guided by the ancients
Life is what you make it, some things you can't control (uh huh)
Just work around dat and let your plans unfold
Whatever you do, make sure you have your soul (yeah)
Because peace of mind is a bag of gold
Reputation is all that you have
So live good 'cause it all will come back
Still, times are treacherous, it get the best of us
You might take a gamble and you press your luck
But maintain focus, stay on the right path (yeah)
Things going to work out as the time pass (trust me)
Chorus
Verse 2:
Ayo, it's hard in the system (rough)
Worse is yard that we living (JA)
Thanks to the Lord that we giving (Give thanks)
Bless up to my dawgs wit the children
The future is all that we building
Ayo, we trying to ball, yo, we winning (Yo we winning)
That's why we get calls from your women
Making money from thoughts that I'm spitting
Music for your soul, offering wisdom
Made my name through my artistic vision
Simply following my strong intuition
Known for spitting deadly darts to the rhythm (Uh)
You'll know from my catalog if you listen (Listen up)
I'm on a run like I'm dodging the prison (Uh huh)
Got fans from Gaza to Britain (Worldwide)
Spread knowledge, that's the cause of the mission
Chorus
Verse 3:
Peace to Syria and Nigeria (Peace)
God bless the Presidents and Prime Ministers (God bless)
Every country, its citizens, its visitors
Even our enemies, we all trying to live it up (Live it up)
I try to see humanity
The world is diverse, we all need equality
Food, clothes, shelter, a new home is special
Some are refugees, some plain homeless
Some fostered in homes that are broken
In this game of life, love is the token (Love)
Love is why the right queen gets chosen
Why a young prince is molded to take the throne and
Be like his father was but the system distorted us
You can call it lust, now, we all corrupt
Caught up in our selves, with our greedy ways
And I say we, 'cause even me, I need to change (Uh huh)
Chorus
In these days and times
In these days and times
I said, in these days and times
Living in these days and times
