The Difference

I wake up
Give thanks for the breath in my lungs
Get prepared for the day and all the lessons to come
I know its stressful for some but your day's what you make it,
You choose to remain free or stay in the matrix
For me, it's not about the things I accumulate
More what i communicate to the human race
Treat my wife with respect you know,
Tell my son you better eat your vegetables
And listen to the wisdom of the elders and the old timers,
They drop gems of knowledge like coal miners
I'm a diamond in the rough
Wise words cut glass
28 so my life's a rough track
Yo I play a little chess to relieve a little stress
the game helps me think about what move to make next
Before my life is over man
I'm tryin to understand
Take a walk through the park, keep up
I know you canI live my life like a walk in the park
I take it as it comes change thoughts into heart
Shine light, so many lost in the dark
And they wonder why the world starts fallin apart (x2)So much beauty in this life that we livin',
take it all in, the best advice i can give ya
So much to learn with such little time
Find your passion,
For me? it's craftin' a rhyme
But just, kickin' back, relax and recline
With my fam watch a ballgame passin' the time
You can make a lot of money at your place of employment
But at that pace you'll have no time to enjoy it
Your wife will be lonely,
Your son will say he miss you
Stackin' all them chips but you can take em' with you
So what's the point man
I guess I'm not understandin' it
Chasin' after wealth but love is magnanimous
Spend days with your sons and daughters
Your time is worth more them quarters and dollars
Invest in their future, it's better than stock
This life will fade away but forever will not
We gotta get it right, before we're older man
Take a walk through the park keep up, I know you canI live my life like a walk in the park
I take it as it comes change thoughts into heart
Shine light, so many lost in the dark
And they wonder why the world starts fallin apart (x4)
