lyrics

Hopped out of bed with a smile on my face, ready for the race
Some things you've gotta give chase
And the way that the sun's rays peaking through my shades
Let's me know that this is gonna be one of those days
Gotta get up & go, I got seeds to sow
But they need the right soil so their roots can grow
Once you find a home, next step is the flow
I know mama told you 'bout that H2O
But not every rotation's gonna feel this gracious
Dig deep, push back, fight for your spaces
I've been in the desert praying for friendly faces
While somewhere in the city she's wishing we'd trade places
Gotta tie up your laces
Seek truth, find peace, drink from the oasis
Learn how to move through the ages
The journey is the same, we all got our own paces
I've got a skip in my step, I can chill for a minute then I got to jet
I'll tell you this, I'm glad we met
You've given me some moments that I'll never forget

I think I'll be OK
It's looking like a beautiful day
I'll be OK
It's looking like a beautiful day

It's looking like a beautiful day, I think I told ya
Anything that gets in my way, I'm jumping over
Everything that that you've got to say is better sober
Black & white will turn into gray as you get closer
These are just some things that you learn as you grow older
World seems to go one way, people get colder
So I stay moving, a step ahead of the polar
Nose to the ground, bag of dreams on my shoulder
Drink water, not soda
Clean thoughts, clear mind, maintain composure
I just want to know who told ya
Anything different; I think that they're tryna mold ya
Wake up & smell the aroma
And then get to it, cause fortune favors the bolder
No more living in a coma
Sitting 'round, waiting for some non-existent closure
I'm focused on supernova
The song stays the same refrain until the coda
I guess I'm just another rover
Passing palisades, parishes, and pagodas

I think I'll be OK...

about

Uncle Sam MC

I'm releasing new music the first Thursday of every month. Then I'm going back to the studio that night to record the next one.

It's been an incredible journey so far... Who knows where we'll go next?
