Dilated Peoples - Show Me The Way (Feat. Aloe Blacc)

The harder the work well
the longer the day
Easy may come
but it sure don't stay
Tryin' to cope boy
I hope and I pray
Show me the way
The harder the work well
the longer the day
Easy may come
but it sure don't stay
Tryin' to cope boy
I hope and I pray
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
I say hello to my people
hello to the day
I watch the world on wheels
Hit the yellow and grey
The ones don't work are
the ones who don't eat
And once again
I'm from that city
where that sun don't sleep
It's time to get live
because the terms is breeched
Ride the wave like
the world is a beach
Learn more I teach
I was raised
by NWA and stayed CA
All day same story
different briefcase
I'm nonchalant
to others pedaling weight
I got a purpose to serving up
and settle my state
Been through it all of it great
Put the ruler to the movement
all of it's straight
Big fish even calling ‘em bait
One love one dish see ‘em
all on my plate
I take the lady on a vacay
she call it a date
Now she calling in sick now
she calling in late
The harder the work
well the longer the day
Easy may come
but it sure don't stay
Tryin' to cope boy
I hope and I pray
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
I've been through some pitfalls
that knocked me down
Made it through close calls
and lost some ground
It's a hell of a price I pay
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
The moon tagged the sun in
Love to be alive feet
hit the ground running
Butterflies in my stomach
Like the matrix tryin' to get it
Tryin' to learn a lot from it
On a planet in regression
in a loft at the summit
Air is much clearer catch me
on the high road
Some fight to live others
settle for survival
It's your world you can write
the line you live your life on
It's heavy but you're strong
ust hold on until that light dawns
It's started now pardon me
we're partying
Escalating redefining
the state of the art again
Celebrated elevators open up
to secret floors
Different rules and secret laws
from the roof you'll see the stars
Only fear boredom in a world
of raw materials
Excite by potential inspired
by adventure
Calculated circles
the circumference and the radius
The only guest to float without
a float through the parade is us
The harder the work
well the longer the day
Easy may come
but it sure don't stay
Tryin' to cope boy
I hope and I pray
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
I've been through some pitfalls
that knocked me down
Made it through close calls
and lost some ground
It's a hell of a price I pay
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
It's routine by the beach I rise
First up I hit the weed
then I bleach my eyes
Then it's to the drum machine
to speak my mind
Tracks like fitted hats
pick a beat my size
Energized on the darkest
streets I shine
Saw the light up on the mountain
to the peak I climb
Breathtaking new perspectives
on the life I grind
First tear of joy fell looking like
I'm crying
For just a moment
The feeling of being content
not needing a dollar or a cent
Smile for my mama ‘cause she proud
The studio my headphones' loud
Bridge builders will connect
these crowds
Dedicated on my honor
you can check these vows
That's purpose power
to make the powerful nervous
Hard work ain't easy
but easy usually ain't worth it
They say
The harder the work
well the longer the day
Easy may come
but it sure don't stay
Tryin' to cope boy
I hope and I pray
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
I've been through some pitfalls
that knocked me down
Made it through close calls
and lost some ground
It's a hell of a price I pay
Somebody show me the way
Somebody show me the way
