Story Behind The Song

I was searching for new communities like myspace when I cam across www.virb.com. I had not ventured out as a soloist yet so I set up an account for Embassi. I added the regular stuff pics, songs, bio info, the EPK, all that good stuff. I started se

Lyrics

Intro
On this road it seems so long / Keep my faith it makes me strong
Day by Day I sing my song / All things change as life goes on

Verse
I?m a lil bit Left Behind Series / mixed with a lil Conversations With God/
Can?t hear voice of the Divine clearly / but lately haven?t been listening to hard/
Spend my days like a slave at my lame job / fill my nights writing rhymes to the stars/
No complaints, just playing with the cards life dealt / no regrets for what its worth I?m proud of myself/
My greatest wealth in this world is family / and good health, staying conscious of my bodies needs/
Many agree that?s all I need, yet I want much more / now is that greed or something worth working towards?/
Been thru hell like Virgil and Dante / but escaped before Lucifer saw me/
We?re all on our very on quest in life / been working real hard to make the most of mine/
There are times when the fog really hides the road / that?s when you find your true reasons to achieve your goals /

Chorus(J.Mayes)
All things being equal / maybe in a perfect world /
trying to move with a rhythmical spirit thru this existance /
Its hard being different and gifted with great ambitions /
So I strive to be disciplined and live by my words /
But, um, well, its not always that easy /
Im giving it my best believe me /
When life is overdosed with stress I take a deep breathe take each day step by step / I say when life is overdosed with stress I take a deep breathe take each day step by step /

Verse2
Look I?m not quite the type to tip toe thru life /
Hate to pretend just to fit in / but that?s the politics on the music business end /
Head this advice / great words from the wise / Cultivate ya patience for your own peace of mind /
We all wanna make it, but look it takes time / its hard to be successful in the wrong frame of mind /
A lot of cats hearing this / calling it gibberish / say what you want son I speak from experience /
You ride the pine over on the sideline / yea I?m 2nd string but right now I?m in the game /
Focused on my goals like the Hubble telescope / about to take one for the team /
If that?s what need be / just to see the / man - if - est -ation of this dream /
Travel overseas and spread some positivity / do something real to help my soul feel complete and at ease

Bridge
This life that we living (3X)
Im giving all I can Give it
This life that Im living (3X)
I'm giving all that I've got
It may be a long shot but like it or not
This life that I'm living I'm giving all that Ive got

Verse3
Rhap-so-dy
Always good intentions behind my decisions but / it seems that I keep on slipping up /
Cant do enough sometimes do to much / its like my life took a left trying to make things right /
So when I cry my tears take many forms / maybe they?re a poem maybe they?re a rap song /
I put my life in these lines of rhyme / its therapeutic if I didn?t do, probably be in the streets with heat shooting /
Or maybe just a memory for my family / gotta keep it real / cant hide behind a wall of lies /
True I fantasize of having riches / but I?m still rolling in a red Honda civic
And still living paycheck to paycheck / and I'm still in a one room apartment like Chico Debarge / Yo its
No guarantees I don?t know Mattress Mac / Sallie Mae loaned me money now she wants the cash back /
With interest / she cant get it till I get it / and that?s all it is to it /
The everyday struggles I?m just trying to get thru em / without this music I probably couldn?t do it /
Without this music my world would be in ruins
