Learning Growing Changing

Lyrics

We could grow
 We could develop
 As we know, the heaven is not a place
 And happiness lives in the heart
 Long as the world keep turning
 I do years, we keep on learning
 Ya heard?
 Keep on learning
 And soaking up game
 We gon make mistakes
 We gon go through some things
 Keep on growing
 Keep on soaking up game
 If something ain't working, don't be afraid to change
 Nobody know it all, as soon as you think you do – that's when you fall
 We gotta do more than survive, we must evolve
 Things change just when you thought you seen it all
 We trip, we stumble but we get back and strike
 Each day, all the way, one step at a time
 Don't wanna make my ego and pride make me blind
 The elders say "when you stop growing – that's when you die"
 The one who gets the knowledge is the one who asked "why?"
 Through the course of life, you gon taste some humble pie
 But I love it – it makes me appreciate the things that I take for granted
 Gaining insight and understanding
 Each one, teach one, we got to pass it on
 Keep doing the knowledge, building and had in all
 We're fake that need assumption
 That nobody knows everything but everybody knows something
 Keep on learning
 And soaking up game
 We gon make mistakes
 We gon go through some things
 Keep on growing
 Keep on soaking up game
 If something ain't working, don't be afraid to change
 Yo yo, the more you know, the more you know
 you don't know
 And if you don't know there's more you
 can know then you won't grow
 What you don't know can hurt you,
 discipline is a virtue
 You gotta ask the right questions,
 it helps you go into cycles and cyphers and spirals
 Information is viral, it infects you,
 it's contagious and have you going through stages
 Like deny, you don't believe that
 No, we didn't do that
 Then reality set in, there's no disputin' the facts
 Yo I'm sorry if I woke you up, but when I open up
 It's like I'm smoking but I'm high off the people,
 watch me soak it up
 Huey said the best education is observation and participation
 Study hard, the people be relatin'
 Different points of views turn bad news to good news
 See, it's kinda like some shoes cuz they gotta make you move
 Treat it like organic food,
 make it something you can chew
 Information you can use,
 make it something you can do
 Keep on learning
 And soaking up game
 We gon make mistakes
 We gon go through some things
 Keep on growing
 Keep on soaking up game
 If something ain't working,
 don't be afraid to change
 Aye man, it's okay to say you don't know
 That's when you let go your ego
 You're free from all illusion, dig?
 Can't make moves in confusion
 Don't look for conflict, man
 Always look for the solution
 And my pop said "humility is a sign of wisdom"
 But to really soak it in,
 now that's a different kind of listening
 See man sharpen man
 And every day is another lesson
 And it's not fair you only learn man
 It's a blessing
 And as the Buddha says, "nothing lasts forever"
 You gotta manage your expectations
 The less we crave, the less we suffer
 And this way we awaken
 Right understanding
 Right thought
 Right speech
 Right action
 Right livelihood
 Right effort
 Right mindfulness
 Right focus
 Keep soaking
 Soak it up
 Keep on learning
 And soaking up game
 We gon make mistakes
 We gon go through some things
 Keep on growing
 Keep on soaking up game
 If something ain't working,
 don't be afraid to change
