6 Degrees

Yeah, 6 pages
Amen

[Chorus]
By the time I graduate, I'll have like 6 degrees
I rise and grow soon enough, right now I'm just planting seeds
By the time I graduate, I'll have like 6 degrees
In this life you become the person you learn to be

[Verse 1}
I done seen the voice of reason turn to whispers in the wind
Whistling tunes of destruction in the midst of innocence
False pretenses under primitive premises teach our kids like apprentices
That the world is so menacing and then out goes their innocence, then we
Wonder why the world feel like a Disney movie staring Elsa
Yeah, we've neglected to try into the Felgram
Chips on shoulders be-weighed us so now we focused on hatred
6 pages more like a book on 6 degrees of separation
The ideal that somehow
We all connected in a way
If that's the case, think of the time that you been
Blessed in your day, have you pushed for your brother's betterment?
Neglected pride and selfishness?
Well set aside your mind and let complacency take residence

[Verse 2]
Just be the change you wanna see, (x2)
But who am I to talk cause
Just the other day, me and my
Brother had a talk, but in the midst I walked away
Like I ain't made mistakes before
Like I ain't hung with fakes before
Like I ain't made decisions that did
Held some higher stakes before
Like I ain't fighting with myself and searching for my place
Like I ain't inwardly been hurtin' and then outwardly saving face
They always ask, "Why your message so uplifting?
Why you not following trends and talking cars, money? and
And Why you lack profanity in these profound statements?
Just having talent ain't enough. What makes you think you gon' make it?"
I tell em, this world feel 6 degrees colder as I got older
So my motive to shift perceptions at least 6 degrees over
Increments small enough that they gon' want notice till it's over
Complete 180 achieve and the message is carry over

[Chorus]
By the time I graduate, I'll have like 6 degrees
I rise and grow soon enough, right now I'm just planting seeds
By the time I graduate, I'll have like 6 degrees
In this life you become the person you learn to be

[Plaintro]
If we all lived our lives, loving folks the same
I know, this evil world could change
Is it not worth the hurt for thoughts and pain
Or will it always be this way?

[Chorus]
