In the East

[Intro]
Uh-huh. Eh. Knowledge. Lawd. Aight let's do it
Uh-huh. Eh

[Chorus]
The light shines on my face I feel good; I admit it
I'm thankin' God for the day and all the blessins he's given
With not a worry in the world and I don't have a complaint
The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west
I'm praying for some peace of mind and happiness with no stress
I feel like I'm running in circles I'm in need of some rest
The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west

[Verse 1: K.A.A.N.]
Look
As I wake up
To a new day
With a clear mind
And my outlook
Upon life is like
Well it's kinda' hard
And I gotta move
There's no time to waste
But I pray okay my faith so strong
There's no way that I'ma let you stop me
Circumstances ain't that bright
And my situation don't look good
But my head high in this destitution
And I'ma make it work and stay positive
And there's a lot of pain that I put inside of me
Most times I wanna criticise
My point of view and my life decisions
Did what I felt as though was necessary
Some judge but they not me
I gotta go and get it
Bills don't stop
And I've been on a mission
For a better life
But I can't struggle for the rest of it
I'm like what's the point that you've elevated
And seperate from this poverty
Is it possible that I get a piece
I need something more than these 4 walls
And I'm motivated for the most part
But this pain I feel, see it prolongs
So I ride around and I doze off
But I can't quit, I'm right back at it
Up and at it like a fucking addict
Understand that it's a process
Gotta focus, usin' common sense
Stand for something never contradict
In the midst I gotta persevere
And Imma make it clear that I'm a different breed
Somethin' that the people never seen
Dedicated but I fell in love
With this artform that I can't forget
So I sacrifice and don't think about it
My current plight might cause doubt
And I'm all in I can't fall off
But I maintain as I chase a dream
Everything ain't always what it seems
Know yourself and try to find your soul
It's a lonely road that I chose to ride
But I stay steady on the incline
So in due time when I do find
A new state of mind for my sanity
But it's safe to say I went the wrong way
I don't recognize who I am now
I'm in too deep with no one to save me
Lord, I got this passion that's inside of me
I know if I focus my dream will come to fruition
I understand that it's mental
I'll speak it into existence
Persistence, patience and prayin'
Don't practice procrastination
Time is never on my side
So I work with a sense of urgency
Certainly terrified that my efforts could go in vain
Can't explain the pressure I'm under
I'm hoping that when it ends I attain achieve and succeed in surpassin' your expectations

LAWD! Uh huh, yea

[Chorus]
The light shines on my face I feel good; I admit it
I'm thankin' God for the day and all the blessins he's given
With not a worry in the world and I don't have a complaint
The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west
I'm prayin' for some peace of mind and happiness with no stress
I feel like I'm running in circles I'm in need of some rest
The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west

The light shines on my face I feel good; I admit it
I'm thankin' God for the day and all the blessins he's given
With not a worry in the world and I don't have a complaint
The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west
I'm prayin' for some peace of mind and happiness with no stress
I feel like I'm running in circles I'm in need of some rest
The sun rise in the east and then it sets in the west
Lawd, then it sets in the west, yea
