The Book of Life

[Verse 1: Murs]
I practice the optimistic arts
Exact opposite of cops with a twisted heart
I ask questions and I shoot last
Most of y'all stressin' and react too fast
I find it's always better to respond
Wait till you get that message from beyond
My intuition, it moves the mission
You can tell by how I move I ain't new to this division
What exists now hasn't always existed
It took passion, purpose, and persistence
A steady stream will erode rocks
I stay focused: I ain't lookin' at no clocks
Mountaintops will soon become canyons
With just a little luck, hard work, and some plannin'
Self-pity is a bad drug
That's why I wake up every day and spread mad love

[Chorus: Justin Cohen]
Biggеr pictures for bigger reasons
Keep us goin' and keep bеlievin'
There ain't nothin' we won't do for the right things
We fight to keep things the way we used to
And suffer this ain't what we can do
To get to this we always kept pushin' on through

[Verse 2: R.A. The Rugged Man]
Yo, use your lips to puff spliffs, bullets fit into gun clips
Usin' your gift to uplift the true and livin' sun scripts
The algorithm prison daily digitally disconnect
I've been a bigger threat, been in effect before the Internet
You disrespect my intellect, bitch, you ain't get the picture yet?
Did you forget the king a vet? The Architect Imhotep
Twelfth bell, Hell seduction, self-help health deduction
Hell felt self-destruction, self smell wealth corruption
Cause and effect cycle, evil act lead to karma
Dress code: plate ceramic, Kevlar body armor
Fuck a oligarchy military two-party partner
Kid 'n Play House Party the only party I'm a part of
Why you follow blind hype? The mannequin is lifelike
See it's the knowledge, wisdom bein' born
The insight and eyesight
When I strike, I never ran; I'd rather die a man
Clean out the poison from your pineal gland
And let the mind expand (Go!)

[Chorus: Justin Cohen]
Bigger pictures for bigger reasons
Keep us goin' and keep believin'
There ain't nothin' we won't do for the right things
We fight to keep things the way we used to
And suffer this ain't what we can do
To get to this we always kept pushin' on through
