[Sample]
One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I’ll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they'll know
[Verse 1]
A bunch of RAW rolled papers
I smoke a blunt before I write out my thoughts
Trapped in my hip-hop basement
(Which don't exist, so please spin the disk and)
Make records of ’em all
I made a whole new language
(In high hopes they could feel just what I'm sayin' yeah)
In the makin' of the odds
They're like a million paintings
(Instead of colors, they singin' softly)
One message to the lost
(One message to the lost)
(One message to the lost)
[Sample]
One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they’ll know
[Chorus]
There’s a light in my soul
I just can't shake it
Too close to the hole that’s in my cell
I felt so alone with all these paintings
Tryna paint on my soul, but nothing was there
I wrote it in bold, [?] blue letters
To make in both the sky and waves
I [?] alone, my dark blue struggles
I founded and [?]
[Verse 2]
Lost in the world in the middle of my life
Taken by these things in the middle of the night
Dreamin' of place closer to my peace
Jade green stones over jalamala beads
How I let you slip away with these ninety-nine knots
One of these days I'ma make it to the top
Findin myself' feelin empty [?]
Shootin’ shootin' for the moon with my very last shot
Thinkin one of these days
[Sample]
One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they'll know

Now, I'm just a guy with an undergrad degree
And a habit of refusing not to let go 'til I get what I want
I wanna share with you some of the few lesson I've learned
Along my journey of leadership
And here's the first: As you leave here
Maintain a healthy healthy disrespect for the status quo
At thunderbird you've been taught to ask questions
And wonder why and look for a better way
Keep digging for that better way to do something
Because there's always a better way
Always
