Overstand (Explicit) - Dead Prez
Are we addicted to the struggle or committed to success
Are we focused on the positive or holdin' onto stress
Not sayin' thing's perfect but in many ways I'm blessed
Learnin' how to take the negative and flip for the best
Everyday bring challenge every challenge is a chance to advance
The power is right in our own hands
From a youth full of rage to a wise grown man
Here I am life is beautiful now I overstand
I'm lookin' forward through my rear view mirror in hindsight
Gotta be more than just a G
If you keepin' your mind right
Better be ready for the battle or focused on my fight
I ain't sittin' on no sidelines watchin' them highlights
I'ma be in the game playin' to win but learnin' from setbacks
Strengthen my weaknesses and masterin' what I'm best at
Power of refinement
Until you get right and exact
It's all in your mind
But that depends on where your head's at
Where your head's at
Life is a chess match and lessons come from your mistakes
Try not to end up in checkmate no matter whatever it takes
Long as you're breathin'
Then you can be problem solvin'
Stayin' involved evolved world keeps revolvin'
For the 'cause be all you can
From the mornin' to the sunset
You never have no regrets
Took the journey to the edge of your fate and then lept
Not just understandin' but overstandin' is the objective
Keep it open in perspective
Just let me be what I am
Take my destiny in my hands
By my actions you can judge where I stand
And I hope one day you'll overstand
Change come from the inside out
No fear live free let the truth ride out
I'm steady shakin' off the shackles of the old me
Wakin' up daily meditation feelin' so free
They hate to see you change yeah
But they don't understand no
Unless you see for yourself then you won't comprehend
The caterpillar don't care what you think about him
He was born to be fly his nature
Gonna bring it outta him
By the struggle I was never broken I was broken open
I tapped into a source that was omnipotent
Had to shift my focus to my higher purpose
Ain't nothing weak about broke it takes a fighter's courage
People say they want a revolution
But steady holdin' on the slave ideas afraid of evolution
In life we live and learn it's practice theory practice
Wisdom is organically grown it's not pre packaged
It's forward baby never backwards
Just let me be what I am
Take my destiny in my hands
By my actions you can judge where I stand
And I hope one day you'll overstand
We think we found the absolute truth
But only to discover
It's a labyrinth
We go from one maze into another
So many chambers and angles peelin' the onion layers
Within it all I see the same gang just different players
So I rebel from the prison cell of the pigeon hole
And dare to be myself original
A man lives on principles
I don't posture to be popular
Born to be a leader not just a blind follower
It's family before the dollar your priorities in order
And like Bruce Lee say
Be the water be the earth be the wind and the fire
Elevate take it higher
It's instinct fulfill your needs and your desires
But we go to be compassionate considerate the people's advocate
Eradicatin' ignorance through experience
The more you live the more you learn and you grow
It has a positive effect on all the people you know
It's motivation
Just let me be what I am
Take my destiny in my hands
By my actions you can judge where I stand
And I hope one day you'll overstand
Are we addicted to the struggle
Or committed to success
Are we focused on the positive or holdin' onto stress
Not sayin' thing's perfect
But in many ways I'm blessed
Learnin' how to take the negative and flip for the best
Everyday bring challenge
Every challenge is a chance to advance
The power is right in our own hands
From a youth full of rage to a wise grown man
Here I am life is beautiful now I overstand
Stand
And I hope one day that you will overstand
Look at things without any opinion
Otherwise you'll never look at reality
Look at things without
Any philosophy without
Any prejudice without
Any dogma creed or scripture
Just look without arrogance
And see the 'cause of ignorance and overstand
Change is necessary to evolution
The universe contains incredible diversity
And you cannot experience
It all within the confines
Of one comfortable lifestyle
Look ahead to what
You will think of your life at it's end
You will probably not want
To look back and say it was cozy and dull
Thus react positively to what seems
To be disaster
Remember that what seems now
To be disaster may be an important
Step toward evolution
And may even be identifiable as
Such at some point in the future
Every great loss takes you out
Of a rut and starts life anew
Be grateful for the time
You had and your former happy state
And look forward eagerly to the new phase
