Dead Prez - Way Of Life Lyrics
*guitar plays and birds in the background*(Verse 1)What you know about the running, the stretchingThe cars, the weaponsThe path, the journeyThe jewels, the learningThe fear, the focusThe aches, the painsThe contact sparrin', the breaks, the sprainsThe trial and error, the ranks, and beltsThe spiritual growth, the science of breathThe tests, the techniquesThe forms, the stancesThe flow, the rhythm, the internal answersThe herbs, the healing, the quiet meditationThe truths reveal through daily dedicationThe love for the art, the sweat on your shirtThe mind, the body, and the spirit that workThe feelings of failure, the hope to succeedThe battles of questions like "Should I smoke weed?"(Verse 2)The water, the thirstThe cleansing, the blessingsThe flash of insights, the teachings, the lessonsThe grappling and locking, trapping and boxingThe training and slackingThe starting and stoppingAnd stayin' committed, when your homies ain't with itThe hours or practice after the class is finishedThe cause of your ignorance, flaws in your disciplineBroken laws of nutrition, and pork and dishin'The vitamins and supplementsSalads and ointmentsThe kingships, pull joints in doctor appointmentsThe dues, the pads, the wraps, the glovesThe mouthpiece you left home, the taste of your own bloodThe hunger, the blocksThe punches, the squatsThe crunches, the example you set for the youngstersThe will, the skills, the kill or the hillThe separation between what's fake and what's realThe laws of physics, The class "comradery"The vows of humility, the bow, the courtesy.*guitar plays*(Sample)
