I dedicate this to everyone who went and made this / number one on their playlist / A-List made, VITAL Emcee's the secret / and he's spanning the gamut from class to beatnik / cuz metaphorically, I bring the sorcery to your spot until you're roaring, drunk, and disorderly / put your hands up, hold 'em for ransom / and scream like I'm flashing a massive handgun / yo / cuz now I'm feeling like I've needed to / so baby either or / I'm 'bout to touch like three to four meteors / and you can count on the love jones coming home to you cuz I adore mi amor / no doubt about it, I'll learn it so I'ma live it / B-Boy stance cold locked and monolithic / so everything you've ever heard before's now truer than it ever was / serious with the promise and it's all love /
And from Long Beach to Louisiana / up to Oakland and back, I plan to / keep my sights set on the goals I'm after / like a dreamcatcher so I have to man up / and in the process fall in love all over / the man in the mirror, world's weight on his shoulders / but a gifted misfit could hit the lick quick / once he figures out that he was the ish to begin with / and again it's all about action taken / no talking / have faith and proceed with caution / the road ahead narrows, homie, know your options / and don't get down on yourself so often / see, the literal spirit don't limit living in miracles / from inside when we decide to come together in spiritual / one of us / both of us / all of us to the pinnacle / and you know when we reach it I'll meet you there cuz it's called love /
So one love, one life, one selfless vision / one more puzzle piece bound to fit within / the constructs of these Mondays to Sundays / whether 5 to Valley View or 880 to Broadway / cuz living in the moment is what's universal now / beyond the awareness of what this world allows / but we can play by the house rules, I'll strap on my house shoes / and embrace the dynamics of individual values / so one more 'gain for the energy spent / to center all men and make enemies friends / and if some die by the sword then let it be them / who chose to be unfocused wherever they went / so in a sense all I can do is pledge myself to you / and you can trust in what I do, I'll trust in what you do / it's foolproof, and there's just one way to roll / and that's ahead, beyond horizons, and we've made it cuz we got love /
