The world has so much beauty,
so much that's worth pursuing
So much I haven't truly discovered
yet, but ooh -wee
Believe me, I'ma do it, no,
we gon' do it, excuse me
There's so much to be done,
still so much that needs to do it
But baby, that's the journey,
sweetheart, don't get discouraged
Cause you the one that told me
that we have a higher pur pose
Inside I feel a churning,
bubbling below the surface
I feel that undercurrent
that pulls us towards emergence
The world just keeps on turning,
lately I've seen a resurgence
Of compassion, love, and mercy,
people at each other's service
Sweetheart, don't get discouraged,
one thing I know for cer tain
Is that we have a higher purpose,
higher purpose, higher
Ooh, it isn't that I didn't want
something better
I didn't want to make my turn
Patience told me
Pa tience calls, but will I ever learn?
The world has so much balance
The world's become so violent
I ain't gotta spell it out
Because I'm slinging
all the numbers
Sometimes I feel so gallant
Sometimes I feel so shallow
Sometimes I feel so cold
Artificial and metallic
Just when you think it's damaged,
beyond the point of salvage
The universe corrects itself
and stores the proper bal ance
The world is just a canvas,
different colors on the palette
Darker people getting lighter,
lighter people getting browner
I see a shift in power,
I see a world more balanced
I see us as a planet,
I don't see us as an island
Sometimes our fate is challenged,
that's when we face the mountain
We either cry about it
or we rally and make it happen
Ooh, it isn't that I didn't want
something better
I didn't wanna wait my turn
All the way from the Bay Area,
California,
shout to my peoples,
Lateek the Truth Speaker, Trackademics,
and all my occupiers out there,
C -Holiday, you know we had to re mix it.
