Quadro the Magnificent - Resolution Lyrics

So we took another trip around the sun
Seems to me like most of us are loud and dumb
Myself included, I am far too proud to front
So how we gonna start to channel what we got to get our siblings out these slums?
How'd we come to be so hungry that our brothers don't get none?
But it's fun to feed addictions
Thizzin'
Twisted off this bud
Dumpin' bubbly on sluts
The seedy underbelly's run by thuggish companies that plunder from what keeps the Public numb

But I am here, and I am feeling resolute
I ain't no Sith, I do not deal in absolutes
I'mma speak on what I feel, and that's the truth
And this is not how I usually do this, but I got some resolutions
How bout you?
How bout you?
I can make change anytime I choose
So, how bout you?
This is how things move:
Shit starts in my head, works down to my shoes, and the crowd goes "ooh"
The crowd goes "ooh"
But I'm in that crowd, and I'm shouting too
As I balance you and me and we and every route to run power through
So, how bout you?
How bout you?
Yeah, how bout you?
How bout you and you and you and you...
How bout you?
How bout you?
I can make change anytime I choose
This is how things move:
Shit starts in my head, works down to my shoes, and the crowd goes

Kinda feels a lot like I been starting fresh
Out from under what's been weighing on my chest
Spent so much time just tryna sort through all this mess
Shit was stressful
Now I finally feel my head is clearing
Let's go see what's left
Check my friends list
Independence is a myth
It's apprenticeship to everyone I'm with
So selection is a thing to put intention in
Think: which'll be with me in the end?
Who's got a skill I can use to propel myself to a position where I got a hand to lend?
Wait a second, I got hands right now
Shit, who among you can I trust to tell me where to spend my effort?
I want every bit of sweat poured into important shit
Who can tell me what important is?
I guess for some things, I just gotta find that source within
Abhor the sin
Abort the plans of extortionists
Force the split, never hoard the wisdom
Yeah, I'mma share my fortune with those less fortunate

I'm here and shit, I'm feeling resolute
I ain't no Sith, I do not deal in absolutes
I'mma speak on what I feel, and that's the truth
And this is not how I usually do this, but I got some resolutions
How bout you?
How bout you?
I can make change anytime I choose
So, how bout you?
This is how things move:
Shit starts in my head, works down to my shoes, and the crowd goes "ooh"
The crowd goes "ooh"
But I'm in that crowd, and I'm shouting too
As I balance you and me and we and every route to run power through
So, how bout you?
How bout you?
Yeah, how bout you?
How bout you and you and you and you...
How bout you?
How bout you?
I can make change anytime I choose
This is how things move:
Shit starts in my head, works down to my shoes, and the crowd goes

I think it's time to put the drugs back on the shelf
Self-medication was to face one's inner hell
I did not give a shit about my friggin health
And shit, well, now I do
Since I've reframed it as "capacity to help"
I'm out my shell
Thinking what'll happen if I fail
Thinking bout the folks who wanna see me doing well
Thinking bout the shit we could accomplish
All the problems we could solve
It ain't gotta be tooth and nail
I can see it through the veil
Truth prevails
Paddle if you wanna, I'mma use a sail
I'mma get these holes in the hull plugged up so I can spend less time stooped over, tryna scoop and bail
I'mma find better ways to get the mind quiet
Maybe through meditation or exercise
Try to maintain youth for the rest of life
And try to make sure you get the best of mine
I'mma pay them dues till my sweat is dry
And I'mma make them moves when the check arrives
And when my time's spent, I'mma go make room
Try to find who's next in line

So, how bout you?
