The Honorable Hakim Dough - ON YOUR MARCUS, GET SET, GO! Lyrics

Went to Senegal to finish an album
And how I felt
Was no matter how it comes out
It's good for my mental health
Time away from timelines
With timelines
Mrs. Debra cried when her son was young
Cuz his palms ain't have a long lifeline
I lost my dog to the streets
But street cats live in dog years
7 years is a lifetime
A soul can bring
Peace to the dark in the moment it takes the stars to light at nighttime
Pieces of our soul
Are just reflections of a-like shine
When I pick up the mic it's like
The flu game,
My goal is finding words
To uplift you through a trying time
I know the future looks bleek
But if he can make it out of Marcy
We can reach the coast of Africa to see what Marcus Garvey saw for us
It's hard to see the trees for all the forrest
Even in the richest country we the poorest
I guess, I care a lil less if the hook not catchy
Be sure to catch the lessons in the chorus
Some of what's to be learned
Can't be heard through a speaker
Be a student of the moment
Let life be your teacher
I'm listening for lessons
Asking questions with my actions
Painting pictures with my words
Drawing essays with the captions
Frame it how you wanna
I'm working on being still
As we focus on making a big move next year
Done seeing our mammas crying
We on to the next tier
Looking at the old country as a new frontier
Innovation is new perspectives on an old idea
Would rather send my love remotely
Than be controlled by fear
I know the future looks bleek
But if he can make it out of Marcy
We can reach the coast of Africa to see what Marcus Garvey saw for us
It's hard to see the trees for all the forrest
Even in the richest country we the poorest
I guess, I care a lil less if the hook not catchy
Be sure to catch the lessons in the chorus

Went to Senegal to finish an album
And how I felt
Was no matter how it comes out
It's good for my mental health
Time away from timelines

Cuz his palms ain't have a long lifeline

But street cats live in dog years
