Lyrics
INTRO
A Principle should not be confused with a leader of a school or an amount that becomes a slave to interest
A principle becomes a vessel in which good can travel upon
There once was a little boy that
choose to live by them,
and he found out that life may not be easy
but instead of feeling queasy....
He just went hard
VERSE 1
once upon a time ago
call me, maybe 5 years old
just wasn't that cool
i figured i just go to school
sittin in my little chair,
feet dancin in the air
starin at the teacher there
sharin views without a care
"okay class, attention please
today we speak of honesty
when you hear it honestly
applaud that choice unconsciously"
"teacher teacher, gotta question
not really sure what you're testin
somethings missin in this lesson
there's deeper issue present"
"Why.....elevate those that speak honestly?
clappin our hands to a standard that we all should truly be?
if the truth decided to work from 9-5
then everything between would be moments we live lies"
jaw dropped, teacher stopped, didn't know how to respond
he decided not to hear me out and pushed to move on
hands still raised not trying to be satirical
so i pointed to the door sent him to the principle
CHORUS
Truth, Compassion,
Forgiveness, Never rationed
Words not heard but
principles you cash in
Truth, Compassion,
Forgiveness, Never rationed
Words not heard but
Ideals forever lastin
VERSE 2
after a decade or two
lovin the world like my boo
any wrong she'd ever do
just thought it was too damn cute
sunny days to starry nights
highs and lows, yeah we still fight
in the end, she's always right
until she gave me some insight
"we are not forever
and we are not together
without me
you will neva live a life any better"
heart broken, air chokin,
can't believe the words spoken
didn't budge, hold no grudge
chose to share these words from above
"20 somethin years passed
who needs swag if i'm in class
graded by The One that lasts
earnin gold stars on His path"
"movin past the past days
treat each day like my last day
if you think it sounds cray
they said the same when Prophets pray"
tears dried, world cried, chose to live this life of mine
if i never heard the truth how could I speak of The Divine
i forgave her harsh words, no matter how critical
embraced the world into my arms so she could see the principle
CHORUS
Truth, Compassion,
Forgiveness, Never rationed
Words not heard but
principles you cash in
Truth, Compassion,
Forgiveness, Never rationed
Words not heard but
Ideals forever lastin
VERSE 3
they say that money is time
so i lived a pair of dimes
shiftin my paradigm
young in body, muslim mind
this faith of mine
is not a crime
misused at times
when you read it line by line
end up seeing signs
principles to the nines
don't just live to die but
die to live beside
principles by your side
never need to run and hide
from those guys
that fantasize
with many lies
grabbing up the easy prize
truly weak inside
not knowing principles like
CHORUS
Truth, Compassion,
Forgiveness, Never rationed
Words not heard but
principles you cash in
Truth, Compassion,
Forgiveness, Never rationed
Words not heard but
Ideals forever lastin
