[Intro]
2
We could grow
3
We could develop
4
As we know, the heaven is not a place
5
And happiness lives in the heart
6
Long as the world keep turning
7
I do years, we keep on learning
8
Ya heard?
9
[Hook]
10
Keep on learning
11
And soaking up game
12
We gon make mistakes
13
We gon go through some things
14
Keep on growing
15
Keep on soaking up game
16
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change
17
[Verse 1]
18
Nobody know it all, as soon as you think you do â€" that’s when you fall
19
We gotta do more than survive, we must evolve
20
Things change just when you thought you seen it all
21
We trip, we stumble but we get back and strike
22
Each day, all the way, one step at a time
23
Don’t wanna make my ego and pride make me blind
24
The elders say “when you stop growing â€" that’s when you dieâ€
25
The one who gets the knowledge is the one who asked “why?â€
26
Through the course of life, you gon taste some humble pie
27
But I love it â€" it makes me appreciate the things that I take for granted
28
Gaining insight and understanding
29
Each one, teach one, we got to pass it on
30
Keep doing the knowledge, building and had in all
31
We’re fake that need assumption
32
That nobody knows everything but everybody knows something
33
[Hook]
34
Keep on learning
35
And soaking up game
36
We gon make mistakes
37
We gon go through some things
38
Keep on growing
39
Keep on soaking up game
40
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change
41
[Verse 2]
42
Yo yo, the more you know, the more you know â€" you don’t know
43
And if you don’t know there’s more you can know then you won’t grow
44
What you don’t know can hurt you, discipline is a virtue
45
You gotta ask the right questions, it helps you go into cycles and cyphers and spirals
46
Information is viral, it infects you, it’s contagious and have you going through stages
47
Like deny, you don’t believe that
48
No, we didn’t do that
49
Then reality set in, there’s no disputin’ the facts
50
Yo I’m sorry if I woke you up, but when I open up
51
It’s like I’m smoking but I’m high off the people, watch me soak it up
52
Huey said the best education is observation and participation
53
Study how the people be relatin’
54
Different points of views turn bad news to good news
55
See, it’s kinda like some shoes cuz they gotta make you move
56
Treat it like organic food, make it something you can chew
57
Information you can use, make it something you can do
58
[Hook]
59
Keep on learning
60
And soaking up game
61
We gon make mistakes
62
We gon go through some things
63
Keep on growing
64
Keep on soaking up game
65
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change
66
[Interlude]
67
Aye man, it’s okay to say you don’t know
68
That’s when you let go your ego
69
You’re free from all illusion, dig?
70
Can’t make moves in confusion
71
Don’t look for conflict, man
72
Always look for the solution
73
And my pop said “humility is a sign of wisdomâ€
74
But to really soak it in, now that’s a different kind of listening
75
See man sharpen man
76
And every day is another lesson
77
And it’s not fair you only learn man
78
It’s a blessing
79
And as the Buddha says, “nothing lasts foreverâ€
80
You gotta manage your expectations
81
The less we pray, the less we suffer
82
And this way we awaken
83
Right understanding
84
Right thought
85
Right speech
86
Right action
87
Right livelihood
88
Right effort
89
Right mindfulness
90
Right focus
91
Keep soaking
92
Soak it up
93
[Hook]
94
Keep on learning
95
And soaking up game
96
We gon make mistakes
97
We gon go through some things
98
Keep on growing
99
Keep on soaking up game
100
If something ain’t working, don’t be afraid to change
