Playin' (Instrumental)

That Straight Path (Instrumental)

1
Walkin’ on that straight path,
Lookin’ up at the blue,
Wondrin’ how I got lost,
Doin’ what my parents told me to.

I got a kickstart;
Learned piano at five.
Had a ruler at my back,
Slaved at songs to survive.

Yeah.
Life’s not as easy as it seems.
You run out of steam.
Times where I recited times tables in a stable stream.

That’s okay,
I was gonna be a doctor.
Brother’s friend was makin’ millis
Doing what her parents taught her.

Ooh,
What to do. What to do. 
Cause’ I know I liked playing with legos - LEGO - 
and shooting some hoops.
But Richard Parker mom would stop me so I’d learn about Pi,
I put my dreams on a boat to keep ‘em floatin’ alive.

I was stranded in a way though others followed that road everyday.
The paths that branched off left and right had tempted me in every way.
Thought it was the time I took a look for myself.
That was something I couldn’t help.

Hook
Yeah, it’s a fine day
Tryna spend it my way.
Find some adventure,
And take it to the highway.

Don’t stop, don’t let it fall down,
The world keeps turnin’ around.



Oh, it’s a fine day
Tryna spend it my way.
Keep up the good work
All the way to Friday.
Just remember we’re free,
I’ll make my own road please.

Woah, like a settler in the New World, uh, 
just minus the destruction;
Bad simile to choose. Early

In the mornin’, 
Had this new world to explore and
Had a hunger for explorin’
Found some fruit of knowledge for it.

Ooh,
Then I found the road of rap,
Had me some Kanye,
It’s ABCB rhyme here cause we 
Know Ye rhymes with Drizzy.

All this wordplay probably got you feelin dizzy.
Hittin’ up that Wharton app, we all about that busy.

Can’t stop. Cuz I know I shouldn’t let this chance off.
Like the Chancellor of Germany,
I’d need a Merkel (miracle) to advance off.

That wait; oh wait I hope this works.
But even in the worst case writing this had its perks.

So no regrets, the show reset,
Just gotta find the road to tread.
They say the sky’s the limit but STOP.
Let’s do the moon instead.

And Look back at the Earth and
Know that everything’s good, man
Philly, Delhi, Mississippi
Up in the hood, fam
