Verse
Incessant
intense stress suggest some tense knots
You can’t
understand man the hand dealt in cards
If seeing is believing
Succeeding and achieving
Against all odds just a farce
My heart’s fallen apart
I’m a destined robot or old fart
The real me’s far beyond the stars
Chorus
I know it’s hard
To open up our minds and hearts
And reach beyond the stars
With so many scars
Dead ends and road blocks
Society’s trapped behind walls and bars
We created false pars
Unable to spar
Got distracted by money and cars
Extremely ivy league instead of street smart
Have human beings gone too far
How do we even start
To figure out who we truly are…
In order to become who you are
You got to really reach for your dreams and go hard
They’re somewhere out there far beyond the stars
Verse
Education’s on the fritz
It’s a money making business neglecting our kids
Not developing their wits is
Keeping them illiterate
So they won’t know or say shit
Let’s face it
Teachers basically get paid shit
They’re simply there to babysit
And don’t like it a bit
But can’t afford to quit
They’re miserably unhappy at their thankless job
They’d rather be an athlete or a hit man for the mob
Misdirecting bitterness and anger
Our children are being brought up by strangers
Do we not see the danger
Forgetting to invest in our future
I thought that’s what the youths were for
Instead we imbed this regretting and dreading
Of ignorance and fear that’s so upsetting
Totally not remembering
To help our fellow brethren
Provide an opportunity
To an impoverished community
Got to give back to where you came from
Search for self-worth fun and find some passion
It’s time to take action son
True character’s defined by your reactions
Experiencing things that hurt us
Seems to serve some sort of purpose
Don’t know what it is
So still handle your biz kids
Since nobody hands you all the answers
Trial and error’s much better
Do you think you can survive any weather
Break the chains away that tether and feather
You got to grow and somehow be a go getter
‘Cause if you are
You’ll get far
Heed these words I preach
And really reach hard to achieve
All your needs dreams and wants
There somewhere out there far beyond the stars
Chorus
I know it’s hard
To open up our minds and hearts
And reach beyond the stars
With so many scars
Dead ends and road blocks
Society’s trapped behind walls and bars
We created false pars
Unable to spar
Got distracted by money and cars
Extremely ivy league instead of street smart
Have human beings gone too far
How do we even start
To figure out who we truly are…
In order to become who you are
You got to really reach for your dreams and go hard
They’re somewhere out there far beyond the stars
Verse
Though the odds are stacked against you
You got to become who you’re meant to
Prove all the haters wrong
Show them to believe in there’s a reason for being born
Hold on strong
Especially when you’re feeling worn and torn
That you don’t belong
Listen to my songs
Heed these words I preach
And really reach hard to achieve
All your needs dreams or wants
There somewhere out there far beyond the stars…
I’ll say it again …
In order to become who you are
You got to really reach for your dreams and go hard
They’re somewhere out there far beyond the stars…
Yes they are…
They’re far beyond the stars
