All my people, trying to get through every day
When it's so not equal, you just wanna run away
All my people, when you're up you're down
And it's far from peaceful, and things can't turn around
It's still beautiful
Life's still beautiful and that's it
The only thing is we don't get to practice
Every day's enough
We'll struggle on the steepest mountain obstacles
That's thrown into our way until I cascade
Well every morning when I open up my eyes
And smell the fragrance of the flowers, they can't mask it
While I'm basking in the daylight
Thanking god that I'm alive
Even the morning when the pouring rain comes crashing
It's still beautiful
Like my children in the fire in their soul
So familiar to my own, it's so fantastic
Like Sunday mornings growing up
When my mother tidied up
Around the gaff, I do my homework, music blasting
Memories everlasting
I said I done my homework, I was writing rhymes
When the teacher asked on Monday morning I was telling lies
Even back then I had my head up in the skies
I was lit, trying to burn out all the darkness in my life
All my people, trying to get through every day
When it's so not equal, you just wanna run away
All my people, when you're up you're down
And it's far from peaceful, and things can't turn around
It's still beautiful
In the times of worldwide calamity
Epidemics sever and shut off so many salaries
Trying to control what you can't, that's insanity
You might as well put on some gloves and box gravity
The universe flows, the powers they have agendas
The sound of my fathers laughter I can remember
Fires that burn the brightest will always leave little embers
But everybody's journey plays out, return to sender
How bout' you save a couple moments
Even if the window you're staring through now is broken
Even if the door that you're pushing is hard to open
Always keep your eye on the target and stay scoping
They say the journey is the destination
Slow your time, smell the flowers, have a little patience
No matter what, all the ups cause you keep facing
Look for the beauty and remember that you're dream chasing
All my people, trying to get through every day
When it's so not equal, you just wanna run away
All my people, when you're up you're down
And it's far from peaceful, and things can't turn around
It's still beautiful
