Story behind the song
I was motivated to write this song song because of a hard place I was in at the time. Eventually things started to look up and actually ended up better than anticipated. This reinforced my belief of the fact that you will be rewarded if you push on.
Lyrics
(Chorus) Said I know this life is trying And this world ain’t always what it seems But if you continue trying It’s inevitable that you’ll achieve your dreams Ain’t shit changed it’s the same old Lafa But I switched up my game and I came real proper Made you want ta move ya botty Wiggle ya bottom and come to the party Hey, theres a lot a cool folks about And you can feel the energy so why you holden’ out Won’t you Cut loose and dance with me And we can feel footloose and fancy free And if you wanna relax a while you don’t have to while out and act so wild you can sit back for now and just crack a smile if that ya style power to the people who pack the aisle and stand on seats cause they don’t have close tickets And cram in bleachers at sold out shows this is Something beautiful can’t you see toss your misanthropy and just dance with me. (Chorus) Yeah I get put down and I have shitty days And this life seems to test me in many ways but I just push on knowin’ each test plays an essential part on my dharmic stage and I’ve learned to harness rage and use it to create This way my karma stays in a positive place Cus I find it’s very easy to stay Negative But putting other people down around you ain’t no way to live I’d rather spread love and tell you keep your head up Then resort to violence when I get fed up Cause if you punch me in the face ain’t go ease the pain It’s just Go make you some new enemies so please refrain and yes I know that the road up ahead, it looks long So motivate hold up yeah head and push on (Chorus)
