On Your Shoulders

[Verse 1 Jimblah] I see em talkin like I talk it I can walk it if I'm cautious at times Fumblin words a verse is imperfect Yet to define or explain It's kinda hard rather simple an plain We maintain by ourselves do gooders seek the change Go about it the wrong way like It's been a long day We all in this struggle together These are the breaks that we face We can change but ourselves then others as well Lead the example then follow they shall So young Padawan, word, get ya battle on Respect is a two way street, remember what up Knowledge is the key to the treasure we possess, hold ya head We in it for the long haul respect, uh huh My mother said "think before you says", word em up My unc said "look before you step", so ahh I let the music speak for itself One love to each their own and everybody else [Hook Solo & Jimblah] You can carry it all on your shoulders Like you're the only one to resolve it Let's just try to be, to be What's your motivation?

How many billions could you reach that you care to convince? And those you hold dear, are they there in your midst? Do they know you battle with pen or the fist? Trying to make everything right Trying to make everything fix As if everything you consider wrong wasn't meant to exist But to somebody then that'd be this
