about

An old formula with a tightened grip,
Poetic mojitos would you like a sip?

lyrics

Last resort, we're passed retorts
Doin' it big, there's no remorse
Skywalker on the mic watch me use the force
Obi-wan with the guidance to keep you on course
Not the droids you're looking for? I found the source
That keeps the crowd hype, rocking back and forth
Slicker than your average on passed reports
But you can't compute, that's what math was for
And if you can't get enough, better ask for more
Gotta grind it out, that's the task for sure
And if you don't have a shot you should pass the ball
No need to be a hero and outclass them all
Yo it matters how you act at the casting call
So dust yourself off from that nasty fall
When you tripped and fell and you hit the wall
When you turned the key but the engine stalled

It's your life don't throw it away
Take chances before the wind blows it away
What you knew in yesteryear, do you know it today?
Here they're everywhere you mind going astray, I know it's OK (x2)

Life, I know it's kind of hard right?
Deal, make sure to play your cards right
Survive, cause this is surely our fight
Shine, your solar power star bright
Persevere when someone might derail you
Communicate when someone might have failed you
Believe in yourself and then they will too
Stay positive even if it kills you
High beam your attitude through the dark nights
And don't get too down about the stop lights
We're in some tough times but still we've got fight
And we won't over-react if we're not right
We just "push it along" like Phife and Tip
Make beats, sing songs, watch us write and rip
An old formula with a tightened grip
Poetic mojitos would you like a sip?

It's your life don't throw it away
Take chances before the wind blows it away
What you knew in yesteryear, do you know it today?
Here they're everywhere you mind going astray, I know it's okay (x2)
