Life’s not about success, it’s about progress
And they say, ‘who you are is who you spend your time with’
So assemble teams who will help you take the next step
Affiliate with betters; yo, that’s not a secret best kept
I’m my brother’s keeper but an only child
So I help my fam up whenever I hold it down
Like a King without a crown, we startin’ a movement
Not to make it perfect but to make an improvement
Who is practical? I just let the passion flow
Let ‘em throw stones if they feel it’s irrational
Everything is tactical; we go international
Gain a little traction yo, that’s what we takin’ action for
If you’re classical, then think outside the Bachs
Even if your show panned, the hidin’ has gotta stop
And if it’s Baroque, you know I’ll remix it
I’mma call the future though the number’s unlisted

Chorus:
We gonna be alright, let it ride, let it ride
We gonna be alright, let it ride tonight
We gonna be alright, let it ride, let it ride
We gonna be alright; we gonna be alright

Joe ‘Focus’ Martinez:
Yo we gonna be alright, even if we design
Something deep inside, I can free your mind
Can we disagree without seeking to divide
Can we save the peace without leaving the divine

Blake:
We can lead the tribe out the hood of the clan
Cuz a background of trust will create a promised land
And if that is utopia then I suggest we open up
A possibility that we can get a step closer to
Cuz I am not beholden to the past, every memory
Is now what I choose to be, rest is old news to me
Talkin’ how it used to be, actin’ like we duty free
When the language of compassion needs more fluency

Joe:
Yeah I flow fluidly, half-this, half-that
But you know my song’s all Sinatra and the Rat Pack

Blake:
So keep me in mind when you in N-Y
I’ll tell you a story at the end of the N line

Chorus

‘Verse-re in it put’ – run the platter back
‘Boundaries the police’ – in a habitat
‘Construct a are differences’ – imagine that
Sorry if the sentences are written so you have to grasp
It in retrospect, all I’m really sayin’ is
That we as a group choose to define relationships
And it may be best if we use as a test
The way people act, not the way people dress

Or the skin tone or the style of speech
No matter what your batter, we’ll get wild for weeks
Cuz if you a freak, I’m a Free Range Educator
Always Knowing everything, come on ride my elevator
Take you to another level, levitate your mindstate
You lookin’ bananas, and I’m feelin’ like a prime mate
It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How we hold it on our shoulders just to keep from goin’ under
