ecg - when faith met thought and ambition was born lyrics

i was born an old soul with an ignorant mind
thinking i could grow forever if i’m so inclined
never one to wait or follow couldn’t stand in line
like any child i was wild but developed with time
some developed their minds some developed addictions
most developed an affinity for simply sitting
me i stayed around the studio and worked on written
operating with precision try’n to find whats missing
from my soul and i know most of those who sat
where caving to the same flaws i was working at
its amazing how a gods never based on fact
how no matter what you love faith the base that
yet so few see polished gl-ss with faith in what looks back
imitation taught you how to talk walk and act
but perfection didn’t raise you so theirs plenty you lack
don’t let the fiction you where given start to warp your math

you can grow and grow you don’t get but old
cause a dreams a dream and a plans a plan
they could never coincide guess i’ll never understand
cause still i’m steady working with this pen up in my hand
you can grow and grow you don’t get but old
cause a dreams a dream and a plans a plan
they could never coincide guess i’ll never understand
cause still i’m steady working with this pen up in my hand

lets talk about liquor
no lets talk about weed
they talk about failure
then lets talk about me
lets talk about cutting cl-ss with no future to see
lets talk about giving everything to make cd’s
lets talk about a 9 to 5 until college done
lets talk about the real workers
and lets talk about the bums
lets talk about what feels intelligent
and what feels dumb
lets stop the talk and take some action while my -ss still young

the kid that wants to fight fires never inhaled fumes
the one that wants to be a cop never dealt with goons
the one that wants to be a doctors never been on call
we see the goal without the struggle that’s the kid in us all
and to many switch the goal once the struggle begins
and when the problems start they make that switch again
its not until you learn to sacrifice you learn to win
so ignore those claiming comfort and keep getting it in

they train me like a pet while i beg for dollars
the pay checks my treat and the ties my collar
but still i’m writing tracks when that work days done
cause you can train a dog to sit but you can’t teach him not to love to run
where i am’s not where i’m from no i’ve never been a bum
hustle while they sit and watch the way these f-cking dollars come
oh my god they got him young took a lot and taught him none
told him he should follow tried to keep him on the bottom wrung
i found the way they bought the bottles and the bullsh-t bothersome
so i got a book a blunt and read while buddy bought a gun
sacrificed to learn while he sold his soul to profit some
see the dream he seen was sold he acted before thought begun
he didn’t plan or sacrifice he took the dream they brought to him
i saw him through the gl-ss and ask his -ss why he had acted dumb
he said he needed faster funds told me that his mind was numb
so make your dream a plan a plot and never use a borrowed one
