[Verse 1: Gradient]

Before the Red Sox lifted the Bambino curse

Before a childish Donald ever spit a Gambino verse

Before Obama gave a speech at the DNC and proceeded to inconvenience the GOP and its leaders who dream to see the day that he’ll be deceased or at least impeached

Before they split us and divided with Citizens United

Back when pot smokers in Colorado had to hide it

Before Miley Cyrus had ever tried it

I been tryin’ to be the best version of myself

Sacrificing physical and mental health

For the things that my soul longs for

I used to wait so long for an opportunity to knock on my front lawn door

But it was all wrong consequences fall on you

If you do not crawl through; if you want it

Don’t be caught up in the politics, media, all of the things

Be a follower but be one who follows a dream

I ain’t trying to preach or be profound

I've just found that some lessons aren’t leather-bound

You can sit around askin’ how they do it

Or you can follow your passions, maybe make music

Two of us are doing that – me and Sammy Warm Hands

You can learn to take your life into your own hands

It ain’t easy believe me, it’s just the hardest thing

But the world’s waiting to receive what you’re gonna bring

I don’t think I have time to wait around anymore [x4]

[Verse 2: Sammy Warm Hands]

Before Russell and Darryl and Jay Mizell

Were famous, rocking Adidas apparel and raising hell

Before Steve made jobs and iPods sell

Before Hugh Hefner was ever chasing tail

Every acclaimed face had to blaze a trail

They just made the decision and weren’t afraid to fail

To face defeat and still reach the bravest feat

From Farmers Blvd on to Beacon Street

We cease to be defined by the lines

We feast our eyes on the brighter side

Blinded by the plight? Strife is multiplied

So either climb the high road or hope to die

Take your time, find a place to hide – rest easy

‘Cause you’re ready for everything that life leads

Being it higher education or Exiled weekly

You can reach your dreams if you believe it deeply

I ain’t trying to preach or be profound

I’ve just found that some lessons aren’t leather-bound

You can sit around asking how they do it

Or you can follow your passions, maybe make music

Two of us are doing that – me and Gradient

Only saying don’t stop until you’re rocking stadiums

It ain’t easy believe me, it’s the hardest thing

But the world’s patiently waiting for what you’re offering
