Passion
Blackalicious feat Jurassic 5 Lyrics

Passion
This is what drives us, fuels us, and makes us strive for excellence.

The will to win, the spark within
The drive to achieve and surpass expectations in a competitive environment.

The strength within the hearts of men
A source of mental resilience and determination that can overcome adversity and opposition.

The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise
An innate motivation to continually improve, excel, and ascend to new heights.

You've just arrived the quest is driven through
As you begin your journey, you must be driven by passion to achieve your objectives.

To play through pain and love the game
A willingness to endure hardship and persevere in pursuit of a passion.

To break the chain and blaze the flame
To challenge the status quo and revolutionize what it means to pursue one's dreams.

The fight for rights to love your life, to rise
An ongoing struggle to assert one's right to pursue excellence and success in life.

Propaganda, positive propositions
Using persuasive communication to promote constructive ideas and attitudes.

Politician, musician, and a triple optician
A person who is skilled in multiple fields and can navigate complex situations effectively.

Still part of my missions to slaughter the opposition
A desire to overcome obstacles and dominate in competitive environments.

Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin'
Ignoring those who lack an understanding or appreciation for one's creative work or passion.

I do without blacks, I've done it without cash
A willingness to pursue one's passion purely for love of the craft, regardless of financial or social status.

Flashin', rappin', or jammin' or soundblastin'
Various forms of musical expression used to communicate and evoke emotion.

Runnin' through the jungle with a flare gun
Metaphorically facing dangerous and difficult situations with courage and boldness.

Arrow-arms, zoning out my mind, like I was hooked on hero-ine
Overcoming distractions and focusing intensely on one's passion, as if addicted to it.

Take the fire, turn it up and blaze the whole forest down
Intensifying and channeling one's passion to achieve greatness and leave a lasting impact.

Desire, the fire that inspires
A strong, burning motivation to follow one's dreams and make a difference in the world.

I don't state facts, I state buildings, like empires
Making grand statements and asserting power and influence through one's creative endeavors.

The journey, the learnin', the time-turnin'
The process of growth, discovery, and self-improvement that comes with pursuing a passion.

The searchin', the mind yearnin' to wake and find morning
An ongoing quest for knowledge, insight, and enlightenment in pursuit of one's passion.

Asking for action, braced for satisfaction
Approaching one's passion with a readiness to take action and reap the rewards of hard work and dedication.

The black-skinned African jazz-men of the half in Aspen
Symbolizing the power and beauty of musical expression across cultures and backgrounds.

Relaxed, gettin' my back rubbed
Enjoying the fruits of one's labor and taking time to appreciate the journey.

I'm still here, I've seen cats get killed here
Acknowledging the competitive and often dangerous nature of pursuing a passion.

You can buy airplanes but you can't buy cheers
Recognition, respect, and admiration must be earned through hard work and dedication, not purchased.

Sent vibrations for years, I've been waiting for years
A long-standing commitment to honing one's craft and sharing it with the world.

We hold stake in this here, it ain't safe for this year
Taking risks and pushing boundaries in order to achieve one's goals and make a difference.

We in the zone watch next level, takin' it there, this is
An unyielding commitment to reaching new heights and going above and beyond what others have done before.

Had a rough week, it got beat by passion
Recognizing the challenges and struggles that come with pursuing one's passion, but persevering in spite of them.

Saddled up, tweaked off a beat, started mashin'
Using one's passion as a means of escape or release from the struggles of daily life.

I don't bother with the dealers, I take it to the lab
Preferring to create and innovate rather than rely on established norms or conventions.

I grab mics and fans gravitate, I can't waste it
Embracing the power of music and its ability to unite people and inspire them to greatness.
