The Journey
D.M.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can hop on, unless you do me dirty
We in a hurry
The gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
Yo
That's how I stay happy
We want to change the game but the system's kinda laggy
Yo, don't try to test me
Stay in your own lane
How're you going to improve when you mentality stays the same
Fast life, some be living in a hurry
But it's not where your heading
It's all about the journey
Focus on the money
So I try to get mine
But this way of thinking got me losing my sense in time, you see
I try to climb, ain't no reason to stop
Shit was never given, so I make due with what I got
Till I'm at the top, I'm always driven
This 36 shitbox leaving my mark skiddin
I'm only living healthy when the fruit is forbidden
Salary is what defines your social position
And I'm still rollin spliffin, fuck what you're thinking
Try to stay afloat in this world that's sinking
The gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I'm getting out my shovel, dig these grounds to find my wishlist
God I'm trying to reach you, I just hope that you can hear this
Don't dismiss, just listen, there's a reason why I'm spittin
I turn the power on, ignite your brain to start the thinking (pling)
Warming up the engine
Starting off with some light spanking
You gotta unlearn all your instincts if you want to climb the ranking
Just testing
God I need a blessing
Make these people see that greed ain't something to invest in
I hope to plant a seed, and grow trees with fruit of wisdom
This life ain't about the speed or greed, it's how you live it
I'm trying to make you so that we don't live to wing it
When you live a life of love I think you're winning
True gold is in the journey
Everyday you get up early
Don't get spoiled, no don't get Shirly
Take the time, no, don't you hurry
Eyesight, is kinda blurry
I don't stress, no I don't worry
Cause the traffic lights are on my side
I'm ultimate, like Denzel Curry
Gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
I said the gold, gold is in the journey (journey)
Uh
The gold is in the journey
Some do me dirty
Twofaced like Shirly, surely
living life without a journey
Unstoppable no worries
Shooting trees like Curry
Yo, fuck this shit man cut it
