Granite Earth
Opio Lyrics

They say life can be unfair, mm-hmm (whoa-oh)
The world is not always kind, but I believe that there is love and goodness present.

But I know it's love out there (I know it's love out there)
Despite the negativity we experience, I remain certain that there is love and positivity in the world.

I'm not blind I see despair (time and time again)
I am aware of the struggles and hardships that people go through, as I have seen it happen repeatedly.

So I gotta sing my prayer
I express my hopes and beliefs through music and prayer.

(We gon' sing, we gon' fly, in due time we all gon' shine)
Through our collective efforts, we will rise and shine in the future.

(I've got yours, you've got mine, it's all love when we combine)
When we work together and support each other, love is what brings us together.

(We gon' sing..)
Together, we will keep singing our hopes for a better future.

My nigga Pep Nitty put game in my ear
A friend of mine named Pep Nitty shared his wisdom with me.

Said he welcome the angel of death with no fear
Pep Nitty faces death with bravery and acceptance.

But he still got love on his heel and God's will
Despite facing death, Pep Nitty remains grounded in love and faith in a higher power.

So until life reveal it's secrets he gon' build and rebuild
Until he understands the true nature of life, Pep Nitty remains committed to growth and improvement.

While I write my architectural digests
As I create my own creations or documents, I keep in mind the concept of time as being subjective.

I keep in mind time is just an illusion
We need to understand that time is not a fixed concept, but instead, we interpret it differently.

Evolution, I'm only human, but soon in touch
As a human, I am subject to the process of evolution, but I am reaching out for something greater.

With the outer reaches, to each his own
Each person has their own path and journey, reaching for their own goals.

You might find that when you peep this song
Listening to this song might give you a new perspective or insight.

Or walkin down the ave when the heat is on
You might come to a realization while facing difficult situations.

You might find at the end of your rope with no hope
You might find yourself struggling and out of options.

And can't settle for lyin to yourself no more, nope
You must face the truth and stop lying to yourself.

I welcome any challenge that fall from the mountains
I am open to any challenge that may come my way.

And don't make excuses when I'm caught off balance (nah)
I do not make excuses for myself when things do not go as planned.

I take it as a blessing that a lesson was learned
I see every challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Another weapon in my arsenal to threaten the world
The ability to learn and grow is a powerful tool that can be used to make the world a better place.

Cause while the earth keep spinnin and maintain polarity
The earth will continue to change and evolve in complex ways.

Both sides of the coin destroy you as a casualty (actually)
There is danger and darkness in every situation, even those that may seem positive at first.

Or take you on a ride to heights never imagined
Alternatively, a challenging situation may lead you to unexpected success and achievement.

In your wildest, childish, self-indulgence get you pulverized
However, it is important to remain grounded and avoid indulging in self-destructive behaviors.

I'm starin at the sun while you close your eyes
I am facing reality and taking risks while others hide from it.

A new situation, one more disguise, but I'm fortified
Every new situation presents a new challenge, but I am ready to face them head-on.

Like Organized - "Crush, kill, destroy, STRESS"
I am inspired by the musical group Organized, who teaches us to push through stress and difficult situations.

Ignore the lies and soar through the skies while you mortified
I do not let negative emotions or deceit bring me down, as I rise above it all.

People stay a-round like a ring
People often stay close to one another, forming close bonds that cannot be broken.

I foreseen when I was a teen I'd rise like steeeeeeam
From a young age, I had high hopes and expectations for my own success and future.

No matter what life brings
Despite any challenges or obstacles that come my way,

I'm on the brink of somethin big, I devise my dreeeeeam
I remain confident and determined to achieve my dreams and goals.

And joy come with the sting
Success and happiness often come after facing difficulties and overcoming obstacles.

The smile and the frown, the ying and the yang it seeeeeeem
Life is full of contrasts and contradictions.

That life and death are the same
Life and death are intertwined and cannot be separated.

And what remains is love and it's standing alone beaaaaming
Love is what remains after everything else fades away, and it can stand on its own.

Miguel, batter up, strikeout
I am ready to face any challenge, whether it is success or failure.

Or hit a home run and the fans all SHOOOOOOOOOUT
Alternatively, I may achieve great success and receive recognition and support from those around me.

You know what I'm talkin about
You understand the high stakes and potential outcomes of taking risks.

Failure or success and major clout is a myth
Whether you succeed or fail, the idea of achieving or possessing power and influence is a falsehood.

And got my niggaz chasin a wish
Others may chase after unrealistic or impossible goals in pursuit of success or power.

Gettin dead on a Cadillac just to get a win
They may even risk their own lives or well-being in pursuit of something that may not be worth it.

But the good life, like they got good hair
People often idolize or covet those who they perceive as having a better life or better qualities than themselves.

And all we do is hate ours, complain and stare and sit
We waste our lives by focusing on the negatives and complaining instead of seeing the positives and taking action.

In the same deck apartment
We live in the same conditions and environment

And waste away another day in the compartment
And let another day pass us by without making progress or taking action towards our goals.

But they free, and don't know they have what they need
Others may have a sense of freedom and contentment even though they do not realize they already have everything they need.

I see planet in the granite indeed will be a treat
I see beauty and positivity in the world around me, even in the hardness and harshness of stone.

(and that's right y'all, yeah)
I am confident and sure of my beliefs and actions.
