Passion
Rakaa-Iriscience Lyrics

Passion
Having a strong will to win with an inner spark that motivates you.

The will to win, the spark within
Having the drive to be successful and motivated by an inner spark.

The strength within the hearts of men
The inner strength that motivates men to be great.

The drive to press, to strive for best, to rise
Persevering through trials and striving to be the best.

You've just arrived the quest is driven through Passion
You have just begun your pursuit for success and it is driven by your passion.

To play through pain and love the game
Enduring pain to play the game and enjoying it.

To break the chain and blaze the flame
Breaking free from constraints and igniting the passion within.

The fight for rights to love your life, to rise
The struggle for the freedom to love your life and to rise to success.

Propaganda, positive propositions
Promoting a positive message and ideas.

Politician, musician and a triple optician
Being skilled in multiple areas like politics, music, and being an optometrist.

Still part of my missions to slaughter the opposition
Engaging in missions to defeat opponents who do not understand your message or music.

Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin'
Addressing critics who do not comprehend the message and tell them to stop complaining.

I do without blacks, I've done it without cash
Creating music without financial gain or support from the black community.

Strictly for the love of the art - that's passion
Creating music purely for the love of the art and fueled by passion.

Flashin', rappin' or jammin' or soundblastin'
Performing through any medium like dancing, rapping, jamming or sound blasting.

Runnin' through the jungle with a flare gun
Going through life's difficulties like running through a jungle with only a flare gun for help.

Arrow-arms, zoning out my mind
Being ready for anything and being mentally prepared for success.

Like I was hooked on hero-ine
Being addicted to the pursuit of greatness similar to being addicted to heroin.

Take the fire, turn it up and blaze whole forest down
Using your passion to ignite others around you and turn a small flame into a raging fire.

Desire, the fire that inspires
Being motivated by an inner desire and fire that fuels inspiration and passion.

I don't state facts, I state buildings, like empires
Not reporting facts but instead creating towering buildings of knowledge and ideas that inspire others.

The journey, the learnin', the time-turnin'
The process of learning, experiencing and growing through personal development.

The searchin', the mind yearnin' to wake and find morning
Searching for an answer and finding it after a long period of time and growth.

The ladies they love the long-lasting
Women are attracted to what is long-lasting and the long-term pursuit of excellence.

Asking for action, braced for satisfaction
Asking for a challenge and being ready for the feeling of fulfillment after achieving the goal.

The black-skinned African jazz-men of the half in Aspen
African American jazz musicians in the Half Moon Bay Area in Colorado known for their music.

Relaxed, gettin' my back rubbed
Being at ease and calm while getting a back massage.

I'm still here, I've seen cats get killed here
Even after experiencing harsh circumstances, I am still here and have witnessed the death of others.

I've seen cats make a mil but millionaires still fear
I have seen people accumulate millions of dollars but still fear not being successful.

You can buy airplanes but you can't buy cheers
Money cannot buy true happiness and admiration from others.

Sent vibrations for years, I've been waiting for years
Sending out a message that has taken years to develop and waiting for it to catch on.

We hold stake in this here, it ain't safe for this year
Investing oneself into a pursuit of excellence and being ready for the challenge ahead.

We in the zone watch next level, takin' it there, this is
Being in a state of complete focus and heading towards the next level in pursuit of success.

Had a rough week, it got beat by passion
Having a difficult week that is overpowered by the driving force of passion.

Saddled up, tweaked off a beat, started mashin'
Responding to a beat by getting pumped up and performing at a high level.

Matador Rica, the heat from the heater
Being a matador challenging the opposition and bringing in the heat to seal the victory.

In her world, dwellin', hear the world
Living in one's own thoughts with profound self-awareness.

Yellin' for a leader
Desperate for someone to follow, waiting for a leader to emerge.

I grab mics and fans gravitate, I can't waste it
Taking hold of the mic and having fans drawn to the music and not wanting to waste the opportunity.
