The Journey
Smith & Dragoman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A Journey project
The Different Topic
The Flow Hypnotic
So Melodic
Picking up speed
Like it was super sonic
Never Stopping
Aint getting Cocky
I hit Em with the One, Two
Like Rocky
You tryna copy
A little more Exciting
When I pick up the pen and start writing
I’m fighting
With these words
You dying
To get a Verse
You cyphering
Is the worst
Sunday
So Time for Church
Runway
I’m flying first
I’m tryna Move it
Lately I feel I’m losing
People keep asking for more music
Well Here it is
But I bet you won’t listen
Asking for an album
But Disappear when it’s hitting
I don’t know what I’m missing
I’m tryna Move
Life’s a Journey
I’m tryna move it
I’m Always learning
I’m Tryna Move
Life’s a Journey
I’m Tryna Move It
I Hope it’s working
I’m Tryna Move
1,2 1,2
Mic check
I know I’ve had my rest
This ain’t even my best
I say it with my chest
carry all these blessings
So it’s time I Give lesson
From heaven
I call my brethren
Yeah
Mind over matter
& money over power
I devour
All of my hours
Cause time ain’t gone wait
For no man
I say I have new plan
I hope I get some new fans
I don’t need anybody just to
Tell me what to do man
Life’s a Journey
I’m tryna move it
I’m Always learning
I’m Tryna Move
Life’s a Journey
I’m Tryna Move It
I Hope it’s working
I’m Tryna Move
Life’s a Journey
I’m tryna move it
I’m Always learning
I’m Tryna Move
Life’s a Journey
I’m Tryna Move It
I Hope it’s working
I’m Tryna Move
The lyrics of "The Journey" by Smith & Dragoman are about the struggles and triumphs of pursuing one's dreams. The rapper reflects on the ups and downs of his journey, from the excitement of picking up speed and moving toward his goal to the frustration of people not listening to his music or disappearing when he releases an album. He doesn't let these setbacks stop him, though, and instead focuses on the fact that he's always learning and always trying to improve his craft. He compares his drive to that of Rocky, using his words as weapons to fight back against anyone who tries to stop him. The chorus reinforces his determination, as he repeats the mantra that life is a journey that he's constantly trying to move forward on.
One of the key themes in the song is the importance of perseverance. The rapper acknowledges that it's not easy to keep going when things get tough, but he's committed to his passion and willing to put in the work to make his dreams a reality. The lyrics also touch on the idea that success is not just about talent or luck, but also about hard work and dedication. The rapper asserts that he doesn't need anyone to tell him what to do, because he knows that he has the skills and the drive to succeed on his own terms.
