The Journey
Smith & Dragoman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Yuh, it’s Chapter Three)
A Journey project
The Different Topic
The Flow Hypnotic
So Melodic
Picking up speed
Like it was super sonic
Never Stopping
Even if Satan try to stop me
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
