lyrics
INTRO:
Theres a difference between being self entitled, and having moxie and determination; may be subtle, yet it's vital, that it's understood by sitting you aint getting up that hill. Practice is the difference between an interest and a skill. If there's a will there's a way, but if still you remain, than still you'll remain, and hope to maintain. Don't ask, don't get so go stake your claim. Or still you will remain.
CHORUS: [Mannequin Skywalker] Where there's a will there's a way, but if still you remain, than still you'll remain and only hope to maintain, yea. Will there's a way, but if still you remain than ladada ladada ladada dada.
[Small Hands] What that moon mean? Oh its waxing, it represents progress and growth thanks for asking. Yo, what that tattoo mean, it's a
waxing moon, it represents progress thanks for asking dude.
VERSE 1
Let me earn my keep / Snicker while I search for a seat / Putting my words to a beat / Things that I learned in the street and repeatedly feeling the hurt of defeat / Me being me, I'm determined, I geek / Ones that I think that might hear me and freak / Seem to be first people turning a cheek / So I keep on creeping further out to sea / I float, that's an Aesop quote / I'll fashion a raft to trade in for a boat / Captain the craft to ensure that I go / To the spot on the map where the treasure is shown / Treading remains of less fortunate souls / That were heading that way but the weather is know / To mess up a day so the course that I row / Is steadily changing, get with the flow
CHORUS: [Mannequin Skywalker] Where there's a will there's a way, but if still you remain, than still you'll remain and only hope to maintain, yea. Will there's a way, but if still you remain than ladada ladada ladada dada.
[Small Hands] What that moon mean? Oh its waxing, it represents progress and growth thanks for asking. Yo, what that tattoo mean, it's a
waxing moon, it represents progress thanks for asking dude.
VERSE 2
When I get there, let me sit there for a bit and stare / Let me sniff the air / 'Till what I came for become crystal clear / Bet I leave no trace than I disappear, POOF / I just wanna take it all in like a gravity bong / Than I'm traveling on / If you're tagging along there's more adventure ahead / We'll be better off dead by the end of the song / Seen too much, know too much, better keep my focus up / Nose down to the grindstone / Eyes forward
CHORUS: [Mannequin Skywalker] Where there's a will there's a way, but if still you remain, than still you'll remain and only hope to maintain, yea. Will there's a way, but if still you remain than ladada ladada ladada dada.
[Small Hands] What that moon mean? Oh its waxing, it represents progress and growth thanks for asking. Yo, what that tattoo mean, it's a
waxing moon, it represents progress thanks for asking dude.
VERSE 3
It's [My Moon Tattoo] a permanent reminder / The further I climb the more I'm inclined to try to go higher / I'm a circle of lifer / I'm a survivor / I'm a persistent, persuasive creator of fire / Making it brighter / Begging your pardon, and taking your lighter / Emotion exciter / A proton inside a hadron collider / Psyche! A menace dragging a Radio Flyer / I've had my skivvies ablaze and hung from a wire / Maybe I'm quieter / 'cause I'm learning to listen / Heard it could convert this info to wisdom / Swallow criticism, digest and use it as fuel for my engine / Ima rock this vessel / Although I know I'm not special, most of you aren't on my level / Life is like onion and fennel: the layers are substance, nothing in the middle.
