| Ya, ya, ya, come on, man
 |

 | 
| Word up, man
 | 
| Ayo, where the fuckin' Rose at, man?
 | 
| It’s funny how the world just turns around
 | 
| (Turns around and shit, you know?)
 | 
| Everything that goes up, just know that it might be coming down
 | 
| (Coming down, nigga)
 | 
| And nothing new under the sun
 | 
| (Ayo, ain’t nothin' ever new, man)
 | 
| Everything’s already been done
 | 
| Listen to the words of this song
 | 
| If you’re coming from the right place, you could never go wrong
 | 
| (Never go wrong, you know what I’m sayin'?)
 | 
| Life can just pass you by
 | 
| So I just keep my head to the sky, hold it up high
 | 
| What we gotta figure out
 | 
| Is how to just work it out

 | 
| Open your mind (Open your mind)
 | 
| To get to the prize (Get to the prize)
 | 
| Let me tell you something I know (Yeah)
 | 
| You gotta be more careful of the things that you wish for
 | 
| Just like King Midas, I was told
 | 
| (Just like King Midas, as I was told)
 | 
| Everything that glitters and glows
 | 
| (Everything that he touch don’t turn to gold)
 | 
| And if you really know how God works
 | 
| (Damn, shit is mean)
 | 
| Anything is possible
 | 
| But you’ve got to just put Him first
 | 
| He holds the world in His hands
 | 
| I’ll understand, it’s all in His plans
 | 
| What we got to figure out
 | 
| Is how to just work it out
 | 
| (Gotta figure out)
 | 
| Nothing’s more precious than time
 | 
| (Nothing is more precious than time)
 | 
| Tell what life’s about, people gotta work it out
 | 
| Open your mind (Open your mind)
 | 
| To get to the prize (To get to the prize)
 | 
| A rolling stone letter from daddy
 | 
| In all the struggles I maintain
 | 
| Refuse to go back between aggie
 | 
| Savvy, grown with a lot of remorse
 | 
| The grind made me define
 | 
| Whatever times we’re in, we’re lost
 | 
| But keep the love, dear, open your heart
 | 
| I invested it well and now successful and I’m special as hell
 | 
| So many black clouds broke out the day I caught myself
 | 
| Got smoked out, wish I had a moment to sell (Moment to sell)
 | 
| You could be what you wanna
 | 
| Me, I’m just a genius, a go-gunner
 | 
| That’s what’s real, niggas can’t front on
 | 
| My style, my personality, this is my reality
 | 
| Keep it movin', you could do well
 | 
| From the half-steppin', I’ve been born to regulate and strive
 | 
| Try to stay rich in the heart, stay strong
 | 
| Real niggas repeat it, Faith, drop a bracelet, we need it
 | 
| Shala Shell, peace, we need it
 | 
| What we got to figure out
 | 
| Is how to just work it out
 | 
| Nothing’s more precious than time
 | 
| (Nothing is more precious than time)
 | 
| Tell you what life’s about, people gotta work it out
 | 
| Open your mind (Open your mind)
 | 
| To get to the prize (Get to the prize)
 | 
| What we got to figure out
 | 
| Is how to just work it out
 | 
| Nothing’s more precious than time
 | 
| Tell you what life’s about, people gotta work it out
 | 
| Open your mind (Open your mind)
 | 
| To get to the prize (Get to the prize)
 | 
| You can get to the prize, yeah, woo yeah
 | 
| It’s just a hobby that I picked up in the lobby
 | 
| Word up, everything is real
 | 
| Yeah, Chef, Faith, yeah, let’s go
 | 
| This is that meanness, it’s that raw, for real
 | 
| Love, Wu-Tang forever, and ever, and ever |
