Reaching Lyrics by Lavell Jones

SEARCHING...

2013

[Verse 1: Lavell Jones]
Some say life is like a rocky mountain
Well, to me it’s like an endless fountain
So I drink of success like water like everyday
I dream, I do, I believe, and I pray
But, I don’t think God can hear what I say, that’s what JB said just blow him away
So I’m blown away too, so we both are gone, but we both are strong, let’s go its time to move on
Work, work, work, work, harder than anybody’s ever seen you work, work, work, work
Don’t forget your roots boy what you learned, learned, learned learned
Better read your bible, boy you better go to church, man they be on my nerves
Man I swear I got bad nerves but they tryna’ get me what I deserve
And I do listen to y’all wise words, spread it back so why conserve
So I teach what I’ve learned
K. Dot feelin’ I just wanna be heard, so I grind so hard times that to the 3rd power
Concrete flower, word, be yourself not insecure

[Hook: Josh Brown, Zach Mauldin, Christian Charles, Xiang Gomez, Shawn B, & Johnny Rivers]
Better reach for the stars cause you know we can go
Better keep your eyes opened don’t miss out for the show
Better hurry up fast because we out on a roll
But hey you already know
(Reach for the stars cause you know you can go, can go)

[Verse 2: Lavell Jones]
He said who are you, to think you a star
That you could do big things, that I could go far
Cause I’ve been tryna’ live my dreams but things they seem so bizarre
Cause I’ve been grindin’ for a minute but they don’t know who I are
I ain’t large, ain’t around, I was up, then down, my luck, had drowned
I was down, and out
But I can reach for the stars, you say I can go, is that really real, is that from your soul
Better reach for the stars because you know you can go there
And they say you can’t blow there, if nobody else promote there
Wait, promote yourself, gotta do it for yourself
Gotta do, do your thing, cause nobody else help
Am I just talking to you? No I’m talking to myself
It’s like nobody else listen, not even myself
Gotta search real far, enlighten oneself, tell me, why is it so hard for one to like oneself?
But I will reach for the stars because I know I can go
And I will keep my eyes open I won’t miss out for my show
And I will hurry up fast I know we out on a roll, oh
But wait man I thought that you know, but you don’t, but you will, that’s for real

[Hook]
[Verse 3: Josh Brown]
Reach for the stars, make a wish
If I don’t know nothing, I know this
Don’t get lost in the abyss, got your shot, don’t you miss
This is for the kids, for the old, for the rich, for the poor
Don’t ignore what really could be yours
Heal the land, we’re the cure

[Outro]
Reach for the stars cause you know you can go, can go
