Also known as The Zephyr’s Endeavor: This song is about diversity. The first verse took a whole new meaning after 9/11. It was also the first song I ever recorded in a professional studio and was the last song on my first album. WRK is based on a 500 word essay about the Sneeches. The local newspaper held a contest for Dr. Seuss’ birthday. I ended up winning first place and got my rhyming essay published in the paper. I love this song because its message of Diversity is endless and eternal. When I decided to bring out some of the old beats, this beat definitely had to be used again; in fact I recomposed it by ear before I recorded it this time around.
lyrics
Living this life isn’t all that is seems to be
we have too much haters, messing up the scenery
to get free, people find that greenery - but not me
instead I stay clean, like god intends it to be
lonely, so I stand on my own plan
I’m my own man, I’ll bounce back like a rubber band
if you hold me in your hand you can understand
I stay productive and I do all that I can
I don’t really care what anyone thinks
because I’ll be learning the truth - when y’all be having drinks
keeping the good word in my heart and all
when I fall you rise, you’ll see - I’m an outlaw
I might be last, I might be left when your taken
I’ll be thankful I can cherish my last breath no mistaken
I’m a warrior, armor of god on my side
this is for all the tears, and all the times I cried
we live life without a clue in this world
now everything is lost for every boy and girl
image is what we see surrounding our children
it all depends on the foundation of our building
will you accept the brutal truth… or reject it like those?
Be an immoral fool or will you be a wolf in sheep’s clothes
now if its life? If its death? Tell me who really knows
who really knows? Keep going….don’t stop keep flowing until you drop
when it comes to difference, we’re ignorant and blind
humans must come to learn what’s on the inside
when I left California, I lost a lot of friends
I know diversity and several social blends
without the colors of the rainbow it would be no fun
how good could the moon be without the sun
you cant have balance without both of them
when one starts to fade the other will dim
balance is found starting with yourself
inside of me is the future of diverse health
let me be the zephyr spreading the flames
keep the dream alive and stop playing games
at first happiness was hard to find
to make new friends - you must be color blind
that my friends, is the secret to success
open minded understandings are the best to express
When you’re prejudice you can lose your life
when you use racial slurs its like using a knife
stabbing and stabbing as blood pours out
look it’s the same color red beyond a doubt
does it really matter where the blood is from?
I too was ignorant, I too was young and dumb
but now I know of my fate and destiny
make a difference for the youth, forever possibly
Will you accept the brutal truth… Or reject it like those?
Be an immoral fool or will you be A wolf in sheep’s clothes
Now if its life? If its death? Tell me who really knows … Who really knows?
if I get the chance to do all I can
I promise to help others know themselves and understand
diversity is god’s way, to help us know life
what I’ll do for love is be a living sacrifice
let me use a quote as I know say
I live by this motto for life’s diverse way
I’m never ignorant getting goals accomplished
until I reach the world I’m a keep my promise
unity wont come, there wont be complete peace
I’ll still write my dreams and try my best to touch the streets
reach all I can though I’m only one man
in this vision I had, I was given this plan
now I understand what to do to survive
when I fall of this earth I want to be alive
I don’t want to live a normal life
I’m going to die one day but now I live for Christ
Will you accept the brutal truth… Or reject it like those?
Be an immoral fool or will you be A wolf in sheep’s clothes
Now if its life? If its death? Tell me who really knows … Who really knows?
