Course Correction Lyrics

So, how do we get from where we're at to where we want to go

You know, the analogy is given a plane taking off from Los Angeles heading to New York

Well, once it gets into the air, immediately it's off of its course, its perfect flight path

It has a perfect path, but it's constantly making adjustments and corrections

So, as it travels, it actually gets.. first my mother lost her father than my father

Lost his mother and than I lost my father than his father now my mother

Sick with multiple sclerosis, feeling hopeless, I'm emotionless

Life is moving faster than a flash, but I feel motionless

I fumbled all the bags, so now I'm back to living check to check

Clocking in at Lowes, is not a goal, I need to course correct

My music resurrected me, was risen from the ashes

I blew through the first one, hope I'm worth a second chance at this

Granny mind slipping, her dementia makes us perfect strangers

Mighty is the Lord, mind morphing like a Power Ranger

Boy meets world, and this life of crime was my Topanga

First gift she gave me was the grief and a loaded banger

Stepping with my weapon, living reckless, I was pessimistic

Then I had my son, I kept my gun, but I was optimistic

Not afraid to die, but terrified of being a statistic

Let's be realistic, being broke is not the worst

But if you comfortable than lose it all, then you feel that you're cursed

But what's worse is when your people start to fade out like this verse

Small corrections to keep us on the path, to make sure that we do land where we want to land

Is what we need

I find those things, those corrections, can happen in a couple of ways

One, as I walk out, I say to myself, how did that go

What went well

What could I have improved

Where do I need to change

And another important aspect of that is getting some instrumentation feedback from those around me

So I speak out what I'm seeking till I see what I have said

Put my faith in certain people ended up being misled

Now they dread like those lock that sit atop of rappers heads

Cause they know that when they see me that a word cannot be said

I've been slept on, stepped on, cast out, forgotten

When the love don't match they smile, don't turn around because they plotting

So quick to stab you in your back

Don't think they ain't been watching, it's misleading

Cause when they around you they be oh so charming

Then the switch up so alarming that your senses can't take heed

Now they posting, smoking on they ops on all they twitter feeds

And the only thing that fueled them was the jealousy and greed

Then they post up with your family, asking them what they need

So I'm cautious every step I take

Pray that if I die before I wake, that it wasn't from the venom of these snakes

Before I dip I tap the pedal twice, just to check the brakes

For goodness sakes, when it's done it's done, no need to clean the slate

This is Course Correction 101 and I'm the new professor

Grab your study guide and welcome to my lecture

Other people in the meeting, sales people, based on the kind of meeting it is

getting their feedback, helping you make those small adjustments

to help you get to that final destination
