This track and Wisdom I were supposed to be one thing, but they were just too different and too long together so I split them into two. More Wisdoms are to follow.

lyrics

Textbook knowledge, I don't know what to believe,
History puts more stress on names than what got achieved,
Just another way that we as people justify greed,
Would you strive to make change if no one remembered your name?
(Maybe it ain't greed), maybe it's motivation,
(Time passes), inflation deflates weight of one's creation,
(I've got dreams of aviation), yeah but so did DaVinci,
Contributions he made to air travel were rather skimpy,
(Did he lay out a blueprint?) Did the Wright Brothers use it?
(Probably not) I'll stick to minimalist music,
(If Beethoven's played today) I needent be sane,
He wrote masterpieces deaf so who am I to complain,
About a mental fallacy or whatever you wanna call it,
(Ä first world problem), can't be that hard to solve it,
(An unreasonable request), well that's a possible commission,
Don't be haunted by my wisdom or my honest disposition,
Still I've got my boys behind me, squadron in position,
Listenin' to compositions from Nas: It Was Written,
Imagine smokin' weed on the block without cops harassin',
Imagine me movin' fast, enough for cash amassin',
I could make it in the game if I play now,
Is that a wise choice, is there a way out?
Life is a journey not a destination,
There's another pace ahead of you for every step you've taken,
And once you've reached the top of your staircase,
There's another flight of stairs right in front of your face,
You never saw it before, you thought you'd be free,
You thought you'd get to this last step and that's all you need,
But you were wrong, there's more,
You start to ask yourself why you're doing this for,
Success they say is hard to find, it's just these days I hardly mind,
I guess I'll get this stress up off my chest at yet another time.
