My Track in the Steemit Artists Music Compilation Volume 4 - The Way It Goes

---

Hello Steemians,

I really can't describe how steemit and dsound have been changing my life as of late. I feel really grateful to be on a platform that is revolutionizing the way content creators get paid. This song is off of my first Album Visions of a Better Life. I entered it into the steemit artist compilation put together by @soundlegion. This is a really awesome initiative and I feel blessed to be a part of it. I hope you enjoy, lyrics below.

Revelations, are like a sensation that takes over your mind, body and soul.
You lose control but gain awareness of the world around you.
Today I came to realize that for the most part we are in control of our lives,
even though we are subject to the laws of karma and reincarnation.
We re-awaken only to find ourselves right back where we started going full circle.
They say if you focus your chi you will be free and see the universe in all of its grandness.
But all I see is sadness and pain.
The Dalli Lama said he believes all suffering is caused by ignorance.
Well I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was.

Today is the beginning of the rest of my life
I thought twice about theories
Now I’m seeing clearly
Felt a little leery trying to walk this path
Snakes try to bite ya then slither back to the grass

Gotta to hone my craft and find niche
And see past the criticisms of theses idiot pricks
Life’s a gift yet we live by the gun
Kids mad young kill getting shot over funds

Just a child of the sun livin by the basics
yearning for the truth so few can barely face it
so many wasted years being complacent
seeing my peers caught up in the matrix

Few just take there gift and replace it
I’m trying to find that distant oasis
I’m a make it my main goal
To take hold of what I can’t control

I Gotta free my soul in a world so cold
It’s to he I owe that’s why I sing theses notes
I’m a go for broke till good lord take me away
And if I don’t I’ll just continue to stay and that’s the way it goes

[Chorus]
That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes

Gotta live your life whether wrong or right
Who’s supposed to choose if you win or lose

You might gain sight in the dawn of night
It’s far and few on theses avenues

Stay strong and fight live long and bright
Gotta learn your cues and know what to do

This world just might take control but you keep your soul
I supposed that’s the way it goes, it’s just the way it goes
[Chorus]

For a while I’ve been lost for words
Never really knowing when our first fight had occurred
It felt like a blur a strong premonition from a dream
Not really knowing what this premonition means

It seems the love boat on it’s approach
Didn’t see the struggle that hit us both
Throwing on my coat damn I hate goodbyes
But I’ll see you in two weeks girl don’t cry

Can’t get by got to make a change
This road been to long it time to switch lanes
I feel strained cause you wanna to give up on us
It’s real pain that I’ve been bottling up for months

Don’t know why we ended here
my love for you was so sincere
but it seemed our fears just took control
and now we walk down separate roads

and I hope you know you lost a friend
our broken hearts we’ll never mend
guess it doesn’t really matter in the end
Like a trend I won’t see you again and that’s the way it goes

[Chorus]
That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes
That’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes

Gotta live your life whether wrong or right
Who’s supposed to choose if you win or lose

You might gain sight in the dawn of night
It’s far and few on theses avenues

Stay strong and fight live long and bright
Gotta learn your cues and know what to do

This world just might take control but you keep your soul
I supposed that’s the way it goes, it’s just the way it goes
[Chorus]

Damn it’s been a hell of a year yet I’m still in health
but Miss Dawn went and killed herself
I guess she felt that she had no cared
Living in this world didn’t seem so fair

She bared the brunt of raising three seeds
Welfare couldn’t help with her needs
Enrolled in school to try and get a degree
But it was love that she wanted to see

So she left this place no more does she have to scrape
or have to take the pain of a heart breaks
it hard to fly away when your wings are clipped
It seems that this world is mean as shit

Even if you run from your problems today
You can’t give or throw your problems away
It’s just a part of the play this stage that we call life
And yes some say that we come twice

Maybe some day she will reach the light
In spite of what they teach is right
yea it takes it toll another soul trying to reach it goal
It gets cold walking down this road but that’s the way it goes
