It’s all about the journey
Leaving and returning
Breaking off, float around
Autumn leaves, you and me
Our colors of the season
That blend for good reason
Break away, night and day
Autumn leaves
(x2)
It’s like I reached that point where many folk lives get froze
Instead I’m busy living most of my childhood goals
Never stagnant, forever I’ll strive for more
This elevator’s barely above the bottom floor
And every level is worthy of exploration
Please know that I don’t do it for no fake ass admiration
I do it for the challenge I refuse to be complacent
‘Cause positive energy activates constant elevation
Peace world
Been busy weighing all my options
Love to rip it forever but that would defy logic
So before I’m done rockin’ I’ma start this nonprofit
To pass on what I love, just because I can’t stop it
Man you know me
Transforming from a youngin’ to an OG
And some day our new **** will be an oldie
A true classic never dies at all son
I’m learning how to smile in Autumn
It's kinda awesome
It’s all about the journey
Leaving and returning
Breaking off, float around
Autumn leaves, you and me
Our colors of the season
That blend for good reason
Break away, night and day
Autumn leaves
So many years paintin' our pain with these words
Illustratin' our struggle through songs y'all might’ve heard
If it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words
Amount I’ve used sharing my struggle has been absurd
See what I’m sayin'
Graffiti art, Comm. D, & Print-makin'
So many tools to choose 'bout give in to temptation
My career’s duration spent in recording studios
Meanwhile the art studio has been vacant
Honestly it’s home to my first creation
My very first love, it appears that she’s patient
Still got it, guess it was layin' dormant inside of me
Time to let it out and then hang it up in a gallery
Maybe the next time that I hear from the Smithsonian
It’ll be for my art they’ll be beggin’ for me to loan’ em one
And that ain’t far fetched at all son
When you’re learning how to smile in Autumn
Kinda awesome
It’s all about the journey
Leaving and returning
Breaking off, float around
Autumn leaves, you and me
Our colors of the season
That blend for good reason
Break away, night and day
Autumn leaves
Non-believers still doubting their fears I seem to ignore
Been many places I’m plannin' on seeing some more
Top of the list, the very place my people were born
That’ll be bliss, plan to bring the queen I adore
Might return to BK when I finish raising my family
Enjoy the quiet life but kinda miss the insanity
Difference is I can dip when the stress is compelling me
And catch a flight anywhere when the spirits propelling me
You ain’t telling me nada 'bout life being over
Got youngins watching gettin' psyched 'bout getting older
Wiser than I was and I’m freer than I been
Got a lot of love, there’s no end to my ends
Dream come true, then the next one begins
A few fail through, overshadowed by my wins
And I’m still hungry for more son
Learning how to smile in Autumn
Beyond awesome
It’s all about the journey
Leaving and returning
Breaking off, float around
Autumn leaves, you and me
Our colors of the season
That blend for good reason
Break away, night and day
Autumn leaves
