The Pilgrim Lyrics


Woke up in the morning in a temple
Kinda lucky on my feet for it was central
So I walk across the village, saw a group of kids pillage
And I thought to myself I might be mentalYou see, pilgrims in the town, all seem to hold a frown
Say all they wanna be is diggy down
You know Speck thought he'd ask, but figured it's just a mask
This guy's on something else that's profoundI'm not the stool or the fool or the leader here to rule
Not the lover or the fighter who came here to duel
But I thought I looked into, but I walked into
So I can understand all the rules, cool?Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatWho's ever watched the world? That's my motto
Don't ever wanna play the head honcho day [Incomprehensible]
If you try to push I won't beat around the bush
Straight up, you're getting dissed on the prontoI say, life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise

And the kid you wanna be you can be thatIf I could, I'd solve the problems of the world that exist
If I could always chill, I would without resist
If you weren't so literal, brother, you might get it
Pack my bags, tambourines and jeans so don't sweat itLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatLife is like a puzzle not pieced yetAs the journey continues, I gain current instincts
I feel I know what they must be thinking, for instance
When they speak in riddles I'm left with the question
But won't stop arguments to kill attentionThey all got a sixth sense to read one another
So pilgrims seek refuge undercover
Where it's fly like birds, to live a lot is absurd
Try telling that to this kid named AnwarLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatI met him on tour, a week on for twenty four
He was born in the village, but left in ninety four
Now he's still got probs, don't know how to solve
I said, Anwar, I've been there beforeIn the light of understanding, I forgot it
Sometimes the boat shakes when you rock it
I told him we are like family, a part of humanity
Don't overdo and don't toss itLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatHe dug and moved on with his life
Cause he digs it gets real dark at night
Don't want a collar thats blue or a reflection of you
Just wants us to get his plightMyself I'd like the years just to take me away
It might leave a part of this world in dismay
But the village calls the pilgrim [Incomprehensible]
After all, I'm just one needle in the hayNow what I'm speaking in is symbolics
But you can call it what you want to call it
See all that I do is throw words and I hope that you caught it
Only got one arrow but I aim for two targetsLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be thatLife is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties with my pal, compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
You can be that, you can be that
