[00:03.76]It’s all about the journey
[00:06.68]Leaving and returning
[00:09.29]Breaking off, float around
[00:12.22]Autumn leaves, you and me
[00:15.46]Our colors of the season
[00:17.55]That blend for good reason
[00:20.27]Break away, night and day
[00:23.30]Autumn leaves
[00:25.28](x2)
[00:47.33]
[00:47.75]It’s like I reached that point where many folk lives get froze
[00:50.05]Instead I’m busy living most of my childhood goals
[00:52.76]Never stagnant, forever I’ll strive for more
[00:55.69]This elevator’s barely above the bottom floor
[00:58.30]And every level is worthy of exploration
[01:01.12]Please know that I don’t do it for no fake ass admiration
[01:03.32]I do it for the challenge I refuse to be complacent
[01:06.03]‘Cause positive energy activates constant elevation
[01:08.96]Peace world
[01:10.53]Been busy weighing all my options
[01:11.78]Love to rip it forever but that would defy logic
[01:14.39]So before I’m done rockin’ I’ma start this nonprofit
[01:17.21]To pass on what I love, just because I can’t stop it
[01:20.24]Man you know me
[01:20.97]Transforming from a youngin’ to an OG
[01:24.00]And some day our new shit will be an oldie
[01:26.72]A true classic never dies at all son
[01:29.33]I’m learning how to smile in Autumn
[01:31.32]It's kinda awesome
[01:32.78]
[01:33.10]It’s all about the journey
[01:35.81]Leaving and returning
[01:38.74]Breaking off, float around
[01:41.56]Autumn leaves, you and me
[01:44.48]Our colors of the season
[01:47.20]That blend for good reason
[01:49.81]Break away, night and day
[01:53.05]Autumn leaves
[01:54.41]
[01:54.62]So many years paintin' our pain with these words
[01:56.61]Illustratin' our struggle through songs y'all might’ve heard
[01:59.32]If it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words
[02:02.14]Amount I’ve used sharing my struggle has been absurd
[02:04.76]See what I’m sayin'
[02:06.01]Graffiti art, Comm. D, & Print-makin'
[02:08.31]So many tools to choose 'bout give in to temptation
[02:11.03]My career’s duration spent in recording studios
[02:13.95]Meanwhile the art studio has been vacant
[02:16.67]Honestly it’s home to my first creation
[02:18.86]My very first love, it appears that she’s patient
[02:22.00]Still got it, guess it was layin' dormant inside of me
[02:25.13]Time to let it out and then hang it up in a gallery
[02:27.85]Maybe the next time that I hear from the Smithsonian
[02:30.67]It’ll be for my art they’ll be beggin’ for me to loan’ em one
[02:33.60]And that ain’t far fetched at all son
[02:36.42]When you’re learning how to smile in Autumn
[02:38.82]Kinda awesome
[02:40.07]
[02:40.60]It’s all about the journey
[02:42.89]Leaving and returning
[02:45.61]Breaking off, float around
[02:48.43]Autumn leaves, you and me
[02:54.18]Our colors of the season
[02:54.18]That blend for good reason
[02:56.90]Break away, night and day
[02:59.72]Autumn leaves
[03:01.28]
[03:01.70]Non-believers still doubting their fears I seem to ignore
[03:03.90]Been many places I’m plannin' on seeing some more
[03:07.35]Top of the list, the very place my people were born
[03:09.75]That’ll be bliss, plan to bring the queen I adore
[03:12.47]Might return to BK when I finish raising my family
[03:15.18]Enjoy the quiet life but kinda miss the insanity
[03:18.21]Difference is I can dip when the stress is compelling me
[03:20.93]And catch a flight anywhere when the spirits propelling me
[03:23.75]You ain’t telling me nada 'bout life being over
[03:26.05]Got youngins watching gettin' psyched 'bout getting older
[03:29.29]Wiser than I was and I’m freer than I been
[03:32.00]Got a lot of love, there’s no end to my ends
[03:34.72]Dream come true, then the next one begins
[03:37.44]A few fail through, overshadowed by my wins
[03:40.26]And I’m still hungry for more son
[03:43.29]Learning how to smile in Autumn
[03:45.69]Beyond awesome
[03:46.95]
[03:47.47]It’s all about the journey
[03:49.25]Leaving and returning
[03:52.80]Breaking off, float around
[03:55.41]Autumn leaves, you and me
[03:58.34]Our colors of the season
[04:00.84]That blend for good reason
[04:03.77]Break away, night and day
[04:06.49]Autumn leaves
