So Far, So Good

[Skillz]

Uh huh, yeah, uh, uh

Whoo!

It's beautiful music baby

Huh, your boy Skillz, right

My man Com from the Chi

Kweli from the BK side

Hip Hop to the day that we die

So far so good

with no endin in sight

Lookin back on all the places

I done been with this mic

Let my teachers tell it,

I was supposed to be a failure

Let me tell it,

I was supposed to be

on stage in Australia

Went from sittin on the curb

with no gear to flaunt

To havin gifts with the words,

I make 'em do what I want

And I'ma stay in the front,

it's easy to the kid

Y'all always in the back

like Jeezy adlibs

If you fail to prepare,

you preparin to fail

And it's hard to see a heaven

when you livin in hell

If you lookin at it different,

you'll see a way out

How you gon' see money?

You can't see your way

off your couch

If opportunity comes,

I'ma see what its bout

You can see it in my swag,

I done figured it out

If you see doubt,

I'm thinkin that y'all

better re-route

Cause I'ma walk these dogs

till Mike Vick get out

[Hook: Skillz]

I'm thinkin

I could take over the game,

maybe I could

They sayin I should change

and maybe I should

Baby girl I'd be with you

if I could

But I'm taking over the world

and it's so far so good

Uh, so far, uh, so good

Uh, so far, uh, so good

Uh, so far, uh, so good

Uh, so far so good!

[Common]

We've come so far,

there's so far to go

Vision of a mission,

it seem impossible

Precision of a Chicago street

apostle flow

Allowin me to go to places

only God would know

Travel the land,

witnessin the battles of man

Goin up stream

with paddle in hand

Young dreams to master a plan

So I could make enough

to hit my uncle Steve

if he asks for a grand

It's been a journey,

as far as universal laws

I'm the attorney,

had to learn me

Just to burn me up,

holler to the world

to turn me up

As the game change y'all,

I let my words re-up

It was written on the walls

that success is a process

No matter how hard I fall

I know it is some progress

Notches of the ladder

I climb,

holdin a bottle of wine

So many paths to take,

I'm followin mine

[Hook]

[Talib Kweli]

Yeah, Talib Kweli

stay in the zone,

I'm leavin 'em in a phase

By now, I'm kinda used

to leavin 'em so amazed

With my man Com-bred

and Skillz,

they know the ways

Call up Virginia Slim baby,

I've come a long way from

Hoppin the train

with Rubix and, now I'm

Hoppin the plane,

I'm seasoned like o'bay

Purer than cocaine

that's whiter than Colgate

My product harder

than narcotics,

I handled the whole way

Damn it I'm so straight,

why you worry how

my pocket looks?

Y'all just sound

like y'all got pocket books,

stop and look

As long as I rock it,

Brooklyn is represented right

This is where the sun

meet the high rise,

it ain't no end in sight

I'm gonna end it right here,

I'ma end the nightmares

That you have cause you sleepin

and you actin type

Scared, I wake up like years,

say my prayer like I should

And I've come so far

cause I'm so good
