So Far, So Good

Skillz


[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
