Beautiful - Big K.R.I.T., Outasight, Talib Kweli

«I was diagnosed with leukemiam, May 2006, right before my 15th birthday

It made me stronger, and made me who I am today»

«In May of 2010, at age 22, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma»

«At 42, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2010»

«I am a musician, this is the first time I’ve been in a studio without my horn

Last year I was diagnosed with colon cancer, but, it’s in remission

Next year, my 75th birthday, I want to be here with my horn»

No matter what the obstacle is, we fight through it

If surviving’s only half the battle, we won’t lose it

So have faith that better days are on the way

I lend my hand to you, whenever you need me I’ll stay

I understand sometimes the world is type cloudy

But like a plane with so much to gain, we fly out it

Determination, dedication till the end

I’m there every step of the way until we win

cause I believe in prayer in God Almighty

Get them burdens off your shoulders, send them to the highest

Yeah, we can beat it, overcome the lows

Being positive is key, you believe and it shows

I spread awareness, be mindful of your health

Be here for one another so you never by yourself

One step at a time, one time for the cause

I rep it for the world, I rap it for us all

Don’t run away from who you are

Life’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (life is beautiful)

Pick yourself back on up

Life’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (life is beautiful)

This the highway of life, we stay 'driven'

Then at some point, you arrive at a decision

We flying high, we weather any condition

We doing more than surviving because we living

The music feel good, yes sir it’ll satisfy you

like a meal would, real good when it’s going down

It’s the flavor that you savor when you wait

It tastes great, compliments to the chef, he got taste

Clean your plate, play the music in front of a glass of water

Take a stale picture, see the crystals forming

The horns make me feel victorious, the keys make me feel glorious

The drums make me feel like a warrior

The track feel 'BIG', Notorious

Do it for the people feeling trapped in the corridor

Nobody know what you’re going through in a day

But don’t let yesterday ruin today, and they say

Uh, yo, they say it’s all for the money, but I don’t wan' believe it

I’m a man of my word, so whatever you been hearing is the truth

Flatline, polygraph, that’s me

We could all use a 'break', spare of Apache

Catch me crossing items off my bucket list

cause life is good as you want it to get

I paint a different portrait with any color I find

The canvas is the world, and the brush is my mind

I don’t mind stepping out my comfort zone

I think the greatest fear is the one of the unknown

But if you afraid of living and you afraid of death

Then I’m afraid you’ll never take a step to the left

or the right direction, tonight’s confession

I used to be scared of my own reflection

and what would really happen if I fought that vision

But the matter all along, if it’s not good, it’s gone

Life is beautiful

Don’t run away from who you are, no

«The journey to recovery has been long and full of challenges and uncertainties

But today I’m healthy and stronger than ever

Life is beautiful»
