--Ak--
We’re ‘pose to be the light to the world,
But our torch went dim,
Now the chances we can pass this,
Aren’t much wider than slim,
Shady groves and the limbs,
Of our family trees,
That tend to bow in the breaks,
But break down in a breeze,
It’s elementary,
You don’t need a degree,
Unless you missin’ your third,
I got my eyes on the prize,
And my vision ain’t blurred,
That’s word,
To this sentence,
My repentance is served,
Ice cold,
Here’s a platter,
We’ll be skippin’ hors d'oeuvres,
Main course of sorts,
Spittin’ 5-star bars,
Buffets of fallen stars,
Afar from what we call,
And justice for us all,
We’re just left standin’,
Where they handed us the ball,
And said run,
Duckin’ the guns,
And redrums,
Loved ones,
Undone,
Victims of what we done,
The sickness we have become,
Wicked as they can come,
Division of number one,
Just a fraction of our sum….
--Hook--
This that HeartCore,
Do you want more?
Scream it from the bottom,
So the top can hear you roar.
That HeartCore,
Put your feet to the floor,
Stay standing,
And demandin’,
Keep it heart to the core.
This that HeartCore,
Do you want more?
Scream it from the bottom,
So the top can hear you roar.
That HeartCore,
Now put ya feet to the floor,
This is action with a passion
Tell me what you waitin for?
--Apogee--
And I remember what he said, she said,
And everything in between makin’ me beet red
We only live for ourselves and keep our hands tight
Walkin round all alone, we give a damn right?
Money, death and taxes, it's an axis
Of an artificial world who stand tall for the factless
But, I give it all I got
I'm givin amateurs a plan to just, take my spot
So give it up for the real, I'm talkin UP
To have our day in the sun, I'm talkin UV
And no respect for the weak, until week's end
I'll laugh it off like a joke and say we can
We may struggle just to make it to front lines
And all that oppose won't reign on our sunshine
We'll never know what this world will hold
But opportunities unfold just to bless our soul, you know
--Hook--
This is that HeartCore,
Do you want more?
Scream it from the bottom,
So the top can hear you roar.
That HeartCore,
Put your feet to the floor,
Stay standing,
And demandin’,
Keep it heart to the core.
This is that HeartCore,
Do you want more?
Scream it from the bottom,
So the top can hear you roar.
That HeartCore,
Now put ya feet to the floor,
This is action with a passion
Tell me what you waitin for?
--Ak--
We tried to give it to you,
But what’d you go and do with it,
You couldn’t hear it,
So the spirit never grew with it,
Frustrated,
We were almost through with it,
U.P. put it down,
Until we found somthin new in it…
--Apogee--
Cuz it ain't over, no, not by a long shot
And we about to go off now like an alarm clock
Shake the cobwebs off and let the dome rock
A picture for 1,000 words ain't worth a whole lot
--Ak--
We keep it heart to the core,
And uprise to the sky,
I could never fight the feeling,
Cuz I always wondered why,
We found zen in a pen,
And heaven in every line,
Find peace in these beats,
Connect mics to your mind...
One more time for your mind.
--Apogee--
Now let it sink in,
We always say in the least, what we been thinkin
Always stay true to yourself and remember
To love like we did on 11 of September
--Hook--
This is that HeartCore,
Do you want more?

And demandin’,
Keep it heart to the core.
This is that HeartCore,
Do you want more?
Scream it from the bottom,
So the top can hear you roar.
That HeartCore,
Now put ya feet to the floor,
This is action with a passion
Tell me what you waitin for?
