track DP has smartly combined with Seattle&#8217;s<strong> Jake One<\/strong> to produce the track and hooked into <strong>Aloe Blacc<\/strong> for the hooky-chorus.\u00a0 We love the above-the-morass verses, piano\/horn-blaze and everything about it.\u00a0 Check it out now (below some excerpted verses below), and go get <em><strong>Directors of Photography <\/strong><\/em><a

\/>\nEasy may come but it sure don\u2019t stay<br \/>\nTryin\u2019 to cope, boy I hope and I pray<br \/>\nShow me the way&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ride the wave like the world is a beach<br \/>\nLearn more I teach<br \/>\nI was raised by NWA and stayed CA<br \/>\nAll day, same story different briefcase&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve been through some pitfalls that knocked me down<br \/>\nMade it through close calls and lost some ground<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a hell of a price I pay<br \/>\nSomebody show me the way<br \/>\nSomebody show me the way&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On a planet in regression in a loft at the summit<br \/>\nAir is much clearer, catch me on the high road<br \/>\nSome fight to live, others settle for survival<br \/>\nIt\u2019s your world, you can write the line you live your life on<br \/>\nIt\u2019s heavy but you\u2019re strong just hold on until that light dawns&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe
