Wisdom's crying in the streets tonight
Her voice echoes in the pale moonlight
She says stop chasing shadows stop the fight
What's silver to your soul what's gold to your sight
I asked the wind where the answers hide
It laughed said they're carved in the mountain’s side
But the mountain ain't talking it's keeping pride
So I dig through the dust where the truth resides
A fool dances where the fires burn
Won't listen won't watch won't even learn
But a wise man waits till the wheel can turn
Patience like water soft but firm
The crooked path whispers take the chance
It's gold plated promise don't advance
Integrity keeps you in the righteous stance
Not every song deserves your dance
Look to the stars they don't deceive
Plant what you want your roots to weave
Seek it find it hold it tight
Wisdom's brighter than the brightest light
Understanding walks the narrow height
Living righteous makes your burden light
Eyes wide open in the dead of the night
The world throws shadows but I crave the light
My heart's a fortress with a fragile door
Each thought a soldier in a quiet war
I hear whispers some sweet some foul
Gotta filter the truth from the wolves that howl
Brick by brick I build my mind
A castle of wisdom where the wise unwind
The tongue's a fire it sparks and burns
A gentle word heals a cruel one turns
Every sentence a seed you sow
Will it bring life or let weeds grow
I've seen hearts crumble from careless talk
Words like stones on a fragile walk
Speak with love hold back the knife
Your voice can give or take a life
So think twice let wisdom flow
Plant the seeds that help us grow
Guard the gates don't let em in
What you let inside shapes the skin
Guard the gates keep em strong
The words you speak will echo long
Sweat drips clock ticks no time for delay
Lazy hands make poverty that's what they say
Ants hustle in the summer stacking for the cold
Wisdom whispers softly but the truth is bold
A sluggard dreams while the diligent sow
Patience builds a kingdom but it grows slow
Iron sharpens iron let the sparks ignite
Discipline’s a battle but the end feels right
Better a little earned with peace in your hands
Than riches gained from broken plans
Fools chase the wind but the wise plant roots
Each effort’s a seed watch it bear sweet fruits
Don't envy the cheater their house won't stand
Build on the rock not on sinking sand
Grind it out don't stop keep your eyes ahead
Discipline's the crown on the worker's head
Step by step through the heat through the rubble
No short cuts here just the wisdom hustle
