| I was a nigga in my younger days
|
| I even went through the phase as an angry ass black man
|
| I played the pan-african for a week
|
| Until I rocked up in Seattle when that racist shit ceased
|
| I met some sisters out in Mozambique, who asked me
|
| What part of africa was my fam tree
|
| It would have to be Réunion
|
| An Island on the coast that was conquered by the French a long time ago
|
| A true foe like I’m Francois
|
| I gotta stand by my blood like BLOOD
|
| Though I am not them
|
| I pretend to be me, every now and then
|
| Even though some days I wasn’t proud of kin?
|
| I was childish then, found a style again
|
| Lost my self trying to follow men
|
| Reading books to fill this hollow skin
|
| Couldn’t swim till they found me in the shallow end
|
| Used to win back when I didn’t know how to win
|
| And now I spend money, trying to get my smile grinning
|
| Grim living foul feeling?
|
| Not to sin, but religion isn’t in me anymore
|
| So the lord doesn’t care if I’m sore
|
| Sick of thinking what I’m here for
|
| Trying to be content with that, but fuck that
|
| I want my love back, my lust, my trust back
|
| And keep this freedom I don’t wanna rap
|
| I’m trying to be alive again
|
| Wanna feel like I can fly again
|
| They say the limit is the sky, but I’m sick of getting high
|
| I don’t want to have to die, just to feel like I’m alive
|
| I just wanna be I (I just wanna be)
|
| I wanna see me in your eyes again
|
| Put this love between your thighs wanna give another life
|
| I don’t want to have to die, (be)fore I get to feel alive
|
| I just wanna live me life. |
| (To the, to the)
|
| I was a painter in my last lifetime
|
| Now I write rhymes like I fight crime, living life blind
|
| Trying to find peace…
|
| This girl on my mind that can’t find me
|
| Watch Amelie
|
| Hoping that I’m going to be the one that she finds
|
| Can’t keep living life in rewind
|
| I used to fast on the hog, now I eat swine
|
| And can’t stop smoking (blunts)
|
| Although I keep trying
|
| In these times when the peace of mind is not a goal
|
| I be racing to it holding hope. |
| Rejecting change
|
| Because the pain feels realer than the pleasure
|
| Rocking sweaters when the weather’s sunny
|
| Funny fellow from the ghetto
|
| I watch so many foreign films, I feel foreign
|
| Every morning cooking four-course meals, like I’m starving
|
| Hardly say grace or say «thanks for another day»
|
| Even though I’m grateful I try to show it in other ways
|
| I used to give bums change, til I changed
|
| Kind of strange cause when I’m richer than I was when I gave
|
| Got a gang of friends that I don’t call or hang with
|
| Even though I know they on that same shit… aimless
|
| Shit, I must seem like I don’t dream at all
|
| My mom says that I should draw again
|
| But I don’t want to pen
|
| I just want to live, have kids, buy a crib like the old days
|
| Whatever happend to…
|
| Wanna feel like I can fly again
|
| They say the limit is the sky, but I’m sick of getting high
|
| I don’t want to have to die, just to feel like I’m alive
|
| I just wanna be I (I just wanna be)
|
| I wanna see me in your eyes again
|
| Put this love between your thighs wanna give another life
|
| I don’t want to have to die, (be)fore I get to feel alive again
|
| I just wanna live me life |
