| I don’t wanna write this down
|
| I wanna tell you how I feel right now
|
| I don’t wanna take no time to write this down
|
| I wanna tell you how I feel right now, hey (World premiere)
|
| Tomorrow may never come
|
| For you or me, life is not promised
|
| Tomorrow may never show up
|
| For you and me, this life is not promised
|
| I ain’t no perfect man
|
| I’m trying to do, the best that I can
|
| With what it is I have
|
| I ain’t no perfect man
|
| I’m trying to do, the best that I can
|
| With what it is I have
|
| Put my heart and soul into this song
|
| I hope you feel me
|
| From where I am, to wherever you are
|
| I mean that sincerely
|
| Tomorrow may never come
|
| For you and me, life is not promised
|
| Tomorrow may never appear
|
| You better hold this very moment very close to you
|
| Very close to you, so close to you
|
| So close to you, don’t be afraid, just let it shine
|
| My Umi said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| My Abi said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| My Umi said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| My Abi said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| Sometimes I get discouraged
|
| I look around and, things are so weak
|
| People are so weak
|
| Sometimes, sometimes I feel like crying
|
| Sometimes my heart gets heavy
|
| Sometimes I just want to leave and fly away (Like a dove)
|
| Sometimes I don’t know what to do with myself
|
| Passion takes over me
|
| I feel like a man, going insane, losing my brain
|
| Trying to maintain, doing my thang
|
| Put my heart and soul into this y’all
|
| I hope you feel me where I am, to wherever you are
|
| Sometimes I don’t want to be bothered
|
| Sometimes I just want a quiet life, with
|
| Me and my babies, me and my lady
|
| Sometimes I don’t want to get into no war
|
| Sometimes I don’t wanna be a soldier
|
| Sometimes I just wanna be a man, but
|
| My Umi said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| My Abi said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| My Jiddo said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
|
| My elders said shine your light on the world
|
| Shine your light for the world to see
