Everything |
| She was only 15 in love with bad R&B |
| She had to have vision cause she saw the star in me |
| Encouraged me to write about the drama in my life |
| To most I seemed strange like something wasn’t right |
| I used to fall a victim to the lunchroom comedians |
| Something like an outcast, started smoking weed and then… |
| I sort of fell in to my own |
| Kind of felt at home when behind a microphone |
| But on the busride home, that didn’t mean a thing |
| Harassed by thugs, on the corners they would hang |
| I got banged on, I got beat down |
| Carrying the golf club, walking up the street now |
| They respect me, they call me crazy |
| At least I’m not getting punk’d out on the Daily |
| And when I look back, I wouldn’t change a thing you know |
| Why d’you think I found this trip, I’m speakin to yo’all |
| I’ll take everything… |
| (Your hopes and your dreams and your hate and your lies) |
| Umm… ummm… ummm… in this life… I’ll join everyone… |
| (From the old and the wise to the young as they fly… fly… fly… fly…) |
| When I die… |
| God is love, then Hatin' is Satan |
| This anti-patience has got me sittin here waitin |
| For the day when it’s ok to love |
| When black men won’t pretend they’re thugs |
| When teachers and doctors are treated like celebrities |
| You could get a job even if you got a felony |
| Check out my melody, let’s live in harmony |
| We’re in this together, no man has a conomy |
| No man is an island, immune to the violence |
| This rap race is no place to raise a child in |
| What’s wrong with smiling? |
| What’s wrong with peace? |
| What’s wrong is squashing people before they label you deceased? |
| Swallow your pride before you choke on your issues |
| I know you got family and folks that’ll miss you |
| So don’t misuse this gift you’ve been given |
| This life’s but a dream, you’re blessed to be livin |
| I’ll take everything… |
| (Your hopes and your dreams and your hate and your lies… lies… lies… lies) |
| Umm… ummm… ummm… in this life… I’ll join everything… |
| (From the old and the wise to the young as they fly… as they fly… fly… |
| fly…) |
| When I die… |
| Basically man, I’m just a dude that tries to do right. |
| You know, I try to make my… my tomorrows better than my yesterdays. |
| Without… wothout hurting anyone else in the process. |
| Cus if you leave the world a better place than it was when you got here |
| Then we all win… we all win! |
| That is birth and is death but the space in between |
| Is where the journey takes place and you give it all meaning |
| It’s waitin on us all. |
| There’s no need to pretend |
| No freedom in the feeling where you’re fearin the end |
| All good things come to it. |
| Walk, don’t run to it |
| Times you want to end it all yourself — don’t do it. |
| Be original, be different |
| Be the one that stands up and shuts this system! |
| I’ll take everything… |
| (Your hopes and your dreams and your hate and your lies… lies… lies… lies) |
| Umm… ummm… ummm… in this life… |
| I’ll join everyone… |
| (From the old and the wise to the young as they fly… as they fly… fly… |
| fly…) |
| When I die… |
| I’ll take everything… |
| Umm… ummm… ummm… in this life… |
| I’ll join everything… |
| Cause… old… men… die… |
