[00:25.46] It's ok to say when shit hurts
[00:27.12] Don't forget your dreams
[00:28.23] 'Cause they'll get you through this
[00:30.62] So called life they call living but I call it strange
[00:33.38] And I bet I'll do it
[00:35.40] 'Cause I'm on my way
[00:36.40] And strong enough that I can shake the pain Yeah
[00:37.99] Ayy, Mr Sunshine, Mr Rainstorm
[00:39.82] Meet me in the conference room we need to brainstorm
[00:42.24] Need some middle ground, need an even keel
[00:45.28] But you're at war picking sides give me fever chills
[00:47.95] Take 'em both like my flu shot broke
[00:49.84] I need the give and take to keep me out of that mope
[00:51.90] My head above water thoughts to those lost this week
[00:55.20] Call this tragedy say on repeat
[00:56.72] Like we can't shake shit
[00:58.09] I can't speak on it
[00:59.46] Fist to the sky but I can't beat on it
[01:01.72] Drink in my cup so I'm gon' sip on 'em
[01:03.61] Cam Newts probably pissed, you can't stiff arm him
[01:06.73] All these levels of these relative problems
[01:08.50] And benevolence is elegance for those who can solve 'em
[01:11.27] I'm feelin' pretty low like I'm stuck at the bottom
[01:12.96] But I know I'll rebound like the Bulls with Rodman
[01:15.54] I am, just exactly what I will be
[01:17.91] Just a guy who can rhyme and chop ill beats
[01:20.65] One day I'll recover from what ails me
[01:22.81] Til then I'm on that, fuck what the sales be
[01:24.98] My mama told me
[01:26.57] One day imma blow up big
[01:28.08] And imma be a king
[01:29.44] And my papa told me
[01:31.08] It's ok to say when shit hurts
[01:32.73] Don't forget your dreams
[01:33.75] 'Cause they'll get you through this
[01:35.87] So called life they call living but I call it strange
[01:38.42] And I bet I'll do it
[01:40.36] 'Cause I'm on my way
[01:41.65] And strong enough that I can shake the pain
[01:43.34] Yeah, they talk about death
[01:44.78] We try'na live life while their signal says left
[01:47.04] But they really going right
[01:48.69] But who cares they got nothing to improve upon
[01:50.62] Meanwhile we pass them, fast lane, Rubicon
[01:53.54] Uh, so let the shit storm rang in
[01:55.58] They try to dap us up but we just leave 'em hangin'
[01:58.06] Yeah, so let 'em catch up with the language
[02:00.14] They can talk shit but you know that we can manage
[02:02.33] Ergh, they say we tired of the metaphors
[02:04.99] They are only pissed that they never really ready for 'em
[02:07.86] Uh, so go ahead and get ready for 'em
[02:09.55] Pop another bottle 'cause you're gonna need a steady arm
[02:12.18] Uh, it's like we're livin' in a Tron game
[02:14.13] Lines are all blurred 'cause we sippin' on the Bombay
[02:16.82] Uh, John Stock versus LeBron James
[02:19.01] No competition when you factor in the time change
[02:21.34] Babe Ruth sucks, fuck what the books say
[02:23.76] I could strike him out with three pitches in an arm sling
[02:26.42] Yeah, and we can do anything
[02:28.43] Mama said it's true and I put that on everything
[02:30.73] My mama told me
[02:32.12] One day imma blow up big
[02:33.78] And imma be a king
[02:35.13] And my papa told me

[02:41.55] So called life they call living but I call it strange
[02:44.29] And I bet I'll do it
[02:46.24] 'Cause I'm on my way
[02:47.39] And strong enough that I can shake the pain
[02:49.28] We don't ask for the doors to close in this life
[02:51.28] So we hopin', they keep 'em open
[02:53.59] And if they shut those doors we smash the skylight
[02:56.01] Til it's broken, and smell the roses
[02:58.54] Need to take that time to find our own road
[03:00.77] So we focussed, on what's golden
[03:02.77] And our gold don't shine it's not from no mine
[03:05.67] So we're not just living for a token
