60

[00:15.42] I don't know how to dance, uh
[00:17.20] Momma told me pull my pants up
[00:18.91] So my style is kinda random
[00:21.03] You don't know my life
[00:21.91] You don't know my life
[00:22.94] I ain't have the newest Jordans
[00:25.06] We couldn't afford them
[00:26.80] When you're the youngest of five kids
[00:28.53] You gotta sacrifice
[00:29.53] You gotta sacrifice
[00:30.66] Used to want to be the man
[00:31.93] Get an ovation when I stand
[00:33.56] 'Til I realized I was walking like you
[00:35.41] Gotta make my own footprints in the sand
[00:37.50] Had me fucked up like Diddy and Da Band
[00:39.26] Identity crisis
[00:40.39] An overly nice kid
[00:41.29] Discovered the vices
[00:42.26] The liquor provided
[00:43.15] The sex I hide in
[00:44.15] I've changed so much
[00:44.64] So my memories priceless
[00:45.84] Who am I?
[00:48.19] Being in my 20s
[00:49.84] I've kinda treated liquor as a way to free me of my insecurities
[00:53.62] As though there's a better me I can only reach when I'm intoxicated
[00:57.47] But that's not true
[00:58.93] I control who I am
[01:00.62] You can take me to the water
[01:02.35] But I'll die if I drink
[01:04.46] Gotta find my soul
[01:06.27] Gotta find a place to think
[01:08.09] What is me, if I'm you?
[01:09.89] What is black, if I'm blue?
[01:11.83] There's a kink in the system
[01:14.03] Gonna find my way through
[01:15.89] Where I go?
[01:18.68] I don't believe in God, but
[01:20.01] I think it's pretty obvious
[01:22.01] There's a higher being inside us
[01:23.76] And every living thing, and every living thing
[01:25.83] Fuck who you try to make me
[01:27.77] You can pray if you wanna save me
[01:29.43] If your force feed your Bible
[01:31.36] What does it really mean?
[01:32.35] What does it really mean?
[01:33.38] I mean cancer's real, I mean cancer kills
[01:35.27] I don't really care if I don't make it to 60
[01:37.27] If heaven's there you think God's against me?
[01:39.48] If our President can fuck Lewinsky
[01:41.27] We're all human
[01:42.23] We're all doomed then
[01:43.22] No one's perfect
[01:44.26] Dreams are lucid
[01:44.85] I just try to be the best I can
[01:46.99] So when I die I'm not just pollution
[01:48.56] On this fragile earth
[01:50.39] I don't really follow any Gods or religions
[01:53.62] Though I've always believed in a connection between all life forms
[01:56.89] But if there is a God
[01:58.44] I highly doubt that I'd be faulted for not reading a book
[02:01.79] Written by the hands of men
[02:03.35] You can take me to the water
[02:05.24] But I'll die if I drink
[02:07.38] Gotta find my soul
[02:08.98] Gotta find a place to think
[02:10.96] What is me, if I'm you?
[02:12.96] What is black, if I'm blue?
[02:14.97] There's a kink in the system
[02:16.66] Gonna find my way through
[02:18.66] Where I go? Where I go?
[02:22.32] Getting high when I'm low
[02:24.49] Just a flake in the snow
[02:26.13] Where I go? Where I go?
[02:30.16] Getting high when I'm low
[02:31.94] Just a flake in the snow
[02:35.38] I hope I'm not being too preachy about not being preachy
[02:39.14] It just comes out that way sometimes
[02:42.53] I live a second life in my head
[02:44.64] But lately, I've just been tryna put the real one in perspective
[02:47.61] You see, my mother turns 60 this year
[02:50.99] A number that she'll wear so well
[02:53.28] And although she didn't live a perfect life
[02:55.63] She's one of the most beautiful souls that I know
[02:58.23] She believes in God, but she's never pressured me to do anything
[03:02.02] Other than live a life of values and purpose
[03:04.61] Because that's all you really need
[03:06.79] So fuck all that other bullshit
[03:08.32] And what they want you to think
[03:10.04] We all have to find our own way to the light
[03:12.37] And that light is not always in the shadow of others' thoughts
[03:15.66] And often involves some bad decisions
[03:18.12] But those decisions don't define you
[03:20.82] Just live
