Press Play.
14 second mark:
Was born invincible,incredible, infallible
and kept laughs coming like jimmy fallon do
and supremely unflappable too
– but now I get flapped
like the wings of the gulls do
Back in the day things were never dull
and my problems were strictly math-e-matical
A man has 3 times 2 apples and gives 5 away
and the remainder kept the doctor away
Life made your spirit soar every single day
The spirit was contagious and kept all the kids at play
Excitement -was never an issue either way
hey it’s back to school busting out new pencil boxes day
Instinctive – There was a guide in each of us
Cruising on autopilot and nobody was reaching us
Used to fall down and get up all damn day
and didn’t get play out of it like D-Wade
you’d just get up and dust off your chin
never even think of missing the next thing
the next game, the next eats, the next care
driving breakneck speeds without a rearview mirror
Now this car is sputtering and I’m not stuttering
you know this sh*t I’m uttering is the straight butter ‘n’
this is the new trajectory and it’s no tragedy
but nowadays I’m seein’ too many maladies
and not hearin’ near enough melodies
and man I sure could use a mill o’ deez
instrumentals -hell- just for my mentals!
to cool me off from this heat from my parentals
It’s like I’m in one of those questions
two trains headed in opposite directions
different speeds and on different tracks
Run for cover cos these are the facts
this looks like a possible collision
and there’s only one plausible solution
Walk like an Egyptian
into your own revolution
Used to be an open book
written doses- of proses I wrote
but now it’s come down to statuses and post-it notes
so I’m trying to turn
the direction of this story ‘n’
go back to the future
hit 88 in this delorean
get that righteousness all up in me
like Mayor Goldie Wilson of Hill Valley
Eye of the Tiger, I lost it Apollo
but come see me this time tomorrow
Done with just going through the motions
my magic potions’ll be causing a commotion
Gonna be unstoppable full josh n’
dreamin up things like Billy Ocean
The world was my sandbox and now it’s a sandtrap
they busted us now we bust BACK
cos we’re innocent and we’re still hellbent
on getting blissed out so don’t miss out
on what you can be
It keeps happening to me
All these screens you keep looking at
all these dreams keep slipping past
I’m declaring a war on everydamnthing
And I won’t stop till the fat lady sings
cos guess what I remembered
that I want to be remembered
and my voice won’t be heard
If I ever surrender
SO I’m turning back the clock
daylight savings
lighting my fires
straight blazing
Channeling
my inner child
Navigating
this river wild
I’m back fresh as ever
no additives, straight clever
give up? not now ‘n’ not never
The diamond in the rough
and diamonds are forever.
