lyrics

I got so much, so much trouble on my mind
From being tired of working, tired of hurting
Often cannot take it anymore
Iʼm sick of going ʻround and around
The people check my ß ow, but what the hell for?
Nothing seems to make sense anymore
Trying to make music with common sense
For common people
Not trying to be equal, but trying to surpass
Wearing on my poor soul/ Will my mind last?
But in the life of the mind
Standing behind a rhyme is reason
And thatʼs you/I serenade/ Songs been played
Lessons been taught/ Iʼm scribbling my thoughts
Like kissing a ß ower blowing in the wind
Oh, the poetry is like showing me new ways to live
Hereʼs the gift I give
Itʼs like milk from your lips with the sunrise/ Iʼm dribbling
Making way/Iʼm delivering a better way
Chorus
Itʼs like the reason that Iʼm living/ Hereʼs the gift Iʼm giving
Musically bring it down to a clap/ Then right back
Unorthodox to the mind that fails to comprehend
The way I feel about these reasons for these breaths
Stroll through the valley of death
Just to reach the other side
ʻCause on the other side is the source of my power
As sure as I try to maintain this
Maintain a tuned mind
For what keeps my head above the clouds
Iʼm like little girl, little girl, donʼt you run away
Iʼm like listen, listen to what Iʼm gonna say
Iʼm like “ooh” and ainʼt nobody/ Iʼm make the sacriÞ ce
Iʼm doing what I must to make this life right/ Hold tight
Talking to you makes it sensible to me
Lord knows I try to keep my head free
Itʼs like keeping me from doing wrong
The reason for my existence I serenade in a song
Chorus
You see, the man became simple
When the man became calm
The man had a reason when protecting you from harm
The man dedicated his life and love to his beautiful seed
This is our scene/ You and I weʼre writing the script
Weʼre writing our soundtrack
Iʼve found that something special in my own heartbeat
That keeps me going
You know weʼre going to make it all better, you see
Chorus
