Listen, I'm older than my father when he had his daughter Had his shit in order, what that say about me moving forward? He never stood on the corners or sent packs over borders Had the Internet and life to make his self esteem smaller We got different drugs, new weeds for the lungs, molly on the tongues Opiates I loved, cough syrup got us stuck Coke getting stuffed, liquor getting drunk, trying to chase the rush Rabbit got the gun because the addict's not a plug I fell in love Inside my adolescence Anything to slow up all the thinking and to cure depression Used to walk around with my addiction Like a secret weapon searching for the lessons Thought that every substance had a message, and it did But by the time you found the answers, couldn't switch And you try to put it down, and every time you always slip Then you reaching out for help and everyone just tell you quit Wish they understood how vices in your life could take a grip I touch the sky just to feel alive Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine It's either keep burning bright or the light could die Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly Listen, I touch the sky just to feel alive Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine It's either keep burning bright or the light could die Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly Yeah, before you get your wings sometimes you got to die Metaphorically speaking that pain could brighten up your skies I'm the same age as Christ, for our sins he lost his life So who am I to claim it's too hard? His spirit part of mine I'm a true God, we born into this world they tell us lies Like this whole concept of time, like this race the finish line Way before the thoughts and language came through to crowd our minds There was truth within design, now it's time to realign I used to struggle much, think about my actions And just blame it on my father's touch Call it tough love with all them beatings I felt out of love Found myself leaning out of body, yeah, I found them drugs Used to just abuse them like the people all around me was Then I noticed something deep inside that made me quit it I won't be no analytic, I got reasons like a lyric And that earth, wind, and fire burn inside me just to get it So I'm taking full control, even remote I'm working with it I touch the sky just to feel alive Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine It's either keep burning bright or the light could die Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly Listen, I touch the sky just to feel alive Sometimes the moon cross the sun just to block the shine It's either keep burning bright or the light could die Sometimes a bird loses feathers when it learns to fly
