Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here Probably not for long, I they'll let me stay Now I found my swagger, I found my sway I found my flow and I can all day
I was born a dream, part curse, part grace Gain status over soul was the deal that was This status gave me comfort, and it me space But it didn't give me I'd need to handle all the hate To deal with those who've knocked me since I was a babe As I'd try try fail, they'd celebrate They'd do it out of spite or just jealous rage Or 'cause I had the guts to seek some and live my faith
malign my character and they'd say those thangs They even have the guts to say it to my face What I want to tell 'em now is a brand new day I ignore the hits and I won't look the other way So ya better think deeper, what you say 'Cause you come at me again, it could be last day Can't say you weren't on blast before Judgement Day Will you elevate or your soul be laid to waste
Will you elevate or your soul be laid to waste (Repeat)
Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway But probably not for long, I doubt they'll let me Now I found my swagger, I found my sway I my flow and I can rhyme all day
headed west to Hollywood, to get as far away From the soulless of being in which I was raised By those club pricks, thought they had it made Uptight and full of judgement and bigoted hate So blinded patriotic to how getting played By Mr. Uncle Sam, the ole USA How the military's run by those who run the Along Hollywood and most the global corporate state
They'd say they Christian, though love seemed far away So sure they had it right, so set in their Just hint their life might be a lie they get Deep down I think they there is a better way The mindset's to everyone in different ways if you're taught the opposite, it's kind of the same And when it's taught certitude to kids, it's hard to shape That mean, petty mindset haunts me today
That mean, petty mindset still me today
Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway Probably not for long, I doubt they'll let me Now that I found my swagger, I found my I found my and I can rhyme all day
We all come fortune, most come for fame come seeking fun, some have some things to say But this town can beat you down and turn your love to Have you flashin' back to that from which you ran You got to keep on working, labor through pain When lashin' out, fumblin', stumblin' round the maze You got to it all and learn to love the pain Fight through the 'n jeers to make your brand new day
Fight through the sneers 'n jeers to make brand new day
Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I my swagger, I've found my sway I found my and I can rhyme all day (Repeat)
