Lyrics

[Verse 1: Khary] I don't know how to dance, uh Momma told me pull my pants up So my style is kinda random You don't know my life, you don't know my life I ain't have the newest Jordans We- we couldn't afford them When you're the youngest of five kids, uh You got to sacrifice, you got to sacrifice Used to want to be the man Get an ovation when I stand 'Til I realized I was walking like you Got to make my own footprints in the sand Had me fucked up like Diddy and Da Band, identity crisis An overly nice kid, discovered the vices The liquor provided, the sex I hide in I've changed so much, so my memories priceless Who am I? [Interlude 1: Khary] Being in my twenties I've kinda treated liquor As a way to free me of my insecurities As though there's a better me I can only reach when I'm intoxicated But that's not true I control who I am [Chorus: Khary] You can take me to the water But I'll die if I drink Gotta find my soul Gotta find a place to think What is me, if I'm you? What is black, if I'm blue? There's a kink in the system Gonna find my way through Where I go? [Verse 2: Khary] I don't believe in God, but I think it's pretty obvious There's a higher being inside of us In every living thing, in every living thing Fuck who you try to make me You can pray if you wanna save me If your force-feed your Bible What does it really mean? What does it really mean? I mean, cancer's real, I mean, cancer kills I don't really care if I don't make it to sixty If Heaven's there, you think God's against me? If our President can fuck Lewinsky We're all human, we're all doomed, and No one's perfect, dreams are lucid I just try to be the best I can So when I die I'm not just pollution On this fragile Earth [Interlude 2: Khary] I don't really follow any gods or religions Though I've always believed In a connection between all life forms But if there is a God I highly doubt that I'd be faulted For not reading a book Written by the hands of men [Chorus: Khary] You can take me to the water But I'll die if I drink Gotta find my soul Gotta find a place to think What is me, if I'm you? What is black, if I'm blue? There's a kink in the system Gonna find my way through [Post-Chorus] Where I go? Where I go? Getting high when I'm low Just a flake in the snow Where I go? Where I go? Getting high when I'm low Just a flake in the snow [Outro: Khary] I hope I'm not being too preachy about not being preachy? It just, hehe, it comes out that way sometimes I live a second life in my head But lately, I've just been tryna put the real one in perspective You see, my mother turns sixty this year A number that she'll wear so well And although she didn't live a perfect life She's one of the most beautiful souls that I know She believes in God But she's never pressured me to do anything Other than live a life of Values and purpose Because that's all you really need So fuck all that other bullshit And what they want you to think We all have to find our own way to the light And that light is not always in the shadow of others' thoughts And often involves some bad decisions But those decisions don't define you Just live
