Lyrics

[Intro] What would I be if I lost The key to my pulse The beat of my drum The memory of my home I know you think you see me before your eyes But my mind is off in that sky I am not Here I am not HERE [Verse 1] Think of the days when I was younger My father knew it all Mama was like an angel, never caught her doing wrong Couldn't wait to be grown up, sleelpin late as I wanna Tooth Fairy and Santa, couldn't wait for them to show up Thought I could be a hero, Captain Planet never thought that I could be a zero When I was older, thought I could be a superstar That almost faded like the image of a shooting star So let me sing you my song Bury my soul in the words of a verse that will never end I tell my future to open the door I'm stepping in Hey father time stop dead beatin get your kid Enough to make a man religious, searchin that crystal ball for an image Wishing we would(wood) surface, but it's all in the finish Tomorrow's not promised But the future is ours, Ironic [Chorus] Where did he go - o Where is the man that I know I search for the pieces I damaged Love me or hate me I vanished I am not here, I am not here [Verse 2] The sun rise in the East, where the winters get cold And the guys wanna cheat, when the women get old You work your whole life, now recession got your wealth Outta retirement in Costco stocking shelves, ughhh Damn homey, in college you were the man homey What the fuck happened to you Huh, I gotta ball, gotta show like its half time Trying rise, trying peak before the flat line The beat of your heart is what keeps you from dying But what keeps you alive, are we living alive Yea, I know you thinkin you fly But I'm outta space where the stars shine brighter And I know I'll stay high for as long as I light up Now, the mirror showing what I nearly lost sight of This pilot got a very long flight up, goodbye [Chorus] [Verse 3] I try to budget between that life that I'm up in And the life that I covet Will I pay the credit bill, or buy the mic that I've wanted Who could show me the balance, who could help me to challenge What I know, I wonder will my talent ever to show Maybe I'll lose a few friends to my destiny Maybe I'll make amends with my enemies Maybe my job will finally get rid of me I ain't waitin till they decide (the side) I'm the dinner meat [Bridge] Momma please don't cry I promise you the sky I'll show you why you worked that 9 to 5 I'll make you proud It's not just all in vain I'll heal you of your pain So let me lead the way [Chorus]
