| I believe when someone passes away | |
| Either a star is born, energy so pure | |
| That it creates new worlds | |
| Or as the soul releases | |
| Shatters into pieces | |
| Becoming free flowing thoughts | |
| For my mental thesis | |
| Maybe we just don't understand | |
| The spirits that still walk the land | |
| Or whatever the case | |
| I believe that we all still remain | |
| To share the same space | |
| So dad, i know you're listenin' | |
| How you been? | |
| Oh, i'm doin' fine, just passin' time | |
| Submerged in sin sometimes i take a bath | |
| And just get all dirty again | |
| I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in | |
| Into that place you've been | |
| No, i'm not tryin' to rush anything | |
| I just wanna visit you because i miss you | |
| So what you tryin' to say? | |
| My imagination been wild since i been a child | |
| And since you're laughin' then | |
| I take it that good things are happenin' | |
| The day i learned you were gone | |
| A new star was born | |
| Distant voices fill my mind | |
| Said look up in the sky | |
| And when i did there you were | |
| Well, i'm sure you already know this | |
| I'm a big pop star | |
| And my pops is a star (ha ha) | |
| No, you really are | |
| Sometimes i feel like an anus | |
| I kinda made you a little famous | |
| Always spillin' my guts | |
| Explainin' to these people who think i'm nuts | |
| Told them how you and moms knuckled up | |
| My excuse for being such a disrupt | |
| Yeah, they sure did | |
| They called you an abusive drunk | |
| Sorry, i didn't realize the media would run with it | |
| But now i know and sometimes i try to have fun with it | |
| The day i learned you were gone | |
| A new star was born | |
| Distant voices fill my mind | |
| Said look up in the sky | |
| And when i did there you were | |
| What did you say you wish to be free | |
| Been here all this time because of me | |
| And on august 16, 2001 | |
| Anything that i wish to release | |
| Release? i see. | |
| First of all i give you my thanks for preparing me | |
| To be open and free | |
| I release my mind releasin' my soul | |
| Release the courage to break the mold | |
| Release my record 20 million sold | |
| Release my pops you're free to go | |
| Create a new galaxy, yes dad | |
| You'll still be right next to me | |
| The day i learned you were gone | |
| A new star was born | |
| Distant voices fill my mind | |
| Said look up in the sky | |
| And when i did there you were | |
| The day i learned you were gone | |
| A new star was born | |
| Distant voices fill my mind | |
| Said look up in the sky | |
| And when i did there you were |
