| [00:10.60] | I was a nigga in my younger days |
| [00:12.30] | I even went through the phase as an angry ass black man |
| [00:15.51] | I played the pan-african for a week |
| [00:17.52] | Until I rocked up in Seattle when that racist shit ceased |
| [00:20.34] | I met some sisters out in Mozambique, who asked me |
| [00:23.43] | What part of Africa was my fam tree |
| [00:25.18] | It would have to be Réunion. An Island on the coast |
| [00:27.84] | That was conquered by the French a long time ago |
| [00:30.40] | A true foe like I'm Francois cam shot |
| [00:32.60] | I gotta stand by my blood like blood |
| [00:34.58] | Though I am not them |
| [00:35.89] | I pretend to be me, every now and then |
| [00:38.21] | Even though some days I wasn't proud of kin |
| [00:40.77] | I was childish then, found a style again |
| [00:42.81] | Lost myself trying to follow men |
| [00:44.64] | Reading books to fill this hollow skin |
| [00:46.10] | Couldn't swim till they found me on the shallow end |
| [00:48.50] | Used to win back when I didn't know how to win |
| [00:51.14] | And now I spend money, trying to get my smile grinning |
| [00:53.81] | Grim living foul feeling thinner than I am now |
| [00:56.18] | And that's a sin, but religion isn't in me anymore |
| [00:58.56] | So the Lord doesn't care if I'm sore |
| [01:01.28] | Cause I'm bored |
| [01:02.11] | Sick of thinking what I'm here for |
| [01:03.50] | I'm not sure? |
| [01:04.41] | I'm trying to be content with that, but fuck that |
| [01:06.69] | I want my love back, my lust, my trust back |
| [01:08.98] | And keep this freedom I don't wanna rap |
| [01:11.05] | I'm trying to be... |
| [01:11.75] | |
| [01:12.01] | Alive again |
| [01:12.59] | Wanna feel like I can fly again |
| [01:14.10] | They say the limit is the sky, but I'm sick of getting high |
| [01:17.00] | I don't want to have to die, just to feel like I'm alive |
| [01:19.46] | I just wanna be I (I just wanna be) |
| [01:21.94] | I wanna see me in your eyes again |
| [01:23.82] | Put this love between your thighs wanna give another life |
| [01:26.85] | I don't want to have to die, (be)fore I get to feel alive |
| [01:29.12] | I just wanna live my life. (To the, to the) |
| [01:32.02] | |
| [01:32.57] | I am only one, one, one, one |
| [01:38.37] | We are always one, one, one |
| [01:42.55] | Look up to the sun, sun, sun, sun |
| [01:48.06] | See that we are always one, one, one |
| [01:52.27] | |
| [01:52.97] | I was a painter in my last lifetime |
| [01:54.23] | Now I write rhymes like I fight crime, living life blind |
| [01:57.52] | Trying to find peace... |
| [01:58.67] | With this girl on my mind that can't find me |
| [02:01.26] | Watching Amelie hoping I'mma be the one that she finds |
| [02:04.63] | Can't keep living life in rewind |
| [02:06.30] | I used to fast on the hog, now I eat swine |
| [02:09.04] | And can't stop smoking (blunts), though I keep trying |
| [02:11.63] | In these times when the peace of mind is not a goal |
| [02:14.34] | It's a grave |
| [02:15.31] | I be racing to it holding hope. Rejecting change |
| [02:17.71] | Cause the pain feels realer than the pleasure |
| [02:19.91] | Rocking sweaters when the weather's sunny |
| [02:21.53] | Funny fellow from the yellow |
| [02:22.78] | But I watch so many foreign films, I feel foreign |
| [02:25.34] | Every morning cooking full course meals, like I'm starving |
| [02:28.00] | Hardly say grace or say "thanks for another day" |
| [02:30.49] | Even though I'm grateful I try to show it in other ways |
| [02:32.94] | I used to give bums change, till I changed |
| [02:35.63] | Kind of strange cause when I'm richer than I was when I gave |
| [02:38.24] | Got a gang of friends that I don't call or hang with |
| [02:40.91] | Even though I know they on that same shit... aimless |
| [02:43.57] | Shit, I must seem like I don't dream at all |
| [02:45.87] | My mom says that I should draw again |
| [02:47.62] | But I don't want a pen |
| [02:49.01] | I just want to live, have kids, buy a crib like the old days |
| [02:52.19] | Whatever happened to those days |
| [02:54.08] | |
| [02:54.36] | Alive again |
| [02:54.78] | Wanna feel like I can fly again |
| [02:56.01] | They say the limit is the sky, but I'm sick of getting high |
| [02:59.22] | I don't want to have to die, just to feel like I'm alive |
| [03:01.65] | I just wanna be I (I just wanna be) |
| [03:03.77] | I wanna see me in your eyes again |
| [03:05.78] | Put this love between your thighs wanna give another life |
| [03:08.63] | I don't want to have to die, (be)fore I get to feel alive |
