lyrics

You ever wish you could fast forward to another scene?
I’m startin’ to get a sinking feeling like a submarine
Life is a riddle I don’t overstand and every day I only manage
Finding out another thing it doesn’t mean
Maybe the answer’s somewhere in between
They said “Baby, the answer’s something you can only see when you give up the search”
I said “That’s fine,” yet I remind them I been shinin’ more than gold
But can’t afford the toll to pay my dues, for what it’s worth
Maybe the reason is beyond my grasp, they said
“Baby, the reason has a way of revealing when you ain’t lookin’ for it”
I’m lookin’ forward to the day that I can live
I mean, it’s hard enough, I didn’t know I’d have to give a book report
I guess I brought it on myself, I chose the rapper life
Get rich or die? I think I might have chose the afterlife
Back to reality like Back to Life by Soul II Soul
I’m ready, yo, just tell me when to go, it’s like a traffic light
Light as a rock, I mean the classic Lyte
I’m high above a sucker like a satellite and plus I never pass the mic
Every time I fell I made a promise to myself it wouldn’t happen twice
I ain’t gotta take it like some bad advice
And that’s despite the fact I know the odds are weighted
But I swore to God that I was gonna make it like a sacrifice
‘Til I’m above the clouds, I make the people yell so fuckin’ loud
I couldn’t hear myself above the crowd…
