Madlib
99
Lately been eyeing how life play’s.
But I don't know what to say.
Except most still needa change.
Fuck your sinning way’s.
Ain’t ah believa of christ eitha.
Label me a heathen that's lucky he's breathing.
Cause I'm tired.
Dreaming.
Soon chasing this certain way to live.
Alway’s ahead toward’s my enlightenment.
Bright as I’ve ever been.
Yet where was school then ?, wasn’t cool.
Course call me ah fool.
Hated their rule’s.
So I hadda cut class.
Out an about.
Smoking some loud.
Parent’s weren't proud.
My life.
Began hеading south.
Started turning around.
Look at me now.
By chance found a way.
Toward’s doеs star’s.
No matter the distance.
Come thinking about it ?, how much time has passed ?
Miss this feeling of bliss.
But afraid I’ll fail.
Yet that thought will sail.
I’ve learned believing in me.
Say no to my enemies.
Ain't getting the best from I.
You don't realise.
Three eye’s recognise.
All these lies, hiding themselves while harassing other’s.
Day’s pass, hadda ask ?
What was the purpose to surface facing society ?, who ain’t ready for my painted vision’s.
Cause I’m not perfect.
But i’ll know you'll relate.
So cut it with that hate.
Picked up on a eighth.
Where were them hug’s ?
When all I had was these drug’s.
One’s toughening conscious.
What in earth is going down, with society ?
Fuck reality.
Fade into spirituality.
Born 99, an happy to be alive.
Born 99, I’m happy being alive.
So these feeling’s are forever mine.
Forever mine.
