Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look, somehow I escaped the fate of this life I lead
Divorced the street, she tried to kill me and my wife to be
Black widow, silk sheets and a satin pillow
This California king loved you like a sack of indo
Empty Patron bottles and a pack of Mentos
Master suite, 'frigerator full of incidentals
Every day we have a ball like a blonde bimbo
Talk to her like a shrink and fuck her like a nympho
[Verse 2]
And it can be as simple as it seems
If you never doubt yourself and learn from everything you see
No, wishing on a star can turn your life into a dream
You could walk on water, just don't look down at your feet
Look, told this world I was a star, and I'm gon' need a stage
'Cause life is short and talk is cheap so fuck what people say
When I was twelve a crazy lady told me, lead the way
I shed a tear 'cause it was real, this water never straight
[Verse 3]
Now every second is a classic, when nothing last
Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that
This world is turning faster and faster
And once you found the real, it's hard to tolerate the plastic
[Verse 4]
I ain't no Christian, ain't no Catholic, but
I believe God gonna shine his light on everyone and never ask shit
I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking
We used to be connected, who detached us?
Used to be respected now they laughing
We've turned into possessions with no passion
How we go from the best to less than average?
We used to be connected, who detached us?
[Verse 5]
Who? Who? Who?
With no collective identity
It's every man for himself
We need a black mafia
[Verse 6]
Look, ruthless Crip on some stupid shit
To valeting at Ruth's Chris in some roofless shit
I think too much TV is what ruins kids
When homosexual act as they influences
We need community centers that teach the music biz
That way we learn to retain ownership on some Jewish shit
Don't take no hand out, you build it, it's more lucrative
And now that everything that I spoke, it's the truest shit
[Verse 7]
You get abused long enough, you start abusing shit
She flipped the script and now your woman calling you a bitch
You got some problems in the house that only you can fix
And if he was a kid that grew up with it even you would split
He told the world he was a star and he gonna need a stage
'Cause life is short and talk is cheap so fuck what people say
When he was twelve a crazy lady told him, lead the way
He shed a tear 'cause it was real, this water never straight
[Verse 8]
Now every second is a classic, when nothing last
Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that
This world is turning faster and faster
And once you found the real, it's hard to tolerate the plastic
[Verse 9]
I ain't no Christian, ain't no Catholic, but
I believe God gonna shine his light on everyone and never ask shit
I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking
We used to be connected, who detached us?
[Verse 10]
Who? Who? Who? Who?
You, you, you, you
Me, me, me, me
Us, we, we, love
[Verse 11]
Death is the destination we are share
No one has ever escaped it
And that is as it should be
Because death is very likely the single best invention of life
It's life's change agent, it clears out the old make way for the new
Right now, the new is you
But someday not too long from now
You will gradually become the old and be cleared away
[Verse 12]
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life
Don't be trapped by dogma
Which is living with the results of other people's thinking
Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition
They somehow already know what you truly want to become
Everything else is secondary
Stay hungry, stay foolish
[Verse 13]
It was their farewell message as they signed off
And now, I wish that for you
Stay hungry, stay foolish
Thank you all very much
[Verse 14]
All money in, no money out
