How come nobody ever ever told me? How come nobody ever ever showed me? Guess I'm a self made man Just trying to run down the words of my own story See how we became so selfish The good life but our minds are so hectic How many handshakes a day? How many heartbreaks away? How many times do I stop and I wonder? If everything is right, if I'm not gonna stumble I know my mama understands me but she missis me And when I go my baby's sad wehen she kisses me Cause it's a sad goodbye But to do what I do it takes a state of mind I'm like a young hungry boxer in his prime I'm like a young hungry rapper on his first rhyme
Free your mind and free your soul this is all you can do Keep your head up till you go and look at the sky above you And if nobody ever told you that somebody is there to hold you Don't fear nobody, never walk away
I'm living at the speed of live Never stop, never sleep, never ask the same twice I'm making money so people are so nice It's so funny cause they all want to get a slice I'm in a ˜Living Large˜ motion Everything I dreamed of, all of this commotion All of my preconceived notions More money, more power, more options But then again when you stop and you wonder Not much you can take up so what do you leave under Cause I know that one day I will have a price to pay I will hurt people and I won't have a word to say So how wrong can I go, how strong can I be f**k it! Let the flowing time tell me I'm looking at the sky and don't you ever try to stop me
Free your mind and free your soul this is all you can do Keep your head up till you go and look at the sky above you And if nobody ever told you that somebody is there to hold you Don't fear nobody, never walk away
