Sun up, heads up, I’m up, get a hustle up, get a muscle up, sign up, come and try your luck, if you really wanna fly all you gotta do is …..jump, act tough but she’s just a buttercup, learning how to love, learning how to trust, slow cook, till it bubble up, then I switch it up, then I mix it….. up
I lay awake in the night and never sleep because cause I got a lot of things on my heart and my mind I mean,
these tired eyes have seen too much of the things that could change, wish the world would just care for us
at time I wish I could fly, I know the world wasn’t made for a man like me to survive
I’ve been around the world three times, I saw the pie in the sky, when ya learn that the truth is inside because they all jus wear a disguise, it’s hard to rise unless you learn to be wise and love what you find in the mirror, I open my eyes they’re much clearer,
It”s use or be used and I am no user, I’m too soft, too young, too posh, too touched,
problems can’t be solved by hiding from the truth, pretending not to care, I lost my mind I lost my peace I lost me time I’m too naive
And thought that I could save the world, can’t even save my girl from the hurt, and the pain, and the trouble it gained, as I left to the west, sayin that I’ll be back, and I never returned, but it wasn’t the traffic I just took a path and there wasn’t a map, if you’re not by my side, baby just tell me that, ’cause I know in my mind that there’s no turning back.
At the end of the day I won’t be in tact, don’t know what to say cause I don’t have the tact, just a buttercup, just a buttercup…just a buttercup, just a buttercup… just a buttercup, just a buttercup
