[Cee-Lo]
At times, I, consider myself as this
A seed planted in the midst of distant wilderness
Destiny is already pre-planned for me
The process is slow
But eventually I'll grow to be another tree
The life cycle continues as I rise toward the sky
Frustrated and dehydrated cause the soil is dry
Polluted hidden's what I'll have to remain
I won't complain
I'll just keep waitin' patiently
'Till he give me some rain, but
Behind shades of gray, this is where the sun hides
I anticipate the warmth, that the light provides
So I don't go and branch out, in the wrong direction
And the Elder Tree offers me wisdom for protection
He said, "You see son,
if you can learn from a mistake how can it be one?
And other seeds need examples so be one
And, there's no way out cause only living it
can show you what I'm talkin bout"
Woke up Sunday morning
Got a little bad news today
They say my life ain't worth living
And time is slowly tickin' away
Don't think that I'm going crazy
Cuz thoughts keep running through my head
I know I gotta be strong
Gotta hold on
Sometimes I rather give up instead
Seems I'm better off dead
1 - Blackberry molasses
One of the things that never change
You gotta keep pushing on
The sun don't rain all the time
There's gonna be some heartache and pain
Don't tell me how to live my life
After all that we've been through
Don't want to hear about your hardships
Cuz I been there myself a time or two
Still life goes on if you just keep holding on
So many things ya survive once you realize
There's no such place as paradise
At least in my eyes
Repeat 1 until fade
