If I threw a brick through the window
They'd probably stamp it with a tick,
sell it back to me marked down
Or maybe take the footage
Throw in a hip hop sound track, stamp
They'll buy up all the forests,
Advertise the air,start charging
Or maybe they'll buy babies
and give them corporate names
Like Little Baby Big Mac, or
this rhyme don't exist without a label
But things ain't as black and white
as they were in the cradle
Let go of the fable, breathe,
And I'm getting everything
when I just step into the light
It's like all we built society
Made it way too complicated,
pretend we have the answer
Had to make my own mistakes to see the
Had to live that life before saying
Because money can't buy happiness,
man that should be our banner
Had to stop, meditate and listen,
had to give back instead of counting what I'm given
Had to realise that dropping
Had to have everything I built
No more heading for collision if
And learn to live simply,
I'll be cursed by what I'm spitting
I'll be worse off living, not appreciating zero
I know it 'cause I done it,
Seen and rocked a thousand faces
then been miserable as hell
When I achieved my dreams
couldn't see the wood for the trees
how many friends can I collect?
How many records can I sell? But numbers,
I was only focusing on what I can get
But the irony is, when I don't think of it
my time spent was a waste
'Cause the universe works
Success has never brought me
And trying to control everything
just brought me to my knees
Putting pen to paper, giving the best of me
So now I know, the only thing I know, is
that I don't know nothing
Been given a millionth chance
I'm on my knees praying that I
'Cause it takes a bigger man to
It takes a bigger man who's
It takes a bigger man to not react
when they're talking shite
So I humble myself and may
'Cause what other people think of me ain't
I was clouded, but now I seek forgiveness
I seek a way out of my insanity
Used to say "take pride in being whoever
Now I take pride in my mistakes
I take pride in my failures,
it means "I tried something new"
And maybe next time I'll get it
if I keep pushing through
So now I'm back and I'm better
That machine kills fascists and
this microphone kills cynics
Now I tap into a spirit that
Find in spiration like these verses
find gratitude in all I've been given
Letting go of the resentment,
No more imagined enemies,
I'm getting to know myself,
I'm present in the moment
Now I'm present to the gift
I will show myself not hide behind
I don't care about approval,
don't care about endorsements
Ain't hiding behind the chattering
And when I lose my chains
Now I'm back on my grind,
Saw a couple shooting stars
I won't get lost again now
I will stay true to myself
So tell me, tell me, tell me why
The more I seek, the less I find
Love is more than I can buy
So tell me, tell me, tell me why
Tell me, tell me, tell me why
The more I seek, the less I find
Love is more than I can buy
So tell me, tell me, tell me why
