Mr Benevolent ft. CerVon Campbell Lyrics

Hello

Tonight

Yeah

There was a story of an old man, watching hard when he hit the gym

Looked around, found himself in the younger crowd

Acknowledged that it has come. The new world begins

The old one he knew slipped away

Lost touch like an old friend

Not due to the trouble, or feathers ruffled

Due to the fact life moved quick

He forgot to find him

He forgot to connect with kin

And how many years it has been

His old skills fade in relevance and his prized guitar falls out of tune

Makes up for the lost ground with a small act of benevolence

But he swears the world's the same

When he looks up sees the moon

Life spins 'round and 'round

Always told it would be better soon

That holiday meal so quiet

Relatives moved onto the next world, or rather be somewhere else

Grandkids ask for the Christmas cards sprinkled in with cash

In return he'll get a thank you call, maybe ask about his cat

Not about what he made of the world

Or the stories that he stashed

He has all the skills to escape the world

But his sight has blurred by his pilot

Studying to renew his license

Clenching to independence

Signs change, the brush swallows the landmarks

In turn wiping his imprint

Of his signed name in the wood carved

He wrote while playing the cowboys and indians

In the summers that shined brightest

Where the prick of grass rubbed up against his clothes

In such a way that he smiled wondered if his mom would get mad

He looks down today at his knee

The blade of grass is bionic with pins keeping it intact

Heartbeat is irregular but he refuses to get fat

The world he learned hasn't quite given back

But to receive he must give

To receive he must give

So much grieving

It can't be expressed by a tattoo on his rib

He hopes the best parts of him are passed down to his kids

There's so much to say

There's so much to say

There's so much to say before his soul rests in his bed

Before the world labels him a burden

What's one more sip of bourbon

When the shows, the curtains

Can't tell family from nurses

Approaching what's certain

A new world is certain

The world we once knew

Indistinguishable from view

Even his work to bring his life peace

This whole life has turned into yield signs in these streets

They don't see him for what he was

They see what he's become to be

I thought I wanted a lie

I just wanted a new life

I think I think too much

Was living but not enough

Fake happy for the cameras

Fake hype and flake on every occasion, I'm your dandruff

I think it's a little too evident

I just wanted some relevance

Peace and love is all I ever meant

Mr. Sorry wasn't big enough

Mr. This is all it's ever been and all you'll ever get

With grace, Mr. Benevolent

I found love

And I stopped loving

Found God

And I stopped looking for one

Drink water, move smarter

Find love in love like you want it

Call your parents, call your family

What's the point of life and loving if you ain't going to share it

The farm turns into a subdivision

The subdivision to a suburb

Kids don't know where their friends live because the architecture is cookie cutter

Architecture cookie cutter

Architecture cookie cutter

I have to keep going

I have myself difficulty so I can earn peace

I have to give myself difficulty so I can earn peace

He earned peace

He earned peace

But what has he done to earn peace

A beautiful start, from world to heart

The beginning and end of a journey
