Thinkin' Bout Life Lyrics

You know man...

Somebody told me that (Laughs)

Dying is easy... living is hard...

Laid back...thinking bout life...

Hoping for better days I'm trying to see the sunshine...hey...

Laid back...thinking bout life...

Hoping for better days I'm trying to see the sunshine...hey...

Daily I strive to push forward and pave a new path

Accomplish goals and gain new riches yet still stand as a man

Though opposition seek to destroy me my mind is made

To find a place where the sun shines though time to time it rains

Seems my life's fabric has been sown with lesser hills than valleys

But with perseverance and faith, somehow I still manage

Treated lesser than elements taken to shape my physical form

Beaten with words of degradation though love I gave from my soul

Joyous times seem out of place when compared with my burdens

Feels I been shot deep in my soul, but the bullet keep turning

Thinking of my juvenile years, flooded with tears

Who knew with pain you be repaid for keeping it real with your peers

At times it seems my life's been laid out and setup for failure

Causing confliction deep in my spirit cause deep in me I feel greatness

I'm tired of working hard seeing nothing come to fruition

Let me get mine...cause time is ticking

Laid back...thinking bout life...

Hoping for better days I'm trying to see the sunshine...hey...

Laid back...thinking bout life...

Hoping for better days I'm trying to see the sunshine...hey...

Seems I'm imprisoned within a paradoxical state of living

Cause it's so much more in this life I want to achieve and witness

Like being a beacon of light, bringing positive change

Lifting up spirits of the sorrow ridden, broken, beaten and chained

But I feel stretched beyond my capacity, truly weary

Yet still hoping for happiness though my days seem dreary

See I envision me mic ripping kicking lyrics to rhythms

With so much soul I can touch and move a crowd of about 100 million

As my strength from above mobilizes me I follow

Rivers and roads never known by those whose souls and hearts deemed hollow

Laying foundations for present and future generations to come

Making known what it means to keep it real and walking in love

Gaining respect from those deemed my enemies and opposers

Labeled a legend repping truth even in the midst of the phonies

Never known for kicking gibberish or presenting false imagery

Showing music from the soul, still alive and kicking, baby

Laid back...thinking bout life...

Hoping for better days I'm trying to see the sunshine...hey...

Laid back...thinking bout life...

Hoping for better days I'm trying to see the sunshine...hey...

Picture me flowing with more strength, and grace then a river

Throwing lyrical haymakers, knocking out instrumentals

Remaining humble, meek and lowly though compared with those before me

Never switching from my intention to help your spirit move forward

Though figgaz and cheese beyond my dreams may accumulate for me daily

I'll strive with all my heart and soul to never let money make me

Boasting and bragging never identified as one of my actions

Just a man of love as shown to God my fellow man and my family

Who went from sitting in class writing lyrics peaking out windows

To gripping microphones and ripping flows with soulistic rhythms

Inspiring minds of juveniles to stand for truth and be greater

Elevating the degraded through my soul shown on paper

Reflecting on times past as I stare through my rearview

Thanking God I'm seeing the fruit for all the things I pursue

And to homie who ain't here with me, I'll be seeing you nigga

In a place of perfect peace, for eternity nigga, ay
