Sittin on the train thoughts pass me by
I start to dig deeper and analyze
Wondering what's the point sometimes
Livin check to check, do you consider that fine?
Wanna make a change but i'm too damn passive
Rather smoke grass than get off my ass n
Redundant rhythm of the daily norm
Kills your ambition, you can't take no more
Ya feel like your swag needs to be restored
But you need that touch so you can seek reward
And still there are times when the weather is colder
Cuz I know ain't no one looking over my shoulder
And this god damn world is crushing my bones
And I think about wanting to go back home
But as I roam these streets my spirit stays strong
A whole days thoughts you hear it in this song
How did we ever lose our innocence?
The eyes of a child, it was so different
How do you live with so much indifference?
We just want to be loved. We just want to be loved.
Forced to make tough decisions
And you hope your vision goes into fruition
Just want somebody to listen
You're sick of the pitchin, the bitchin, the system
You can blame others for ya own misery
Or stand on ya own and rewrite history
I was dealt a bad hand, but I don't want sympathy
Just the chance to roam free, but most of that's on me
Creators of our own destiny
Yes I hope they remember me by the turn of the century
I wanna to leave a legacy
But words are absurd unless you act on your energy
We have unhealthy tendencies
It's a fucked up world where we have no empathy
Money rules us endlessly
In the end it just made us our own worst enemy.
How did we ever lose our innocence?
The eyes of a child, it was so different
How do you live with so much indifference?
We just want to be loved. We just want to be loved.
To everyboy out there strugglin
I feel ya fumes when they all think u buggin
It ain't all or nothin
These are trying times, try to understand somethin
You can walk in my shoes, you can't wear my hat
Nobody knows where nobodies head is truly at
But unity and love, that's where it's truly at
And hopefully we can get our innocence back.
