*Phone rings* Hey How you doing? Folks been saying they see your mugshot on the news Well, I'm not lookin’ at that, you know I had surgery, I got other things to think about, I got a lot of pain But, we all do I know you need to know we're gonna get through it Everything's gonna be okay Hurt a lot of people ’cause we hurt ('Cause we hurt) Been in the game a long time, a nigga feet hurt (A nigga feet hurt) We all get doubted sometimes as believers But shit don't change, until you feel the pain of a rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth) Rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth) In the same month that my debut album droppеd, my pops had surgery on his neck It left him paralyzеd, I saw the fear in his eyes Reflectin' in mine, next to my mom, watching 'em grieve Wipin' tears from her face with my heart on my sleeve Throwin' up the Roc as I stood on stage with Hov While my own father could barely walk like he two years old And I'm gone on the road, so my mental state feels like the interstate, all of the travellin’ took its toll Googoo had a DJ set first night in Toronto I was off the d’USSÉ, swimmin' in Ace of Spades I hit the club owner’s brother over the head with the bottle SongtexteI was at my breakin' point, I couldn't contain my rage All the aggression that I was reflectin' was just depression Looking at album sales lower than I expected I wrote my odyssey on The Autobiography Felt like Capitol ain’t pull through with all that they promised me Tatted Alexandria name on my arm as a promise ring Then I broke it like a joke, now I'm laughin' at myself It's easier to place the blame on everybody else I'm yellin', "Fuck the world", but it's really a cry for help Hurt a lot of people 'cause we hurt ('Cause we hurt) Been in the game a long time, a nigga feet hurt (A nigga feet hurt) We all get doubted sometimes as believers But shit don't change, until you feel the pain of a rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth) Rebirth (Rebirth, rebirth) Drowning in controversy, I made it my identity I can be guilty of lackin' empathy Tryna play the hero, it made me a public enemy On point with my message but too blunt with my delivery I should've learned not to mix award shows with Hennessy Point a finger, that's three fingers back in your direction Sometimes you gotta take a L or two to learn the lesson I dissed a mother's dead son, I'm sorry Ms. Jackson I take the heat, I gotta let it burn with my confessions In the midst of the madness, my baby sister had a psychotic break Spent Christmas in a psych ward Not knowing if she's in good hands, like Allstate That was a tall order for the fam, she's only 5'4" Now I got my personal all tangled on my mic cord Could either break you or make you appreciate life more It only differs in perspective, you witness my crucifixion Welcome to my resurrection (Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth) Oh-ooh, ooh-oh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh We'll fly away, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Back from the dead, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh We're still alive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Back from the dead I'll pick you up when you're drowning, I'll hold you down I'll be your sun and provider and your protector (Your protector) I'll be the one that you follow when you feel down (Down, down, down) Come follow me to the sun and we'll fly away Down, down, down Fly Away We'll fly away Fly away (We can go high-high-high) We'll fly away Fly away (We can go) We'll fly away Fly away (We can go high-high) We'll fly away (Go right now) Fly away We'll fly away Fly away We'll fly away Fly away (Higher and higher) We'll fly away Fly away We'll fly away (Until God comes) Fly away We'll fly away (Higher and higher) Fly away We'll fly away (Fly away) Fly away We'll fly away Fly away We'll fly away Aus Songtexte Mania
