In my past I'd wish for something different from what's within my grasp Now I've grown I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known As a child I'd try to find a way to be OK with how I smile Now I've grown I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known Anybody that I've known Look at my face So many miles I can't complain I won't complain, I don't complain I might complain, but still told the truth My water stay running, but my food don't move I make a size 12 footprint Make love to my wife, make music with my real friends My voice make enough noise for the books Then I hunt these woods to catch dinner for my children Got me dreaming I could reach through the phone And kiss the family good night then sleep like a stone Hotel, motel, feel at home if you play a little Nina Simone Don't quit your day job, this is my day job It won't stop a single raindrop I gotta get money to purchase a space pod Then fly up to heaven in person and thank God In my past I'd wish for something different from what's within my grasp Now I've grown I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known As a child I'd try to find a way to be OK with how I smile Now I've grown I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known Anybody that I've known I'm all about the sarcasm and optimism I'm kinda like a bumper sticker Listen, you're kinda like an artist, you got the vision Looking at the mirror like it's competition And it's always trippin', but you're not intimidated We all tryna stay alive and innovative Everybody aiming at the face of similar limitations We all cut from the same pavement If you and I are gonna search through this universe together First gotta desert the center Some of us will be mad at the world forever And some of us don't even curse the weather Whether or not I gave it everything that I got It won't stop a single raindrop But when it finally wash my finger-paints off I'm tryna make sure it don't spell my name wrong In my past I'd wish for something different from what's within my grasp Now I've grown I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known As a child I'd try to find a way to be OK with how I smile Now I've grown I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known Anybody that I've known
