♪ ALRIGHT, ♪

♪ RONALD. ♪

♪ I'M IN PRISON AND I THINK I BUILT MY OWN CELL. ♪

♪ PROPHETS SPEAK SOFTLY, HOMIE; THEY DON'T YELL. ♪

♪ ONLY THOSE THAT HEAR MY MUSIC KNOW MY LOWER DEPTHS. ♪

♪ THE DOER DOES, THE KNOWER RESTS, ♪

♪ THE SCHOLAR LEARNS, THE SAGE FORGETS. ♪

♪ IF I COULD WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT THEN I MIGHT GET A SHOT. ♪

♪ I GET WHAT I THINK ABOUT WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT. ♪

♪ WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, LIFE DOESN'T STOP. ♪

♪ I NEED TO QUIT POLLUTING MY MIND WITH SEX AND VIOLENCE. ♪

♪ THE SECRET THAT I'M SEEKING WAS LEFT IN SILENCE. ♪

♪ AND MY MICROPHONE IS POINTING GOD'S FINGER. ♪

♪ I'M A SAINT DISGUISED AS A POP SINGER. ♪

♪ HERE'S A FUN FACT: MOST PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR POTENTIAL UNTAPPED. ♪

♪ THERE WILL BE MORE THAN CAMPING GEAR TO UNPACK. ♪

♪ SOMETIMES, YOU GOTTA GO THERE JUST SO YOU CAN COME BACK. ♪

♪ SLOW IT DOWN. I STILL GOT THE FEELING, BABY. ♪

♪ SLOW IT DOWN. NO MORE RUNNING AROUND. ♪

♪ I SAID SLOW IT DOWN. I STILL GOT THE FEELING, BABY. ♪

♪ SLOW IT DOWN. NO MORE RUNNING AROUND. ♪

♪ ♪

♪ MY FOOT HURTS, I DIDN'T GET SLEEP. ♪

♪ MY DAD DIED, MY HOROSCOPE AIN'T IN SYNC. ♪

♪ I MISUNDERSTOOD AND TWITTER IS RUTHLESS. ♪

♪ UH OH, I THINK MY PROBLEMS ARE EXCUSES ♪

♪ FOR NOT BEING WHO I KNOW I AM. ♪

♪ I'M 31, THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO HOLD MY HAND. ♪

♪ THOUGH I BELIEVE I GOT SOMEONE WATCHING OVER ME. ♪

♪ I BELIEVE I'M EXACTLY WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE. ♪

♪ I BELIEVE THAT EVEN WHEN THE ROAD IS BLEAK, ♪

♪ THAT THESE OBSTACLES WERE SET UP JUST FOR ME. ♪

♪ AND FAMILY MATTERS, I'M ON SOME URKEL SHIT. ♪

♪ POSNER ON A PRIMO BEAT, THIS SOME FULL CIRCLE SHIT. ♪

♪ I BELIEVE NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE HURDLES GET, ♪

♪ I CAN FLIP THIS WHOLE THING INTO AN INTERNAL WIN. ♪

♪ LIFE AIN'T MEANT TO BE A HEAVY THING. ♪

♪ MET RAM DASS. HE TOLD ME, "JUST LOVE EVERYTHING." ♪

♪ SOME DAYS I CAN'T GET OUT OF BED, ♪

♪ CRIPPLED BY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS INSIDE MY HEAD. ♪

♪ LIKE, WHY DO I ALWAYS STOP BEFORE MY LIMITS? ♪

♪ AND, WHY AM I ONLY GOOD AT LOVING PEOPLE FROM A DISTANCE? ♪

♪ WHY AM I SO VAIN, OBSESSED WITH FITNESS? ♪

♪ WHY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE I'M AROUND MY ASSISTANTS? ♪

♪ BUT, WAIT, THE LAST TIME I FELT THIS WAY, ♪

♪ I BUCKED UP, KEPT GOING AND GOT MY SHIT STRAIGHT. ♪

♪ DIDDY TOLD ME GO WITH MY HEART. ♪

♪ SO MY FOCUS IS ART, NOT WHERE I GO ON THE CHART. ♪

♪ THE DIVINE LIGHT IN ME LOVES TO GLOW IN THE DARK. ♪

♪ IF MY LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WE'D BE APPROACHING THE PART ♪

♪ WHERE THE HERO WINS AND LEARNS DON'T CHASE WHAT YOU ALREADY GOT AND RETURNS HOME. ♪

♪ THOSE WHO SAY DON'T KNOW; THOSE WHO KNOW DON'T SAY. ♪

♪ I'M DONE WALKING WITH THE HERD; IT'S TIME I GO MY OWN WAY. ♪

♪ SLOW IT DOWN. I STILL GOT THE FEELING, BABY. ♪

♪ SLOW IT DOWN. NO MORE RUNNING AROUND. ♪

♪ I SAY SLOW IT DOWN. I STILL GOT THE FEELING, BABY. ♪
