From the recording L.A.M.E. - The Bright Side
Lyrics
Verse:
i came in this world crying
i didn't ask to be here, i was better where i was, there in Zion
Now here i am
Struggling to breathe here
Suffocating from the air here, & i don't see the heir here, & why can't i speak here
How will i share all of these ideas ppl need here
When no one hears me or these very thoughts that i think here
The life i lead
Will be testing to say the least
February 4th, 85' 5:46 as i breathe
Every breath is just a step closer
To death, tho i kno I was just born, I'm already dying, as it approaches
i kno i'm blessed to be alive tho
& die slow
Thank God i got mo
Time than some who didn't see 21, & died so
My purpose still serves a purpose, that much, i kno
My 1st lesson was survival
Mama had a miscarriage, she fell & cracked her egg
It didn't hatch
on top of that
My oldest brother, stopped breathing in his sleep
That taught me a few things about our dreams
He died bro
i'm here to serve mankind & God tho
Nothin elseā¦.
Came from the darkness to see the light
Life's like a pair of dice
Right?
i went from paradise, to a life full of hardships to see the light
Hook:
For the 1st time in my life i opened my eyes
For the 1st time in my life i'm fucking alive, fuckin alive
For the 1st time in my life i opened my eyes
For the 1st time in my life i'm fucking alive, fuckin alive
For the 1st time in my life
