Longevity is promised to no one
But the privileged and the profits
And even them they get shot down too often
All I've ever been is an artist, I ain't running for office
I don't f** with the politics climbing ladders and falling
On paper I got no reason to fight these demons I have
When I'm at my greatest
I face them face to mask and feed them to my pad
When I'm at my weakest I roll them up in a joint
And kick it with them all night
Through weekend and keep going
Next thing you know ain't wrote a poem in a month
Ain't called my mom in a week
Ain't seen my brother in a year and we hardly speak
You see these things matter because
They're what make us more than just matter
Memories, family, music
Makes us human and bring us laughter...Happiness
[Chorus]
I'm eating good, I'm living good
But still I'm searching the world
For something better though
If this is life, I pray I live it right
And treat everyday like it's my last
Cause sh** you never know
Sometimes I feel foolish
Sometimes I act stupid
Sometimes I feel perfectly me
With nothing to prove and sh**
Nothing to do but do my best and chase happiness
Cause if you ain't having fun
What are you doing with yourself?
I feel life is less of a movie and more of a novel
You are not the actor you are the author
Any moment start a new chapter
Choose your own adventure
Venture into uncharted waters
Be honest with yourself and others
Beside that do the f** you wanna
Happiness is more than smiles
Sometimes it means you cry
Because you hurt because you love
If not you're numb and then die inside
I was trying to fly before I learned to swim
My wings were wet
We drift to shore and reconnect (reconnect)...Happiness
[Chorus]
I'm eating good, I'm living good
But still I'm searching the world
For something better though
If this is life, I pray I live it right
And treat everyday like it's my last
Cause sh** you never know
If I'm the greatest but not on your playlist
Does that make me the tree that fell in the forest?
They'll never know
I ain't perfect but I'm down to put the work in
And I found a way to make it worth it
I wrote a song you'll never hear
Cause I chose to live not live in fear
If I lose my mind then let 'em know I finished here
Forever yours, I been sincere
Since we're being real, I should let you know
Even though it's far from home
Happiness is where I'm going
