Ugh, everything was all bad just a week ago
Sitting in the dark with the speakers on
Thinking to myself, “I should be alone.”
Cellphone ringing like the presidents
Cause I ain't been seen since Saturday
Ring ringing off the hook, can't pick it up
Phone ringing off the hook, so I pick it up
(I heard) that somebody somewhere said I'm something
And since I been feelin like, I am someone
And one of these days I'll see how wonderful, beautiful this soul of mine is
And all it might be for now
Cause yeah
I'm all I might be for now
But sh**, that's all I might need for now
Oww
What a relief. I think I shook that
Feeling you get when you're down in the dumps
And it's funny how it looks when you look back
Roadblocks lookin like bumps in a month
I'm a-okay, yeah I'm straight
Ni hao ma, oh I'm cool
Fresher than a freezer full of fruit on Friday
Today I'm better
[C. Freeman El]
Yeah, and a lot of times….you know..we like them little pity parties
[Chorus]
I heard
Happiness is guaranteed
Freedom, freedom
That's all we need, that's all we need
That's all we need, thats all we need
Thats all we need
[Ayomari]
Today-da-day day
Hopped up feeling like (ya know)
Think I'll try something different (ya know)
Make some new decisions (ya know)
I think today could bring some new new
Pockets are on E
But spirits are in high gear
My bro Cas said it ain't bout cash
It's about that man in the mirror
Hit or miss, still shoot your shot
Fear of failure don't prove you're not good enough
Good enough
Could get tough if you're stuck on the next man's speed
Feeling the need to be what the next man be
What's the rush?
Whats the catch?
Success s**s, too much stress
I guess, but how do you define success?
A check? (1, 2, 1, 2)
Accept (what you gon do)
When all the money gone and the bees in the honeycomb leave
Gotta believe in something you can't see (ya know)
Without a dream is something you don't need (ya know)
Luckily if you wanna dream it's free
All we have is one life to live
So be glad that we here and (hey!)
[Chorus]
Happiness is guaranteed
Freedom, freedom
That's all we need, that's all we need
That's all we need, thats all we need
Thats all we need
Freedom, freedom
That's all we need, that's all we need
That's all we need, thats all we need
Thats all we need

You sholl is dumb
That's all it takes for a six, seven, eight, nine, ten year old kid to hear
Somebody he likes, loves, cares about hits him with that…
It'd have been better if you hit him with a baseball bat
That'll last a lifetime
And this posture of inferiority takes over
And they start believing down instead of believing up about themselves
But they've found that which clears away the illusions
Talent is the great antidote to the illusions of inferiority
To the problem of failure
It is talent, not sk**s
When you find your talent, you know it's you doing it
Not the textbook, not the diploma, not your job status
The problem of the student is very much haunted by that psychological fear

He don't even hear you...
