First Day of My Life
Even though I wasn't born yesterday
Every morning I feel like it's the first day
Because even when you struggle in the worst way
You gotta stay strong - so go on like it's your birthday
Now if you're in the woods, or you're in the hood
You could feel Earth's love. Trust my words, brother
And try to learn something
Because honestly our knowledge is the only thing
That ever comes between us
We get separated, segregated by our academics
So poor folks will always stay ignorant
That's why I hide my enlightenment, besides
Being blind, deaf and dumb is blissful, isn't it?
That's the feeling that I get from my tribe
Whenever we're together I'm all right
I cry when I'm reminded we're divided
But when I can forget that, it's like I come alive for the first time
Before I met you, I was trapped
I was born in the city with my mom and dad
And I was always feeling sad even as a little kid
Because everything is bad and they said it can't be fixed
They just labelled me depressed
Tried to stuff me full of meds that I'd constantly reject
Because I said I'd rather be insane, and feel my own pain
Than be left bored and unaffected. Yep!
I ain't ended up numb yet
I'm still walking on the path I'm on
Success means following your personal legend
This life is a journey. So just do your work, keep your head up
And never be afraid of the system
But, since it enslaves us, give resistance to it
And try to find a little peace every night, because
Come first light, it's another first day of your life
Every morning I feel like it's the first day
Because even when you struggle in the worst way
You gotta stay strong - so go on like it's your birthday
Now if you're in the woods, or you're in the hood
You could feel Earth's love. Trust my words, brother
And try to learn something
Because honestly our knowledge is the only thing
That ever comes between us
We get separated, segregated by our academics
So poor folks will always stay ignorant
That's why I hide my enlightenment, besides
Being blind, deaf and dumb is blissful, isn't it?
That's the feeling that I get from my tribe
Whenever we're together I'm all right
I cry when I'm reminded we're divided
But when I can forget that, it's like I come alive for the first time
Before I met you, I was trapped
I was born in the city with my mom and dad
And I was always feeling sad even as a little kid
Because everything is bad and they said it can't be fixed
They just labelled me depressed
Tried to stuff me full of meds that I'd constantly reject
Because I said I'd rather be insane, and feel my own pain
Than be left bored and unaffected. Yep!
I ain't ended up numb yet
I'm still walking on the path I'm on
Success means following your personal legend
This life is a journey. So just do your work, keep your head up
And never be afraid of the system
But, since it enslaves us, give resistance to it
And try to find a little peace every night, because
Come first light, it's another first day of your life
