Journey of One / omw

Yeah, uh

Had some missteps, made some mistakes
I'm not the same man who produced them mixtapes
Bound to fall a couple times runnin' at this pace
But all that matters is back home, them kids say
"You a legend, bro, I know it's true"
I look 'em in the eyes and say, "So are you"
Everybody got opinions, what I'm supposed to do?
I just keep doing the shit that I was chosen to

My radiance is like a thousand suns
I was born in Detroit, I was bound to run
And I know there's parts of me that still need work
But my real life is bigger than my dreams were
My life is like a king's dream
Half Ram Dass, half Springsteen
Countries are wide, mountains are tall
But the man that I've become's my best album of all, uh

I wanna taste life, never waste life
I remember years where I used to hate life
Now that doesn't even seem like it's the same life
Life tried to change me, then I changed life
It's unreal what it's taken to win
Dawa's gone now, so this is dedicated to him, uh
I didn't know about dreams, now I stand in one
Me and bear both almost died since Mansionz One

Uh, and how real am I?
I possess an insane amount of will inside
Made the summit, thanked God I was still alive
But you won't see my full radiance until I die

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Uh-uh, yeah, yeah

I'm always gone, I'm always late
I look around this life we made
It's beautiful and bittersweet, but I need to make some time for me
I'm sick of all this medicine I have to take for illnesses
They make me moody, make me mad
Sometimes I wanna just go back
Do it over one more time
Never touch a drink or line

I somehow made it here though
Made it through some years though
Made it through the war, I weighed one-hundred-thirty soaking wet
Now I'm waking up clear-headed, got my shit together and
Look at both my sons as pieces of my heart, I can't forget
The way I love their mother is the kind of love they won't forget

I wanna teach 'em empathy and growth and burning passion
And life ain't 'bout the money or G-Wagons or the fashion
It's making something special with potential and attraction
To what you find that's beautiful and what you can imagine
Then making that shit real and really making that shit happen
"On my way back home" is now my favorite fuckin' caption
I love you

I know you want to come home
I know you want to come home, home
Do you wanna go home now, Dada...?
You're okay, just breathe, just breathe
You're okay, you're okay
