Chorus: Mooo baby / We can make it happen/ Make it through baby / All we
|
need to do is begin rejuvenating / Keep it all in focus and pursue it
|
faithfully / Do it patiently / Just the way the sea's been this evening / I
|
came out at eight, was leaning on the railing / I kept hearing the waves
|
crashin' beneath me / Back and forth / They just rephrased what they were
|
saying / Over and over, doing that repeatedly / They'd crash and come back
|
/ Its just a constant thing / Every time they'd back out to sea / Its like
|
they'd draw just a little more out of me / A lot of images and feelings /
|
Just a limitless release / And I began to reminisce freely / It was a
|
cinema / Featuring me and a cast of emotions / That demanded my attention
|
immediately / I had previously put them on hold / On the back burner since
|
earlier / I didn't want to deal with it / At that time I felt like other
|
things were pertinent / Now I see its permanent unless I get real with it /
|
And it ain't that I don't love to tussle / Especially mentally / 'Cause I
|
generally do win / Might not win at first, but definitely eventually /
|
'Cause I ain't never not been a shoe-in since birth / But now, this is
|
special though / See, this is beyond my threshold / I'm accustomed to just
|
a conventional struggle / With two opponents / Only here the tussle's
|
between you and the truth / So ultimately I'm gonna lose / Actually I gain
|
though / I gotta be honest with myself, or else / I impede my personal
|
progress / I think it's better to be depressed for a minute / Admit it,
|
and get re-oriented / Instead of being a bitter cynic isn't it? / Chorus /
|
I'm getting older / Everybody around me acts all sober / Lookin' poker
|
faced / I started losing hair at the corners / Matter-of-fact, I looked up
|
top / That whole border's jacked / Nobody's gonna chauffeur me anymore /
|
Whatever this is, we all go through it I guess / It's just awkward / I'm
|
not a hundred percent comfortable with / The rate that everything's
|
developing at / It's just a little overwhelming at times / I'm dealing with
|
hella shit to process / It's new data daily / There's really no preparing
|
for this thing / Or, maybe it's mainly just me acting strangely / Just me
|
facing the challenge / I doubt it though / 'Cause I met thousands of people
|
/ Seen something similar in their faces / It's like the outlook is changing
|
/ I think it's called bein' a man in the making / It's burnt, I like
|
pralines now / Long walks solo, where I can sort my thoughts out / Just
|
what I've been taught to date / It doesn't gel well with the way that I've
|
been feeling these days / That's coming from a ton of angles, hella places
|
/ I'm really not trying to make a political statement / But just in terms
|
of internally inside/ I'm at an interval in life where it's a turbulent
|
time / And I could pretend that it's all good / And that I shouldn't put so
|
much on it / Let it sit and just settle itself / Stop acting all sobby and
|
sentimental / Besides everything's perfectly fine / But here I am on this
|
balcony / With my thoughts just traveling randomly on some tangent
|
And in the back of my mind / I keep hearing this lady / Her voice is
|
beautiful, she keeps saying / Mooo baby / We can make it happen/ Make it
|
through baby / All we need to do is begin rejuvenating / Keep it all in
|
focus and pursue it faithfully / Do it patiently
|
|
