I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to-
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to-
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to-
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to-
Live my life, A to Z
Fill up all the vacancies
Feel the vindication from the hate you get for chasing dreams
I'm major league with or without any co-sign
Stealing third base, no coach, no go sign
Ah, that's why I'm feeling how I'm feeling now
Music's my escape, but it's feeling even realer now
Grassroots, fuck that, we are on some other shit
Call it what you want, but motherfucker, you know what it is
I'll fucking bleed for it, ask them, they know
Color me in sepia, they are fuckin' day glow
Shades on, shoes tied, shortcuts never work
In it for the long haul, pot shots never hurt
Thick skinned rhinos, elephants we don't forget
What's important overall, no withdrawal, we don't regret
Pushing forward even though this life sucks sometimes
Fucking with this noose, I promise I can get it untied
You made it outta bed, task one, crossed off
Step two, show them that you ain't gon' be a rag doll
Stand up, backbone, strong enough to break falls
Ref is tryna make amends, look at all those late calls
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (live)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (breathe)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (oh)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (go)
So many people with the wrong intentions
We been living with a selfish vision
But I guess it's how we get through it
We take a lesson from the hardships
Bet on ourselves, grit our teeth and hurry up and get to it
We only get a minute to figure out what our business is
Your bucket list is getting long, hope you finish it
And in your movie they ain't cast Mr. Nicholson
Stumbling over jaded plots, better making revisions
It's-it's a different kind of feeling, you're doing what you wanna do
Charity is great but you can't help until you make it too
Or maybe that's the reason you've been all broken up
Vanity keeps you panicked, your image isn't focused up
Open up and talk about, walk it out and talk again
Closing off is why you see those fucking walls closing in
Break em' down and go outside
Live your life don't live the lie
Lose the attitude and prove that you know how to be alive
And prove that you can thrive, get your money, buy the things
But know that honesty and guts is how you bought the ring
And now your married to it, scarred up a changed person
Reward the hard work, looks like the pain was worth it
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (live)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (breathe)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (oh)
(I went to sleep, to sleep, to sleep)
I'm riding with a heart up on my sleeve
I ain't even sure it's mine, but I'm gonna let it be
No instructions to this shit, so I add another piece
Playing Legos with my life, I am tryna build a dream
Yo, arts and crafts day: build it from scratch
Construction paper for the skyline, the buildings are matchsticks
Uh, Michel Gondry with the imagery
And I ain't pop a single pill today, so who's to say just who can limit me (nobody)
Old soul more like a spring chicken
When the gears start turning and endorphins start kicking
Who's to say what's on the other side
Not me, not you
You don't need to bless me, I just need to hachoo
Sick with it, pandemic, get with it
We are in the same boat, we should probably go fishin' (fishin')
And I ain't feeling like I'm on a mission
So, when I wake up, please don't tell me any different
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (live)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (breathe)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (oh)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (go)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (live)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (breathe)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (oh)
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to- (go)
(Ah)
