[Cee-Lo]
At times, I, consider myself as this
A seed planted in the midst of distant wilderness
Destiny is already pre-planned for me, the process is slow
but eventually I`ll grow to be another tree
The lifecycle continues as I rise toward the sky
Frustrated and dehydrated cause the soil is dry
Polluted hidden`s what I`ll have to remain, I won`t complain
I`ll just keep waitin patiently, til he give me some rain, but
behind shades of gray, this is where the sun hides
I anticipate the warmth, that the light provides
So I don`t go and branch out, in the wrong direction
And the Elder Tree offers me wisdom for protection
He said, You see son, if you can learn from a mistake
how can it be one? And other seeds need examples
so be one; and, there`s no way out
cause only living it can show you what I`m talkin bout
[Mista]
Woke up Sunday morning
Got a little bad news today
They say my life ain`t worth livin
And time is slowly tickin away
Don`t think that I`m going crazy
Cause stars they running through my head
I know I gotta be strong, gotta hold on
Sometimes I`d rather give up instead
Seem like I`m better off dead
Chorus: * varies throughout *
Blackberry molasses, one of the things that never change
You`ve gotta keep pushin on
The sun don`t rain all the time
There`s gonna be some heartache and pain
[Mista]
Don`t tell me how to live my life
After all that we`ve been through
Don`t wanna hear bout your hardship
Cause I`ve been there myself a time or two
Still life goes on
If you just keep holding on
So many things you`ll survive, once you realize
There`s no such place as paradise
At least in my eyes
