[Intro]
Happiness is not so much in having as sharing
We make a living with what we get, but we make a life with what we give
[Verse]
The boom bip, the boom bip
Indicates to the brothers that we be on the flip tip
Summer '06 made a move to the 'Nix
Not for glamour or glitz but to find the right pick
Square peg, round holes I found those a challenge
But the mileage would be worth it if I found a balance
High on life thought that I was on stilts
Then like a hit pinball machine, I was on TILT
Had to reset the score back to zеro
Networking with people who hadn't hеard of me before
Escaped from the concrete jungle where they palm heat
Hit up K-Murdock and he hit me with a bomb beat
Told them we're playing a different ball game
The fanbase the game its about to all change
In a couple seconds I reckon I couldn't have dreamt this out
Took the suspenseful route
They said you tripping like retirees, man what you trying to be
I don't know I guess I'm still trying to find me
Create a legacy that just doesn't define me
And all the while you were still right beside me
[Chorus]
Things aren't ever how they seem
Verily, verily life is but a dream
Thoughts flowing through me like a stream
No matter where you go don't forget your team
And my ears keep ringing
I'm tired and I'm weary but I still keep singing
And I'mma still keep bringing
The truth in song, so thank you for listening
[Verse]
The boom bap, the boom bap
Indicates to the real heads we still be on that
Summer '08 made plans to escape
Make a brand new tape, just knowing it'd be great
Square peg, round holes I found those a burden
But I was certain that if we did it right, it'd be curtains
A wrap but I was low on four flats
Till me and K came and altered the format
Had to reset the score back to zero
Networking with people who remembered me from before
Escaped from the ho hum doldrums
Got tired of producers weak chops and dull drums
Told them we trying to reach a higher plain
Bring back the games, had them going insane
In a couple seconds I reckon I couldn't have dreamt this out
They pulled the pencils out
Lost the gig but I still toured, never saw the Billboard
Blessed to have fans that ride for and kill for
The chance to be me when I wish that I could chill more
And every time I think it's done, there's still more
[Chorus]
Things aren't ever how they seem
Verily, verily life is but a dream
Thoughts flowing through me like a stream
No matter where you go don't forget your team
And my ears keep ringing
I'm tired and I'm weary but I still keep singing
And I'mma still keep bringing
The truth in song, so thank you for listening
