so you been looking for me since how long i dont know when.
and you can take it from me, girl i would do it again.
the kind of ocean amazement i feel when i claim it,
despite all the time that keeps passin.
take it from me- theres alot more to see,
and now youre wonderin if'n maybe you should, since im askin.
mom i wont let it be all about the money-
besides, they just wanta win and then smile.
bring it on, cause i would today-
girl so far over yonder way,
in the way that we was and the things that we did-
we used to have more joy and pride in this shit.
on the way back down from the house i was not the same-
i was suffocating, and all the motherfuckers got in my way.
but my, oh my, how beautiful it is to leave home
(the unwillingness to go it alone)
and slip out under the high trees' shade.
