I Been Looking Around - T-Bone

Growing up we didn’t have much 
I still remember mom in the welfare line 
Pops on the corner slanging flowers trying to make a dime 
Hustling hard, working beyond a nine to five 
Praying somebody stop but cars just keep passing him by 
My older sister ran away and chose a life of crime 
My younger sister getting calls from these older guys 
I still hear the sound of them sirens running through my mind 
Saw grandma die in a stretcher before my very eyes 
And who could forget the flames coming outta my room 
Wit firefighters trying to save everything that ain’t ruined 
It’s bad enough we barely making ends meet 
Now we ain’t even got a blanket or a place to sleep, man 
We all been through struggles and em’ harder times 
And at times it seems like there ain’t no peace of mind 
But just, when I started to doubt, thinking nobody cares 
I looked up and found that you was always right there 

Chorus 
Still looking for, keep looking for 
Out searching, nothing working, steady looking for… 
Still waiting for, keep waiting for 
True love, one love, what we waiting for… 

Moved to Southern Cali and bought me a baller crib 
Wit marble floors, high ceilings and a pool to swim 
I got a, lot of famous high profile friends 
A white Benz laced wit them chrome spinning rims 
Top dollar brand fashion and a Jacob watch 
Bracelet wit canaries and em flawless rocks 
I went from playa hated to Grammy nominated 
To making movies wit Cuba and Beyonce now they say I made it 
Finally got my music making all the headlines 
Radio spinning my single back to back 10 times 
But still it wasn’t everything that I thought it be 
Found me searching for love and life’s remedy 
Money bought me cars, power and yachts 
I’m still distraught, got my stomach tangled in knots 
Sad and depressed, finally after everything I been through 
I found out the only thing that was missing was you 

We all pretty much looking for the same thang 
We soul searching trying get through life’s long maze 
I been to mountain tops looking for the most high 
So many valleys lows, never thought I’d get by 
So many shattered dreams, all the broken promises 
Lied to, left for dead, emotional apocalypse 
We all looking for the answers of what and why 
Choose win or loose in this life we can live or die 
And never fill that empty space that we feel inside 
I know ya hurting, see the pain written in ya eyes 
Tried the drugs, tarot cards, and astrology 
Blaze up the purple haze, transcend reality 
Trying leave all of your problems behind 
And some of yall put ya faith a nine 
I got mine when I, gave up tha life 
Swapped it out for the better one 
Finally found true wealth, Never gonna find myself…
