[00:12.55]Wrote this on a beach while my kids were sleep
[00:15.22]Never thought I'd be at peace when I was near defeat
[00:18.31]Just got used to sending beats to get something to eat
[00:21.05]Looked inside my fridge and me and ain't seen nothing sweet
[00:24.42]Another person in the verses written years prior
[00:27.17]From space heaters to heated spaces I'm near fire
[00:30.11]Different versions of work in progress
[00:32.66]Collected wisdom from their wreckage
[00:34.28]That fortified with more in mind
[00:36.49]Can't reach perfection with a poor design
[00:38.47]Clear to me now I was the risk I had to steer shy of
[00:41.71]Foreshadowed by own shadow as lurking object
[00:44.73]Slid through the valley where the corpses lie now my fears appear minor
[00:48.01]What I've become is currently my finest
[00:50.52]But within time it takes its place as just a piece of mind
[00:53.28]Another address on the Ave I traded sleep for grind
[00:56.60]Lived many lives but the newest ones always the hardest
[00:59.95]I know I lived many lives
[01:02.96]Yeah, But I got so much more to go
[01:07.26]Yeah so much more to go
[01:10.06]Yeah baby, said I know I lived many lives
[01:15.68]Yeah, but I got so much more to go
[01:18.92]Tuh, so much more to go
[01:22.02]Oh my, heh
[01:24.03]My first life I was a dreamer born into illusions
[01:26.88]My second I became a student working on improvement
[01:30.24]Third bcame a preacher to protest our institutions
[01:33.30]Fourth I became a teacher to progress the moment
[01:36.12]Fifth I became a leader to protect conclusions
[01:39.14]Sixth a cheater to finesse those still in destitution
[01:42.38]Seventh a healer to correct what I just abusing
[01:45.17]The eighth I'm currently completing as my stress reducing
[01:48.35]Maybe what's left is losing count of all accounted for
[01:51.19]Forgetting my collection is a feat but a profound reward
[01:54.03]I found the lure of life exploring what I couldn't cause
[01:57.18]Effected by the random less a sceptic when you're met by newness
[02:00.26]I traveled far and wide before I ever charged to rhyme
[02:02.96]My open mind would visit what the artist me ain't stop to find
[02:06.14]To busy watching thrones I nearly didn't guard the shrine
[02:08.85]Within my many lives I'm surprised that I'm a rolling stone
[02:11.95]I know I lived many lives
[02:14.70]Yeah, but I got so much more to go
[02:18.97]Yeah so much more to go
[02:22.08]Yeah baby, said I know I lived many lives
[02:27.42]Yeah, but I got so much more to go
[02:31.18]Yeah so much more to go
[02:33.96]Yeah, yeah yeah
[02:35.91]Said I know, I lived many lives
[02:38.24]Maybe 10 to be exact
[02:39.71]Haters they be like how the hell you did that
[02:42.78]Hmm, gotta take it way back
[02:45.20]When I got my first 91 Deville Cadillac
[02:47.70]Hmm, took that shit off to New York City
[02:51.09]Now I'm in my own lane ain't nobody fucking with me
[02:53.82]HOV, hell yeah
[02:56.13]Hmm, now I'm in my own lane ain't nobody fucking with me
[02:59.88]Said I know I lived many lives
[03:02.75]Oh my huh, but I got so much more to go
[03:06.84]Tuh so much more to go
[03:10.20]Oh my huh, said I know I lived many lives
[03:15.90]But I got so much more to go
[03:20.12]Oh my
