(yo, what would happen if everyone on earth held their breath for one minute, all at the same time...)
stand strong, be a man, understand
do the best that you can
that's all i know
people lie, people steal, people kill
but everyone feels
that's all i know
where i am, what i do, what i knew
how i grew bein' with you
that's all i know
and today i'm still here, still fear
still somethin' ain't clear
that's all i know
maybe you could tell me how to feel
'cause i lost my owner's manual to this ordeal
i walk through life one day at a time
'cause people talk so much i stop listenin' to mine
i wanna throw up my heart but i don't wanna bond
i don't wanna have no problems but i'm far from bein' fine
if i could take one step out this life
if i could see myself the way that everybody does
then i might just decide to be like every tom, dick and harry
work a job and get married, raise kids, die scary
i don't wanna be a sitcom
i don't watch tv
i'm a 25 non-smoker, no std's
it's kinda weird bein' alone sober
a big change from bein' fucked up, all of my dogs over
i said a lotta shit and some of it i take back
some of it i never spoke, so sit and meditate that
thanks for the line, it -- it just fit
sometimes i second-guess what i just did
o matter what i do, know that fools rush in
in the backgrounds, beatin' the percussion
stand strong, be a man, understand
do the best that you can
that's all i know
people lie, people steal, people kill
but everyone feels
and that's all i know
where i am, what i do, what i knew
how i grew bein' with you
that's all i know
and today i'm still here, still fear
still somethin' ain't clear
that's all i know
someone stop me from sellin' myself short
because we both know the non-shallow deserve more
i'm real but compared to what, i don't know
i feel but don't age
i'm young and still broke
i haven't lost enough to appreciate a thing
i'm surrounded by people that hold people only as dreams
well let it be 'cause there ain't no remedy to heal a broke heart
if somethin's temptin' me, the emptiness is a part
of how i walk now
everything i see is a piece of what makes the pieces that make up me
and when i breathe weed-free, it's a bit too sharp
i need to check my vision
times ain't that hard
i got a good thing goin' and i'm good at it
i need to drop these bad habits, i ain't no addict
and when the sun shines down there ain't no static
and when i smile i just know that i so had it made
stand strong, be a man, understand
do the best that you can
that's all i know
people lie, people steal, people kill
but everyone feels
that's all i know
where i am, what i do, what i knew
how i grew bein' with you
that's all i know
and today i'm still here, still fear
still somethin' ain't clear
that's all i know
grey skies make blue much better
and times only endeavor as practicin'
pull the lever to rewind it all and watch you barely even see me
i'll make a short appearance but cameo's off the tv
let the cd play and let the real me shine
'cause what happened was over a long time and it's all fine
i'm lovin' the unexpectancy
feelin' the feelings felt
i'm diggin' the new experience
lettin' it all melt
yo i'm so strong, i move on, don't look back
i can only walk forward with a smile and you know that
i had to write this
i fuckin' wrote this
this is my own life laid out, support this
(that's all i ask... for sure... that's all i can ask... for sure... support this...)
that's all i know
stand strong, be a man, understand
do the best that you can
that's all i know
people lie, people steal, people kill
but everyone feels
and that's all i know
where i am, what i do, what i knew
how i grew bein' with you
that's all i know
and today i'm still here, still fear
still somethin' ain't clear
that's all i know
stand strong, be a man, understand
do the best that you can
that's all i know
people lie, people steal, people kill
but everyone feels
and that's all i know
where i am, what i do, what i knew
how i grew bein' with you
that's all i know
and today i'm still here, still fear
still somethin' ain't clear
that's all i know
know know know...
know know know...
know know know...
