(Now I've got to live for myself)
ย
Now I've got to live for myself
Lord knows I don't got less love, I just tend to love less
I learned to follow breadcrumbs that left you lookin' suspect
I started catchin' these cats that didn't move right
Heart turn blacker than blood under the moonlight
I refuse to waste breath, play games or fake reps
Peruse through the pain like I'm training for a strength test
All gas, no brakes, taking life in straight sets
One stray step away from making a train wreck
Devil is a dirty liar, he tried to beat me
30 years old, diagnosed with diabetes
And the last five were sober while my soul was finally healing
By giving others hope, I was shown a higher meaning
The gods must be crazy, cold, petty or indifferent
When I grow weary, I let my spirit do the heavy liftin'
Now I've got to live for myself
I couldn't sleep and started picturing the people that I've known
Considering the few that I still keep within my zone
I reflected on my loved ones, the chosen and the bloodline
'Til I was struck abruptly, interrupted by the sunshine
I'm half a hundred now, my face is weathered, but I
I never stopped to take breaks for pleasure, but I
I might've taken the bait to chase feathers
'Cause I heard the grass on the other side tastes better
Congratulations to my class of complacence
In the past, I was passionate but enthusiasm faded
I travel the world, come home and hide in my basement
Like I'm waitin' for an over simplified explanation of life
How you livin' in this latest edition?
Pack that excess baggage and let my legs do the heavy liftin'
Now I've got to live for myself
