[Intro]
A one-two, a one-two
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Why you acting so funny, boo?
I'm nice, but sh** I'm nineteen, wait 'till I'm twenty-two
You could catch me at your pad half nude, runnin' through
Having your honey moo like that's somebody's new honeymoon
So what it do? What is "it" in the first place?
What's the point of home running when I love hitting first base?
How could I be making title waves without earthquakes?
And how could I make every day as great as my birthdays?
You take life's path, God it's gonna bring you far
'cause I can promise you you're everything but what you think you are
No matter how distinct you are
Yes the world is crazy in these days, but don't never go let it shrink your heart
If you allow yourself to stray from the past
Remain in the present, eventually be thankful at last
That's the greatest of tasks, open your mind to see
You're the same kind as me and I can say it's a fact, c'mon
[Hook]
That's why I go for the moment and own it totally
No matter the endeavor, you'll never be getting hold of me
I'm happier than ever and the reason is
'cause I refuse to let them get control of me
And so I go for the moment and own it totally
No matter the endeavor, you'll never be getting hold of me
I'm happier than ever and I'm free because
I refuse to let you get control of me
[Verse 2]
Where did pa**ion go?
It's like people having s** just for the afterglow
When are we gonna be done with the rumbling? Come together
We can focus on going intergalactic (Whoa)
I guess I'll see where I stand
But I know my purpose is to simply be who I am
And so I don't get overloaded tryna control the moment
I just go with the flow and I live free from a plan
So relax a little, listen to the jazz
You and me and Louis Prima playing on the sax a little
Saying, "Pa** the Skittles", going down the road slowly
With only one light, yelling that's Padiddle
It's a new age, a new time
What destiny will you find?
I aim to see a world without no veterans in food lines
So I've been practicing at bettering my new mind
The world is a reflection, so acceptance would do you kind
[Hook]
That's why I go for the moment and own it totally
No matter the endeavor, they'll never be getting hold of me
I'm happier than ever and the reason is
'cause I refuse to let them get control of me (b**h)
And so I go for the moment and own it totally
No matter the endeavor, you'll never be getting hold of me
I'm happier than ever and I'm free because
I refuse to let you get control of me
[Verse 3]
Why you take life so serious?
Because your world's an illusion, and you're delirious
The source of confusion, delusion and of fear is this
Egoic mind reducing experience to appearances
So go and find yourself and clear the lid
Inside yourself's a treasure greater than the ancient pyramids
Mind yourself, it's patience that makes a man what he really is
Instead of writing hatred, complaining and being furious (Settle down)
I find it funny, let's set it straight
And burn as brightly as the shinin' sun when you meditate
'cause some become indebted to consumption and vanity
But when it comes to friends and family then money had better wait
Remember money's nothing yo, it's just numbers
And you can go and add another 'till you're over-encumbered
But so you discover that love is something you can't purchase
So money is worthless! I told you, my brothers
And don't succumb to the illusion that nobody could stop war
Why you think that you became a human with thought for?
Honestly, the truest shame ain't evil or kings
But when an eagle's given wings and decided to not soar
And know that life is a lot more
Than working nine to five or living behind a locked door
Or shirking time alive on a quest for possessions
'cause you could get 'em, but in the end I promise you'll always want more
So while you watching "Cops", eating ramen
I'm up in the jungle taking Ayahuasca with a shaman
And fungal concoctions until I'm talking with Andromedans
'bout the possible planes of existence, and which one God is in
They told me "ALL OF EM"
Now I'm tryna be sovereign over my life and confident
That I'ma prosper, living within the wisdom of Solomon
Scribbling scriptures down 'till my mix counts as a doctrine
I decided reliable guidance is hard to get
So I confide in my intuition and my own providence
So you can watch the consequence as I start to ascend
Out of the bottom pits from anonymous to the top of this
I'm being honest kids
That I will not desist and I'll never stop it, I promise this
There may be obstacles every day and a lot that resist
But if I got conviction, it's nothing that resolve couldn't fix
[Hook]
And so I go for the moment and own it totally
No matter the endeavor, they'll never be getting hold of me
I'm happier than ever and the reason is
'cause I refuse to let them get control of me
And so I go for the moment and own it totally
No matter the endeavor, you'll never be getting hold of me
I'm happier than ever and I'm free because
I refuse to let you get control of me (I refuse!)
[Reprise]
That's why I live for the present and give it all of me
So whether that be painful or pleasant, you'll never be fallin' me
I'm living in harmony with the higher part of me
Today I'm all in, there ain't no way to be stallin' me
That's why I live for the present and give it all of me
So whether that be painful or pleasant, you'll never be falling me
I'm living in harmony with the highest part of me
My fate is calling, I'm ready to get it started, see?
