[Verse 1:]
Is this the life I chose, or is this my destiny
'Til it gets ruined when I try to change the recipe
I'm sick of saying rest in peace
And I'm sick of hearing albums when I'm not impressed with beats
But I got my own problems to deal with
And I don't know if I'ma make it, honestly on some real sh**
I'm so confused, you can hear it in my lyrics
Man I don't even trust the people I eat meals with
I really feel like no one has ever been there for me
It s**s to be alone, I wish there was a pair of me
But apparently it's me against everything else
So it seems like I don't care about anything except for myself
And that's a little tough for some to swallow
I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I feel so f**in' hollow
What's tomorrow gonna have in store for me
I'm ready for it, and I'ma keep on growing like the Coral Reef
Chorus:
Who's got the answers to the questions we asked
Can we find them in the future, the present, the past
Keep your advice, I never asked for your help
The fact is brother, I was asking myself
[2X]
[Verse 2:]
Yeah, yo
I've had my heart broken in to pieces, but that's whatever
You better believe I glued those f**in' pieces back together
It'll never be the same, but it'll have to do
They say you can feel it in your stomach, and that sh**'s true
So it's hard to say I love you
And I apologize again to all the women I've been numb to
But it's hard to trust you, and you probably had it happen too
So you can understand, I'm doing what I have to do
And when I drink, I'll call you again
And if you can deal with that, I'll call you my friend
At this point, that's all I can afford to offer
Whether you know me as Adam, or you call me Walker
I try to stay sincere, and I try to keep it real
But all I've been through, how do you expect me to feel
I feel like I'm in this world alone
And that's the reason I don't answer when you call my phone
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Yeah, yo
It's been twenty something long hard years and I still search
For answers, crack a can and write an ill verse
I don't feel worse, I guess I feel the same
A lot of good people pa**ed, at least I remain
If I don't feel the pain, how can I feel the pleasure
How can I appreciate the sunshine without bad weather
Whatever, I don't know what I'm trying to say
My life ain't perfect, but I don't feel like dying today
I guess I could lay here alone in my bed depressed
And when I make a mistake I could let it get me stressed
But what good would that do
I'd rather let it inspire me, like my tattoo
And laugh through the hardest times
'Cause it's exactly those times in which we are defined
I don't know if I will rise to the top
But I will not sink to the bottom with a life vest or not
[Chorus]
