Crazy Life

Verse 1

I Lived a life of depression always second guessing pretending I’m the best when
I always felt less n
stressing
every day a struggle to get out of bed
Trapped in my own head, a blessing that I ain’t dead
Living in the red working for the green
Feeling like a fiend searching for a dream
Chemically imbalanced
Possibly Mentally ill
Had to find strength in my soul to rebuild
Had a pain in my heart so deep
An emptiness that couldn’t be filled it’s hard to speak
Determined to defeat the negativity (living) within
Found love fought for it cause I new I deserved to win
And
I wanna create and give something back
I wanna love and live life and laugh
I wanna help my people n do right
No matter the sacrifice living this crazy life

Verse 2
I made the change and rearranged my attitude
Stopped dwelling on my failures found gratitude
Gave thanks for all I’ve seen and done
Throughout my life and promised (myself) there’s more to come
And when I work I work smarter and harder
So I can be a better artist husband and father
Author and gardner musician and scholar
Exercise my mind and body to be stronger
So I can live longer and do more
Experience the world and all it has in store
Cause it’s a beautiful life despite it all
Even when I make mistakes and slip and fall
I get (back)up n fight no matter the obstacle
I feel unstoppable it’s so phenomenal
Nothing’s impossible I’ma take flight
And reach new heights in this crazy life

Verse 3
Now I gotta 4 year old keeping me on my toes
And his little brother watching us both as he grows
So I gotta be a role model to both and show
The pros and cons of life and all I know
So I’m constantly learning and expanding my mind
Trying to find a balance on my journey and climb
Higher than I ever been despite my fears
So I can persevere through the pain and tears
And cherish every moment with my wife and my Children
Proud of our future and all that we’re building
A home filled with love n laughter
Science, art and music
all that matters
Improving how we’re living eating healthy and right
Raising our boys with peace & love so they’re kind and polite
But Giving em both the strength and knowledge to (protect and) fight
For truth and justice in this crazy life

Hook
I’m a never give in
I’m a never gonna give up
I’m always gonna-do whats right
I’m a fight till the end and my lights go out
Cause I love this crazy life
