(Chorus 4x)
I’m loving life, the mystery and the riddle of it
I had a dream and I’m living in the middle of it

(Verse 1x)
Making reality of my fantasy
Before it ends in it’s inevitable tragedy
No matter when I go it’s not the right time
Or find myself in the wrong place without my right mind
Or lose the person I swore I couldn’t live without
My little light shining creates a shadow of doubt
But I’mma bask in the glow while the light’s shining
I’m living in the now, no fast forward or rewinding
So much beauty in a world that’s so ugly
I got teenage sons who hug me while saying they love me
Got a daughter whose a toddler who’s the apple of my eye
An intelligent wife with a big heart and some thick thighs
She’s got knowledge of self, she is my true wealth, Through sickness and health
With books on her shelf as thick as herself
I said that before, I had to say it again
When I fail she holds me so when I lose I win

(Chorus 4x)

(Verse 2)
I’m not saying this to gloat
I know the storms of life will once again rock my boat
It could all change tomorrow, could be crumbled and be ruined
My good fortune has little to do with my own doing
I just want to mark this moment in time
When the world is getting sick but i’m feeling just fine
I’mma say this part a capella so you feel it
Not a self made man, I’m a product of my village
I’mma take this next moment to thank my ancestors
My family and my friends are my biggest investors
My mother and my father, my sister and my brother
And my community who always got me covered
They love me no matter what and yeah that’s deep
I get with this instead of that because I’m the black sheep
My past is preppin me for what’s coming next
Hey y'all I’m even cool with my ex

(Chorus 4x)

(Verse 3)
I breath easy but sometimes I’m stressed
Atheist say I’m lucky church folk say I’m blessed
You wanna know why, let me tell you my philosophy
I live with no animosity and a spirit of reciprocity
It’s not giving back ‘cause we're one not two
Looking out for me means looking out for you
We’re all from the same stardust
I’ve given so much love and so much trust
I give the children all the wisdom that I’ve borrowed
I take from yesterday and I give it to tomorrow
I’m in the middle just like in my dreams
Reaping what I sow is my daily routine
Eating up life like a meal at thanksgiving
Enjoying every moment ‘cause I live for a living
There are people who laugh at my plans
They’re not haters they just don’t know that they’re fans
