Sometimes i get discouraged |
|
I look around and, things are so weak |
|
People are so weak |
|
Sometimes, |
|
Sometimes i feel like crying |
|
Sometimes my heart gets heavy |
|
Sometimes i just want to leave and fly away [fly fly fly, like a dove] |
|
Sometimes i don't know what to do with myself [ow!] |
|
Passion takes over me |
|
I feel like a man |
|
Going insane |
|
Losing my brain |
|
Trying to maintain |
|
Doing my thang |
|
Hey hey hey hey hey |

Put my heart and soul into this y'all |
|
I hope you feel me |
|
Where i am, to wherever you are [ha ha ha ha] |
|
Sometimes i don't want to be bothered |
|
Sometimes i just want a quiet life, with |
|
Me and my babies, me and my lady |
|
Sometimes i don't want to get into no war |
|
[black people to be free, to be free...] |
|
Sometimes i don't wanna be a soldier |
|
Sometimes i just wanna be a man, but |
